Sorry for the hiatus on this thread. Bit of an update for you gentlemen,
I actually sold that lift the week after I bought it. After a fair bit of thought I think I may just go the route of Dana 44's and SAS the front one day. Until then truck is more then capable enough for us at the moment and when it gets stuck I've got the winch to yank it through.
So a fair bit has happened in the last couple months...
I chipped away at some nice to do things, New door seals were first on the list. This really improved the road noise or lack thereof.
I found a mint fender at the junkyard and then knocked it over on onto a wheel hub the next day and basically destroyed it... Dented to hell. I returned it to the junkyard shortly after. Soooooo disappointed in my clumsiness.
Did a ton of ice fishing, got into some really nice brookies this day.
Bought a spool gun so I can start welding aluminum and get started on something I've been wanting to do for a while. More on that later.
Here are ton more ice fishing/exploring pics,
This reservoir is a 30 min walk from our front door,
