Took a drive to Land Between The Lakes on Good Friday. It seems my instagram handle is appropriate as I always seem to find water. I only ran a couple of gravel road roads down to the lake and somehow knocked my steering wheel a 1/4 turn off. I didn’t find any pulled threads on the steering...

I ran 285s with a leveling keys no problem stock wheels.

Got out in the ozark foothills I’m trusting it a little more to get further away from home. I actually got in the woods on some trails an had to use 4wd everything worked like it was supposed too. I will have a video up on it Friday

Took it out and used it for what it was originally intended to do, haul them kids around to different fishing holes.

You bet

Me too. no to get it on the trail!

if anyone is interested. Just know I’m new and it’s kinda awkward.

I still need to do some stuff. I need longer shocks in the rear these are at least 3" too short but its great so far it turns way sharper than IFS, it rides like a caddy. I'm not so happy with is the steering is a little drifty but with the bent tie rod and drag link there is some movement when...

Test ride after that put me country mall crawling I need a bigger rock! Wasn’t even touching the bumps

Well a two tank shake down netted me a missing nut and bushing on the passenger side front shock, a very loose nut and bushing on the driver side, and loose yoke adapter I forgot to tack in the front output on the transfer case. Not terrible for being apart as long as it was. Yes the yoke...

I felt the same way when I started the build but thanI was thinking of ways to do it cheaper and ended up costing me more. ?

Radius arm have binding by nature but mine droop far enough to drop a spring out. I plan on installing 2 or three inch springs when I upgrade to 37s. Now if you wanted to run longer springs and keep the truck level with the rear on 6” lift coils in the rear you would have to raise the coil...

Installed the winch over the weekend it’s an open road 13k, don’t think I could have built the bumper any better if I had the winch to build around. I put a strain on my crappy welds and nothing broke. I put my ‘22 superduty (company truck) in 4wd low put the transmission in neutral and locked...

About 65 mph it gets a slight whine. I was hoping that I would get it but for my first gear setup reusing old gears it’s not as bad as I expected. Hopefully when I move up to 37s and swap in 4.88s I can setup the new gears to run quite.

Yes wheel seal leaking I thought I had ripped it putting the axle in but it’s leaking around the seal at the housing. I started to put rtv around the seal when installing them, wish I would have now.

We’ll crap.

When you get to this point you’re getting close.

The winch I decided to go with is the @openroad4wd winch13k lb. I tested fitted it and I will need to relocate the control box, I did this while I was thinking about the gears I was setting up and waiting for someone to guide me on the interwebs. From multiple people I should have just bought...

Also the shim kit came in for the 9.5 so wish me luck on swapping gears and carrier.

A little more progress. Part’s finally came from Barnes, I got the coil mounts and the bump pads welded on. Fully welded the track bar bracket on and boxed the upper link brackets. I plan to trim the lower a little bit a box it also.
