Love that last picture, it looks expedition ready in "Adventure Red"! Have you solved your compressor check valve problems? I like the box you made up that protects everything. Well done!

Cheers :beer:,

Thanks KC, Wil, P, and OldSven for the kind words!

P,
I ordered up another check valve from www.sierraexpeditions.com

Hope to install that at the openning of the tank........Everything should go as planned.....problem should be solved!

Great job. The truck is looking awesome. How much lift are you getting out of the front with the bumper and winch? I just ordered some DR's and plan on a synthetic cable this winter.:drool:

 

[Willman]

How much lift are you getting out of the front with the bumper and winch?

I'm about 2 1/4" on the DR's...The winch and etc. only add about...45 lbs. giver take.....No affect on the lift with the added weight as of yet.....

 

[tacollie]

That makes me happy to hear. My OME 882 coils don't like all that weight up front. Do you run your sway bar?

Wil,
How much exposed thread are you showing on the Donahoes to maintain the 2 1/4" lift? I'm at 66 mm on the driver side and approx 55 mm on the passenger side. Refer to this thread for pictures of what I mean: Donahoe exposed threads vs. lift correlation.

Cheers,
Pierre
