    Dropped it off for an alignment. Definitely should have spent a bit more time trying to get the cams set when I installed the new hardware. Luckily the shop I took it to is only about 1 mile away.

    Mounted my Smittybilt 10K winch to my Mobtown bumper and then welded up a quick bracket to mount the solenoid. Not perfect, but it won't really be visible. Going to get some paint on it tomorrow.

    Question for you 2nd gen guys. So my 07 has no traction control button and was curious if there’s any way for me to disable it another way? Is there a fuse I could pull out to disable it without it disabling something else that I might need? I would only want it off for when I off road so I would need to be able to turn it back on.

    One summer, a co-worker of mine would update me on his progress on his summertime hobby - he was building a couple of AK-47 rifles from kits. The process involves a bit of welding.

    One day, he came into work limping.

    I said, "Let me guess... welding barefoot?"

    His face turned bright red with embarrassment - he didn't need to answer.

    He had been walking away from his work piece when he stepped (barefoot) on a piece that had dropped during welding.

    Ouch, that’s rough. Closest thing I’ve got is plasma cutting in crocs. Lemme tell you, horrendous idea. I didn’t realize plasma cutters throw sparks like they do but I learned real quick.

    If I wasn't an idiot I wouldn't need the light!

    I've lost a case of 12ga shells, propane tank, plastic bin with my pelican case for locking up my carry gun (had some mags and ammo in it), recovery gear, jumper cables. :frusty:

    Looks good, nice and beefy. What are the benefits of a shackle flip though?

    More axle articulation and a softer ride, however a lot of people go back to the stock shackle style because they say the truck leans in turns too much with them flipped.
