    why does we needing the extended brake lines? I havent yet, or maybe I do and didn't know I did?

    and on the side, OK4wd is having a sale on ARB fridge/freezers. People that don't like to burn money say they are a good option.

    Anyone else have that file folder in the file cabinet for truck parts? You know the one you open throw the receipt in and close real fast because you really don't wanna know how much you've actually spent modding your truck.

    Didn't think I needed them either. Full droop in the front with the wheels turned and the line was taught.

    Rears are at their limit with the Dakars. My limit strap shocks kept them intact, but I got them swapped at the same time to plan for the future.

    Brakes were pretty touchy after the installation. In a good way.

    Yeah, it's not noticible with the wheels straight. I saw the taught line with the wheels turned back in November and thought, "Oh shit! That just moved to the top of the priority list!"

    Then I wheeled it at Hollister, changed the back bumper, went to Death Valley, changed the camper, went to Hollister again, changed the bumper again, had the shocks revalved, 700# springs, installed the skids, went to Carrizo Plain, changed to an @Iggy. dual battery mount, got the swing out, and finally switched brake lines before slickrock.

    I don't recommend this sequence.

    Ok, will add lines to my next list with the new swing out and sliders I am ordering.

    I just noticed some cap rack cracks, so need to figure out a new rack or a fix for those next also.

    And I just got done saying I have nothing else to do to the truck....
