    Depends on tree placement. In my neighborhood, it takes 30 minutes. Pollen is crazy out here.

    So, after a long looooong wait on my part, I finally had some time to do my @ARCHIVE Hammer hangers along with new shackles and Archive poly bushings, I also tore apart both leaf packs and cleaned them out and trimmed the second leaf back 2.5” and installed leaf liner in between every leaf to get rid of the squeak of these shotty Dakars... Also did the diff breather mod, and was able to get my entire roof, back wall, and rear floor lined with noico 80mm and some noico foam 120mm mat. Two big projects done, now I can sit back and relax until the next shipment of surprises comes... lol

    I moved by DC's rear seat around a bit for stereo reasons. I'm 6' 2" and my head doesn't hit the headliner so that turned out good.. Tomorrow I'm hoping to build the subwoofer box.

    Yeah, it's slightly less noticeable in silver. Still sucks though.

    got bored again so I touched up the failing powdercoat on my rigid bar and used my color matched paint pen on the letters.... ya ya ya I know it doesn't look the best but its cool. Also noticed some extra holes in my bumper im thinking about putting some rigid ignite aux back up lights in. Just not sure how I would wire it and where to put the switch. Does anybody know where I can find a 1 switch holder for the cup holder? I know they make ones for three switches but I'll never need that many.

    Took it on a nice little cruise to help @Breakfast Taco take down a portable garage.
    I realized that Winter really needs to end so I can start doing all the mods I have lined up and I also have a bearing type noise that might be a bad ring and pinion (already replaced the needle bearing with the ECGS bushing).

    The truck had the noise when I bought it, I need to get it on a lift and listen for it.

    I cheaped out and got one from Amazon after seeing videos of people making them work, returning it and getting OEM. You're saying you had problems even with OEM?
