    With all the work you do to your truck, plugs should be relatively easy.

    BTW, love looking at both our sig pics. CO FTW!

    Most of the work I do on my truck involves $5 cans of spray paint :eek:

    And yes... CO FTMFW!

    Have a good friend who lives up in Steamboat. I get up there about twice a year. Love it up there.

    Not really today but in the past week or so...

    Welded on a brace to tie the front of the frame together. This will be the mounting point for a future bumper that I'm going to build. It also has mounting points on the bottom for my budbuilts.

    [​IMG]

    Then I finally got my addicted sliders welded on...love my new Hobart 187.

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Mocked up a design for my high clearance rear bumper just using rough measurements. I'll tweak it as I'm building it

    [​IMG]

    Then I went and bashed on my "new" budbuilts and sliders

    I've been meaning to put a thread together. I'll have to do that soon now that I have enough stuff done to constitute one.

    Well I didn't have any trouble with bouncing/vibration... but putting in the diff drop helped. Don't drop your CB, it'll probably break :D Do you have a manual? That would put you at 3rd gear and low 5th/high 4th, might be a gearing/transmission problem? I don't know I'm just giving my best guess. From what I've heard you don't know your CV angle sucks until BAM! You blow a boot, grease going everywhere and you just look at it and go fuuuu_77a9f09d7157cc1c6f2532031ffb4ad41ee4ba7b.jpg

    One thing I noticed about the sway bar disconnect is it makes my Taco lean even worse. Really need to take it in and get the driver side spacer installed!

    Sounds like a trip for me this summer

    edit: upon further review on traildamage.com I think there's a couple of spots there that wag their finger at me....

    You got it backward.

    Too much lift can cause that bouncy feel and bad axle angles. Lets see pics of your axles.

    Not today, but went camping the other day and then on the way back home I wheeled it down an old dirt road thats used to service power lines. Pretty mild stuff but still fun. I used it as a test for my grey wire mod I did over the winter. Locked 2WD got me through the entire trail. Even over a few very steep/loose rocky parts. I'm impressed.
