Was it the concession lakes trail? There's a lot of trails there.

And the water has been abnormally high from the spring

 

That's what I've heard.
Really hoping to do it. I hear the camping spots there are great

 

Got home and looked at the invoice again. Correction, shipping was $300 US including all the brokerage fees and taxes. Memory is failing me. I've updated my original post.

 

It was the Concession Lakes trail. Due to time constraints I didn't complete the trail. If the hard parts were near the end, then I hadn't encountered them.

 

maybe @Taco-Can can chime in on that part. I haven't run it just seen pictures from it and talked to people who have run it. All said it was a great trail and hard.

Could have been easier at the time.

 

Got these on today....

She sits at 25 7/8 from center of wheel to bottom of fender flare. Did some flex test and it looks like everything jived well. I'll put up some pics in the morning when theres actual daylight

 

I'm hoping to have these on my cv axle for the next run to Ardbeg....

 

We have to open our own tacoma-swimming club. I need those too

 

I still have nightmares of that day when I opened my passenger door and it was Niagara falls for the next 5 minutes lol @Jake4848

 

Be glad you didn't have to pull plugs and turn her over. For no good reason the scariest part for me was when we went back and my fogs were on by themselves. Did you ever end up getting the vinyl floor?

 

Yes, that was scary and sobered me up quickly lol
I made (stitched) my own floor insulation out of moving blankets that I can machine wash now and on top I just placed original flooring without insulation. Now I can wash that all very quickly.

 

How was the install? Fuck rivits seems to be the consensus.

 

That's genius.

About 6 hours. Not the worst job I've done but definitely a pain in the ass. Since I was swapping leafs I had a little more work than a regular install. Ground the heads off then borrowed my neighbors torch, poked a hole through the center of 2 and found drilling was easier. Did a combination of grinding, drilling and striking. 3 lbs mallet and a 3" punch.....
Super droopy now. I'll post some pics of the old mounts.... They had bends in them already.

 

Our frames are made of very thin steel. I may be looking at reinforcement.

 

I'm considering boxing based on how mch flex I currently have with all the weight...all in time.

 

Do these move as well or no?

I know on Ronny Dahl YouTube page him and all the other guys were talking about some articulating leaf springs. Was able to get a lot more flex from it. That's what I want to find

 

Generally you get a lot more droop and lose a bit of uptravel. However for crawling droop is pretty important as you want all four on the floor.

 

Lots of movement. Mainly droop. Research shackle flip. This particular one is from archive garage and the springs are allpro expedition. You'll need 5 things, shocks, leafs, a flip, extended brake lines and longer u bolts. Alot of articulation can be gained by just leafs and shocks.
