    Finally Loctite my damn upper arm nut. Damn thing kept backing off when wheeling making a sloppy feel and clunk.

    @dtaco06 you have on board air? Thinking of where the hell I can mount a tank.

    I'm running mine in the right cubby and a tank where my spare was. I'm gonna see if relentless could maybe covert a part of my bumper to a tank by sealing it off possibly. Haven't asked yet though

    Not the tiny little ARB compressor. I'm doing a viar 3 gallon with compressor for my horns and to air up after wheeling. I have a small space where a second battery would go on passenger side under the hood. But the tank is 24"x7" that's big and there's no room under these things.

    I suggest a ratchet strap around the axle to like the slider or something solid

    Yep going to need a ratchet strap or a come along. Do one side at a time to prevent more roll back.

    Pretty sure. They're right outside the axle seal. It's not much but something to think about in the near future.

    i sadly commute and do work out of mine daily. 70 miles a day or more. It kills me to run this one into the ground instead of a beater but i cant swing another vehicle. Just hoping it lasts another few years.

    yeah thankfully both of ours are paid for and been enjoying that extra cash. Most likely id lease if they can waive the miles once i trade in to them. Which i know can happen, few of my friends have those in contracts. Then keep the runner for weekend/fun and get an Avalon because those are badass and big for my giraffe ass.

    i dont want a payment either but if it prolongs the life of the runner, then it may be worth the $200 or so a month for a lease. Also debated on getting a Tundra, so i can tow the runner around for wheeling trips. But mainly because my work pays my fuel, otherwise screw the 11 MPG
