+SconnieHailer's Build & BS+

That's why hiem uppers are da bomb!

And mine started splitting along the weld on the upper most part of the ears on the frame

 

Haha! It's on the list of upgrades! Just waiting for the right deal!

 

I forget, are you planning for a 2+ kit?

I really need to call or email trac this week and hopefully get those coming my way. I was crawling around today in the mtns (will have pics in a bit) and had some really good creaking and poping noises under full articulation. Go fast parts make go fast noises and im used to those but the ones I heard today made me nervous...

Also on a side note the clevis' have been jingling around alot lately in the mounts on the frame for my limit straps need to get some kind of remedy going soon for that. I even have the springs that should keep that from hapening on the shafts of the clevis' but it's still noisy.

 

Decided on skipping the +2, way too much money for an extra 1.5-2" of travel. Have stock length lowers coming. Just need to find a good sale on heimed uppers or some used ones.

 

Little adventure today southwest of Lander.

Jax is finally swimming.

Looks like a good Sunday fun day!

 

Good to see the dog swimming!

 

Was a great Sunday funday! Super stoked Jax took to swimming finally. Won't lie it took me dunking him once and bam he's all cool with paddling all day lol. He paddled hard for 8+ retrieves and didn't want to get back in the truck which is weird for him haha.

 

Looksike a fun weekend!

And what are you getting from trac??

 

Lca frame mount gussets if they'll sell them to me. Like what we talked about when I was at ur place

Guessing a clutch..cause you still haven't regeared so its had an extremely hard life

Damn..those gussets..look not fun to install..haha

 

Not a clutch... But you're right. Regear will happen soon. It starts with an H and ends with eaders....

Annd yea, had the same thoughts on those gussets. I'd have to cut the tc gussets off first too.

 

Headlight bleaders?

 

Those LCA gussets are no joke!! Really gunna bother them after my rear is finished

 

What gears you going with?

 

4.56 at roughly the same time as I go for the 295 ko2's should be late Sept or early Oct.

 

URD Headers?? How the hell did the wife approve that??? haha

 

Thanks!

Yes, for sure KO2 next go around. Probably September/October since that's when BFG told me the 295/75/16 comes out. My MTR's will likely be to the point that i wont want them for the winter by then...

What u talkin bout willis? lol I've been waiting on the 12+'s to come out every since the equal lengths for the 05-11 came out! 30wtq and 17 hp gain dynoed results, which extends down pretty far into the low end revs which im most pumped about.
