Lol Morning Matt had the wrong thread
Good Morning James
I need coffee

 

Kinda thought so, it’s early I’ve already downed half a pot.

 

Got up turned on the pot, just getting my first cup

 

Morning fellas,
Hope you all are doing well.

 

We doing great. How you doing

 

Doing alright, trying to keep it slow and steady.

 

Any plans for this 3 day weekend

 

Doing good Sir.

 

Picked up a new to me arb compressor, might try to get that mounted up. Also need to re adjust the front bumper. I failed to drill the 4 locking bolt holes and after Jambo it moved about 1/4" on the pass side.

 

Have a good weekend my man

 

Just laying around being lazy. Enjoy your weekend too

 

Time to update on some Mods and some changes I've made recently.

1. Removed original ARB turn/marker lights from the ARB bumper and replaced them with 2 Rigid Industries SRQ flush mount amber flood pattern lights. (#925123)

Great looking truck man!

 

Nice work James

 

Thank you. It's one of those always under construction projects. haha!
Love the risers BTW, total game changer for me.

 

Thanks Manner! Looking forward to seeing that shop of yours when you finish it.

 

Going to look at them. I got the other ones offered on TW. But have not installed them yet.

 

very nice looking truck!!! Could you clarify something for me? 1st page of this thread it says "(Rear) Med duty Dakar springs with add-a-leaves and OME 90001 shocks." When you say add-a-leaf do you mean the OME add a leaf? or did you throw in another brand or type of leaf? I have been wondering if anyone has tried this before and what the results where like.

 

I added the extra OME add-a-leaf thus making the med-duty dakars the same as a set of hd-dakars. I have no idea how compatible other brand AAL's would be with the Dakar springs.

 

Thanks. I have been waiting to read about someone trying another brand on the OME Dakars. I wish they had a in between the normal and HD. I think that would fit most peoples needs. Well just a word of caution about my experience with Dakars. They are beating up my shackles. I have had the HDs on for just over a year. So watch out for it especially if you wheel.
