    Looks damned nice, Pat! The truck is still scary looking, though.

    Does it have two UTEs?

    Only took 7 hours to get my shocks installed today. :) The additional bracket was the least of my problems. Even with the suspension drooped there were several inches of the shock that had to be compressed. Not an easy thing to do so I improvised. Put the bottom bolt through the shock so it was located, compressed it with a ratchet strap to the required height, put it in the upper mount and quickly pulled the strap out.

    That's going to be a smooth ride.
    When my rear Nitrochargers wear out I'll be looking at those

    The word 'smart' was being thrown around yesterday.
    Check this out.....
    The mounting bracket for the inline fuse is the mounting bracket from an old screen door air cylinder.
    There's a pre-existing/threaded hole by the brake fluid res.
    Perfect fit. Nice and stable. 20241001_180439.jpg

    Need to replace my 6120's up front soon and will go with OME if these rear shocks perform as well as expected.

    For some reason, this reminded me of this picture of my ex's dad, and his brothers. Not Halloween. Just brothers being brothers. :D

    What a day, work has been real BS lately and I couldn’t even leave for vacation on time. But I did get to see about 5 minutes of a mediocre sunset as I was leaving 2.5 hours behind schedule lol.

    Oh yeah I found the rain too, right on cue for my normal trips. Bayfield crew you’re welcome, I’m playing decoy and drawing the storms away from your area and they followed me. Rolled into Perrot State Park camp at 11pm and I’m going right to bed. Rain stopped now which is nice because I can keep the camper shell windows/screens open for ventilation. Feels like autumn, I love it!
