Did a hard hard look into their MRA setup, but both body and resi's on the Elka's drew me in to begin with last fall with the GB, then I was told about Dobinsons for alternative leaf replacement over Dakar or Icon. Took said nosedive into their coilovers, which do have aluminum resi's, plus rebound adjustment (in addition to the normal adjustment of compression hi and low speed).

Edit: also thinking about maybe only having ~2.5" up front when all done...but went with up to 3" in the front setup.

Now I have to look at Elka's. New name to me. (This whole realm is new to me.) Spending the $$ for a two inch lift when a 3" is out there for not much more doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I do want to go with a heavier set up so I can add additional toys, err equipment, down the road. I want to loose the brush guard for a bumper / winch for example.

Got bored and changed my taillights again. Went from OEM Offroad to OEM 2020 Pro to these Winflo Raptor shaped. I really like em except for the white part. I wish it was red. It lights up red or i should say more of a pink in the day. Ill leave em for awhile and try something else or go back to the OEM Pro

How much were the 2020 pro lights?

Install day today for @patdeezy ’s sliders. Here’s what the finished product looks like. For anyone wondering, in the notes I posted earlier I mentioned that these were going to be 6” wide at the front and 7.5” at the kickout and angled 15 degrees. They’re on the conservative side but proportionally perfect IMO for a light off road truck that sees 80/20 time on/off road. Someone that goes HAM in the rocks might want more/different protection which is why I go over the design process at the beginning of the build.

Had @GHOST SHIP install a set of custom sliders he built for me today

Is there a trick to getting the patches to stick there? Mine falls off with slightest touch.

Finally got tires for my Taco. BFG KO2s 265x75 16s. I like the stock rims. Sliders and tires done. Next is a mild 2” lift. Any recommendations?

Thanks. Not yet but I doubt it will. If you go 33s or larger is then you run into rubbing issues.

Since there seems to have been a 80-90 % turnover in members who are viewing this thread in the last year I decided to share something I posted last Memorial Day. My apologies go to those who already saw it.

quote:

It is important to understand the true meaning of Memorial Day. After flying in the Navy for 20 years and having 15 mayday emergencies, engine fires, cabin fires, etc, etc I still came back alive. It is not about those of us who made it back alive. It is about those who made the ultimate sacrifice who did not return alive. It is about those who will never again be able to experience their dreams and aspirations. It is about those who will never again be able to laugh and cry in life. It is about those who will never again be able to hold their loved ones. They are the true heroes. Greater love has no one than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Well said Tom.

Reminding us of the sacrifices others have made to keep us a free people is never redundant.
