    That is just the box. What about drive shafts? setting up the control. More work and no time to wheel is what that path looks like.

    My swaybar bushings on my car are going out. Sounds like the suspension is going to fall off when your suspension articulates. Kinda sounds like a blown out strut.

    wheel would chirp / squeal around every turn and it killed the tread on the inside.

    also the tire was much closer to the UCA on the bent side.

    Yep, I never had a desire for a crawl box until that video but fuck... The price, the work to install it, adding another component to fail on the trail (that might disable a vehicle depending on the failure) , and only to use it a handful of times a year make it hard to say yes.

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    This sounds like spring steel vibrating against something. It rattles pretty good cold then once it's warmed up goes away. I definitely feel it in the tranny hump as well. Today (with a very full trunk) it was a bit louder and sounded farther to the rear than I've ever heard it before.

    Bugging me like crazy though.

    Death Valley isn't the worst thing I've had happen.

    On my last trip to owens Valley I was on a shelf road and I knocked a boulder that was precariously sitting on the side of the road.... into the road, it landed in between my front and rear passenger tires. Height of the Boulder was a little under the frame, so instead of the rear tire climbing over the boulder it was pushing the rear of the truck towards the cliff as I was creeping along. I stopped a couple inches before the driver side rear tire started to go over the cliff. The boulder was too heavy to move and I couldn't drive over it so after I calmed myself down from a panic attack I spent 2-3 hours digging a hole to dump the rock in.

    I think that's the closest I've come to dying in my truck. :D

    I dug the hole right next and partially under the boulder, the way it was shaped allowed me to tilt it over into the hole and let it fall. It was about 18" inches tall and 3.5ft long and shaped like that big ass shiny/reflective bean artwork in chicago. I pushed one end in the hole but the other end didnt fall, so I dug out the other end more. However, I dug out too much and the rock fell and pinched my fingers at the edge of the hole, took some panicked digging and a heave-ho with my free arm to lift it high enough to get my fingers out.

    Yeah, it was quite the 1 man fustercluck. :D
