Those look like interesting options. I'm looking at doing something similar for my hi-lift, rather than having it bounce around in the bed. I went with HiLift's 4XRAC that is normally used for mounting to a flat bumper (Jeep). My plan is to drill and set 8 rivnuts (4 per bracket) and then...

I considered getting double light cut-outs, but decided against it. I'm still wondering if I should have done it!

Keeping a close eye on it and no grease loss yet. It's been on highway and a couple dozen miles of rough FS roads, 4HI and 4LO. Still very possible to have issues with it though. Nice Sequoia! Wasn't sure I'd like the bronze/black combo but I think they go together very well. 1st Gen...

190 was engine temp. I've had problems in the past with overheating while towing, but didn't have a monitor hooked up at the time to check temps or engine or trans. The dash gauge would rise to above 3/4 when going uphill at all, towing a 3-4K lbs boat. I suspect that the transmission may...

This also happened yesterday: I bought 16" x 8 SCS F5's in dark bronze on a bit of an impulse buy. I've admired them for a while but they were always sold out. Well I happened to check a week or so ago and remarkably they still had stock even after it being a few days since the new inventory...

Never heard of the BB trick. How much would someone put in the tire?

I had a chance to get some wheeling time with a buddy of mine this morning. He brought his Jeep, and we headed into the mountains between us and Wenatchee (Naneum State Forest). It was mostly Forest Service and Green Dot roads. We aired down to 15 PSI, but even still the roads were incredibly...

It doesn't look like they are rubbing at all. I took a look under the truck this morning and no grease is coming out of the small hole in the boot. However, it looks like my driver's side axle seal might be leaking. I'll dry it up and give it a few days to see if it gets wet again. Welcome...

That bed looks super nice now. What's the red light for in the bed? And how are you liking the sound from the sub? I'm wanting to do similar (sub under the seat) but am undecided on using the larger space under the driver's side for double subs, or the smaller one for a single like you did.

That's certainly possible. So far so good, but it's only been 25 miles and no freeway yet. We'll see how it goes. I replaced the passenger side CV axle last night, went smoothly with no issues. The noise/vibration is still there so my next step is to drop the rear driveshaft and have it...

Awesome! Makes me miss the Texas scenery.

OK, finally got that ECGS bushing in there. It was pretty much the worst thing ever. Freezing it overnight didn't help. For whatever reason the fit was SUPER tight going in....took nearly two hours of solid hammering to get it in there with a race driver....and I'm positive it was going in...

Yeah, no kidding....that looks super clean. Once I get my current projects done then I want to get back in there, clean everything up, and paint it.

Getting this ECGS bushing swap done is royal pain. It took forever to get the old needle bearing out because the insert from ECGS that fits behind the bearing would not go in, no matter what I tried. I messed around with it for 30 minutes before I finally took a Dremel to it and shaved off a...

Nice setup. Love the Method wheels, I'm going to have to take a closer look at those. Are you going to do anything on rear besides the Timbrens? You're definitely sagging back there with the camper in....are the Timbrens sufficient to support it or will you need to do a leaf pack?

Time to tear into the front end! Life has been busy, so I haven't done much on the truck except listen to the vibration get worse. So now I'm going to start crossing potential problems off the list. First up is the notoriously bad needle bearing in the front differential. Apparently the...

Like!

Nice awning, looks clean. Are there poles that can be added at the corners to provide support on windy days? And what happened to your front fender flare?

Nice to see it completed! I'm really liking that fold-down table. So useful.

This is how I adjusted mine and it is truly terrible. I worry that it might damage the threads on the shock body though so I stopped. I have 700lbs springs.
