    rebuilding? Brave man! I just replaced it instead of fixing the boot. Was quoted like $250 or so for a rebuild at my local trusted shop

    Sadly, not much.
    I bought a used Four Wheel Camper, installed, thought more about it for 10 hours, and then re sold.

    I would love a pop up camper, but only for about 4 weeks a year. Having on a daily driver in Seattle is really absurd, and I don’t really have the best place to store. It felt like more of a liability than liberty.
    Bummed, but will just keep my current setup with sleeping platform + Leer canopy until I have a bigger garage/storage solution.

    Dobinson’s coils and shocks. SOS sliders, ditch light brackets, and front skid. Rigid ditch lights. BFG KO(dos) More minor stuff.
    It’s not bad. We did it with OEM boots. Only issue is we never got one band to seal completely. Had to apply a little silicone.

    wow...never seen anything like that before...I upgraded my bulbs to LED's not long ago and just restored my original headlights because none of the aftermarket lights "tickled my fancy" lets say.
    Those look killer tho!

    Just got it back. Looks good. Alignment seems good. Loved the tech saying the numbers were a bit off, but if he ran it again it would be perfect....on top of it being different numbers from last time, and the new non-OE cam has a plastic sleeve so it doesn’t rust. He walked that back and said “Actually carbon or something.” Lol, yeah okay.

    He also said if it drives weird come back to do the other LCA. Ummmm, again bro, if it’s the right LCA, then why would it drive weird?

    whatever! Wrung what ya brung and I gotta be somewhere this weekend. Time is money.

    Any Mods? One. Maybe two, tops...
    I’m just wondering, is :bananadead: a big possibility?

    To further reduce road/engine noise. I've been doing a ton of sound deadening projects lately. It all adds up to a quieter ride. Wouldn't say its all that noticeable, and I didn't take a DB rating beforehand. But I have been using a frequency analyzing app on my phone to monitor road noise. Almost forgot to mention, it protects the paint on your hood from engine heat.
