    I have a spare pair of Baja Squadron Pro ambers I'm thinking of adding to the back of Prinsu for campsite setup lighting. Bought a set of UTVs instead of the Taco specific setup for my fogs, so they’ll be good for rear gear lighting.

    That happens sometimes from my location overseas. Apologies for the unwarranted double tap.

    Connected the illumination part of my CH4x4 switches (now they light up with my headlights), ran the other wires under the hood.
    Installed Energy Suspension polyurethane sway bar bushings, installed Icon sway bar relocate brackets, removed factory skid plate and brackets, installed Off Road fuel tank straps so I can add a skid later, greased my TC upper control arm bushings.

    Then, when I was done I lowered the truck (was on a lift at work). The driver side was higher than the passenger side. There was more than a foot between the top of the L/R tire and the fender. A couple guys at work and I looked at it. The driver side leaf got hung up on the shackle and wouldn't budge.
    I had to put it back in the air and lower it again. I also noticed I'm missing two pads that go between the leafs, they weren't on the floor so they must've fell out while driving. It also pulled the boot off the lower part of the L/R shock. Had to cut the old tie wrap and use a new one.

    When I do put my truck on the lift, the rear axle drops a lot. It puts strain on the brake hoses (already upgraded to longer ones) and the ABS wires.
    Do I need limit straps?
    Are there spacers that I can use to space out the brake and ABS brackets so there isn't any strain on them?

    I also put more of my interior back together. I'm still waiting for one panel. Been on back order for a month. Now they say the 12th, we will see.

    I’m stock suspension right now but I’m going to upgrade to Bilstein 5100, is it worth replacing the coils for a smoother ride? Not looking to lift I like standard ride height

    A lot of switch companies have the custom text option.

    Installed a Dorman fan shroud/coolant reservoir to replace the factory one that I busted a few weeks back. Took less than an hour. Installed a plug in one tire where I ran over a nail, and did an admittedly half assed engine detail job. I'll revisit that one another time when I get a better brush to clean the dirt away.
