The Lair

In her Spanks.

 

Armor and suspension.

 

Ok I will. Thanks

 

I need to get a little more organized and will tweak some things but the proof of concept worked nicely. Now I have a waterproof container with the essential trail repair tools.

 

You has list?

 

That R & P impact looks just as good today as it did during your 3rd attempt at self installation.

 

Ol girl has seen some use, that's for sure.

 

Lenovo makes great laptops. Good choice Randall

 

I'm quite happy with it so far. Hopefully it withstands my shenanigans.

 

That is a tall undertaking. But we shall remain hopeful.

 

Thank you sir. I've been wanting to put something together. I looked for a universal pre-built, but nothing fit the bill.

 

Between the case and tools it was only like $200ish for all this I think, though I didn't really keep track. Not including the impact of course.

This way I can tackle pretty much anything suspension related, change a CV axle, and remove spark plugs in case of hydrolock scare. Of course there are always more tools to be carried but this should cover almost anything I'll encounter on the trail.

 

Damn. I knew I should have added 10% to my guess.

 

I'm curious what some of my friends trucks weigh now. If I had to guess, everyone is grossly underestimating how much additional weight they've added (including me).

 

Disregard IG screengrab. This is easier.

 

To add to this, I only have essential sized wrenches and sockets. 10,12,14,17,19,21,22,24 wrenches and sockets and a 35mm socket for the cv axle. And two of each wrench.

I also added electrical tape and zip ties as well.

 

After packing work trucks for years I am way bad at trying to carry the whole got damned garage with me. I've been meaning to put together a dedicated taco kit.

 

I've been slowly widdling down my truck tools and I'm hoping this will cover the bare essentials based on my previous adventures. This would have contained all the tools needed for all my previous trail fixes.

 

Shit if you think about it they weigh a lot. I've known I'm over 6000 or right there at it.

Just do the comparison of parts stock front struts vs how heavy kings are. Your HH vs the stock shackle hangers. Those 1-2 lbs here and there all add up.
