MODIFICATION: Dual Redundant Rear Lower Control Arm Bolts

Add some dual redundancy to the rear control arm bolting schema.

At the last leg coming down from Imogene Pass, the Sequoia...
Here's my way of giving back.
She's on her own weight now. Tube frame sub-structure on the damaged side. Owner Chris is looking for tube bumper solutions now.
TECH: Suspension Geometry, Alignment Specs, and Shakedown Run
Alignment and Suspension Tech:
With summit just a little over a week away, I thought that it was time to shake this booty around and see what falls off *crosses fingers*.
First off, my alignment specs and some suspension geometry...
MODIFICATION: WaterPORT
GOAL:
Move the WaterPORT from the roof rack.
PURPOSE:
The WaterPORT is great to have. Not only for trips, but it's great washing off the beach days, and cooling off after hikes and runs, as well. But it's not very convinient being on the roof and having to break it...

MODIFICATION: 3-Jerry Can Holder

Looking at the layout of my can holder swingout, I knew I could fit 3 cans for a...
MODIFICATION: Relocate Windshield Washer Reservoir
GOAL:
Retain/regain windshield washer functionality.
PURPOSE:
Remember this?
Well, I took it out soon after tubbing the fenders and firewall. As a result, I lost the capability to wash my windshield. It's incredibly annoying on snow, sand...

200 miles without a swaybar, 300 miles with.
A front swaybar is a must for this kit. Without it, you will experience some squirrelly tracking at speeds 60mph+. The added unsprung mass of the solo...
