How did the propane mount hold up offroad?

 

Pretty good actually. Just gotta remember to tighten down the strap real good, otherwise the tank will rattle and rotate in the mount. Hit a few washboards that seemed to rattle almost everything except the propane tank loose, so it should be ok lol

 

Yeah I've gotten a lot of comments when I take turns even on pavement that the truck looks like it's going to lift a tire or flip, might be putting my rear sway back on lol

 

Good to hear. Did you make it so you can open your hatch?

Do you still have your front?

 

Haven't modded the swingout yet, will be next on my list. I almost feel like doing a reconfigure of the entire area, maybe that way I can make it modular and put a hi-lift or chainsaw when I need. It's nice having a buddy to weld shit up for me, if I went through a fab shop for all the small stuff I'd probably be even more broke.

Have no fronts, really prefer the off-road feel without either sway bars. But I have so much body roll.....

 

I like mine off road without the front (still have the rear), but driving around LA sucks without both. Keep thinking of replacing the front one.

 

I'll just leave these here

@MattJakobs had a leak at the scenic view but we got it all figured out.

 

What kinda leak?

 

Some yellow fluid. Smelled like alcohol. Every time I'd lay there, I'd notice the weird leak

 

I want to go wheeling

 

Had to flush the system before driving

Hey, Matt. What the front winch bumper that you have?

I had my Taco stolen two weekends ago and insurance is going to settle come the 30th. Looks like I'm going with a T4R Trail to kill the pain. I still have a bunch of stuff in the garage that I can use, and one is a new Smittybilt K20 Comp 10k winch. I'll sell the NIB Pelfreybilt HWM that I have to help finance a new bumper insert.

 

The south is so fucking cool. I'm amped

 

It's from Relentless. Do it man. I love that thing. It is absolutely perfect for my needs. Definitely don't need the weight or clearance of a full plate replacement, but wanted to be able to run a winch down the line. Plus I like the look. Thing is crazy beefy still. 75 pounds for that little thing. Weighs the same as my old bumper did on my tacoma haha

 

Also super sorry to hear your truck got stolen. That sucks man.

 

I spent about 18 months in North Carolina and hit Georgia, South Carolina and Florida.

It's a great place.

Not CA great, but we're horribly spoiled. At least up in NorCal.

 

Dale yeah brother

 

I like CA weather, but not a big fan of it. I'd rather take a decline in weather for fewer people, less traffic, and cheaper.

 

Thanks, man. I was looking at the Southern Speed Off Road, which is similar.

I've dealt a lot with Relentless, so maybe I can get a discount.

EDIT: Found it!
