Pulled the rotting meat out of my fridge! The only scary bit was the hamburger which I am pretty sure is the source of a toxic e-coli. For that I wore gloves and a mask and washed my hands with bleach. :Wow1: Left overs from baja I didn't chuck out yet. Been sick, didn't want to deal with it...

It is a good beer, I saw it and grew up listen to them way back in the day so just had to have it. Don't need or even want to drink it all the time but the bottle had to come home with me. :) Cheers

Thanks and appreciate the info. My front is about 4" of lift and I like it a lot, consider it done now and not wanting to mess with it much more. Just wanting to dial in the rear. Before doing anything I was at 1.3* from level front to back and liked this a lot. No noticeable stink bug, ect ect...

Few more pics Cheers

Thanks Kurt! I will get with you before to long concerning rear springs. I edited the post above a bit (and will probably a bit more) to include more. Besides getting sick it was a fantastic trip albeit short. For me it was a great shake down run on the Cruiser. Meaning now I can do some more...

Great write up Jason and great pictures! Glad you guys had such a great time. Seems like it all played out perfect on your end of things and for your trip. Glad you both made it, super stoked we got to hang out in Baja and I agree, that ceviche was also the best I have ever had. Dreaming of it...

Alrighty, now that I am home I will do a bit of trip report (short) and add some pics. As you can see by previous posts it was a major crush for me to get ready to leave. There was a bunch of reasons for that which I will skip but it was a first for me to crunch so hard before leaving on a...

Btw I did bottom out the back end a half dozen or so times in Baja. When fully loaded it is not very happy back there. Down the hwy at about 6200lbs the rear is happy but it needs to be dialed in better for sure. Luckily didn't blow a shock. I don't mind being stiff in the rear when unloaded and...

Rear is a bit soft Kurt, I put the Slee 1" spacer in you guys provided. I thought the 863j's were the stiffest/most lift but if there is a better spring for me I am all ears. I weighed the truck on the way to Baja, loaded but not full up on food, water or the 10 gallons of jerry cans full plus...

Kurt, Bryce & CO crew thanks so much! Without the new coils I would have been screwed. My old coils seemed fine until loaded and then it was obvious they were worn out. I am still looking to bring the rear up about 1" but for now the new 863s work. Got back into the USA yesterday, cut the...

So I nailed it spot on for the cut & turn. Alignment specs are caster @ 4* one side and 3.7* the other. Camber is spot on too. Trucks drives like a dream now, very happy I did the c&t and very happy with the results. Steering is super nice too. I am supposed to be leaving real soon but have...

Kurt just left you guys a message please call me! I fabed my own mounting brackets, mounting to Thule bars. Started working on the truck yesterday at noon, still working on it!! At the alignment shop right now. First drive in weeks. Drives very nice, stoked!! Got 3-5hrs to finish it up. Cheers

All natural.....been there. Long time ago. Do yourself a favor man and go buy a small compressor and some air tools. Makes everything so easy. I changed all my front sway bar bushes out the other day, 20 min job with air tools. Years and years ago I picked up on Ebay a military Ingersol Rand...

Hey on the shocks, I have found this works real well. Put a strap wrench on the body, can buy a strap wrench at most plumbing stores. They won't damage the shocks body because it is either canvas or rubber for the strap. Then put your impact on the pin nut and it will come right off. Works every...

Almost done! Put a 17hr day in yesterday, got 4hrs sleep and have one more shift in the shop (I hope) and I am done. All I have left is all the wiring, change some fluids, fab bracket for ARB awning and mount it up. Camping platform is done and mounted up in the truck for good. Happy with how...

Ya real close. Bumper is all done and mounted up. I painted it and plastidipped the jerry can holder. Finish the camping platform, change some oils, fab bracket for ARB awning and mount it up and a bunch of wiring. That is it and I am ready to go! Cheers

Cheers

No more issues with the offset tres. Short on time so leaving the panhard alone. done deal rear bumper going on this evening Cheers

So got the rough in on the platform in the back done, that was about 2am last night when I took the above picture. We built it out of 1/2" AC and 1x2. Glued and biscuted it all. It is really stout and only weighs about 15lbs, maybe 20lbs. Just barely enough room in the battery boxes for two...
