Wishbone Runner's Build

Take a look at the Cooper ST Maxx, been hearing good things about them from CO performance.

 

@Flboarder was just telling me how much better they are than his duracraps.

Might be my next set, although that'll be in like 4 years with how many miles I'm putting on the truck.

 

If you can keep them aligned. Remind us again how long your first set lasted?

 

Not long enough. But even at that rate, they'd last at least 3 more seasons. Will be surprised if I put 5K miles on the truck each year now.

That being said, the ability to do my own alignments will greatly increase my chases of having tires last longer. New set has like 4K on them and look excellent.

 

Good deal, I will be grabbing 2 new ones this spring swap out the worn (and sidewall slashed) rear ones. Also new lower shock mounts to avoid further punctures.

 

For reference later, tired of my GPS suction cup falling off.

Nice, do you have any better pics/details? Right now I have a small Garmin Nuvi in the spot by the grab handle on the driver side, stuck to the window, but it falls off every few weeks. I would like to setup up to a better nav solution though with a tablet system like you have. Is that tablet holder one that bolts to the seat mount?

 

Awesome, thanks. So would you go with a different tablet mount if you did it again?

 

my ram mount setup

 

Oooh, that's nice Bob. Are you just using a screw in between the dash and bezel, or does it mount to an actual tapped hole?

 

picked up this, http://www.rammount.com/part/RAP-202U-HON2

and yes, some screws between the bezel and dash down into the solid frame below...

 

Yo Wishbone, I picked up a cheap Android Tablet for $140 and a ram mount, drilled into the dash. Works pretty good:

 

What app do you use for offroad Bob?

 

that is HEMA North America

 

Cool, which RAM did you use?

This weekend's progress, got some help from @3378jakesr5 with some tube work, finally bent a cross brace for the Dirt Designs shock bucket engine crossover bracket, and some kickouts for my sliders that I have also been meaning to add for a while. Had to do a bit of massaging on the AC lines to clear the passenger side, driver went in without issue. Also got some replacement switches from Air On Board so all of the new switches are well illuminated now.

 

Probably not, but it is just two bolts to get the brace off, pulls right out.

 

It bolts over the coil bucket using the coilover bolts, then one bolt on each side for the brace. Here are the braces (not mine):

 

Yup, just adding stiffness to the front end. Also adds a way to add a hoop for bypasses later down the road. Here is the thread on them.
