    Just starting...
    Glad to see there is someone who takes a Sport off road. I was beginning to think no one ever did. If that mud hole is what it takes to get stuck, maybe the LSD is not quite as bad as an open diff.

    The 85,000 mi maintenance comments are not helpful though. I will be there by the end of the month...

    Nice job on the truck!

    Quite a few of us take the sports off road here :) The LSD does just fine for a lot of stuff.

    do you mean the 90 k maint? If you have any questions I have done it on a few trucks and can probably answer them :)

    Thanks!

    Anna when I give up your spare, would you like mine as well?
    Also, I hear you're in need of a mirror, I'm also not putting that back on.

    Hmmm. I am not sure what i would do with two spares :( if you have a reason for giving it up then possibly

    Andddd. Im assuming you mean rear view? With backup camera? If so then i was planning on running it to a touch screen but that is a ways out in the build and a rear view would be easier andddd long story short yes :). What do ya want for it?

    I've gotta get this suspension swapped over to fir the new tires so I can give everyone theirs back. Got my new top hats from BAMF the other day so now I'm waiting on nothing but help. Trying to recruit some folks so we can potentially do the front and rear at the same time.

    I have had a little experience in doing front and rears ;)

    Let me know when. The more notice I have the less like I will have prior engagements :)

    You have a place to do this? I can fit a taco in my garage.. but with my workbench I have the front bumper touching the bench and about 1 inch to the garage door.... Ok for some purposes but I don't wanna jack a truck in there.

    Just ordered some superbumps for the front :D

    The stock bumps have been driving me crazy while off road... so harsh. I feel like I am hurting my truck every time I hit them. :(

    Got my superbumps on and got a chance to test them out.

    Install was more of a pain in the ass than was really needed. Old bumps came off no problem. New ones... the allen wrench was a pain. I ended up cutting it 3 times (didn't want it to be too short!) before I got it just right. However, only took about 25 min total to put the new bumps on.

    Stock vs superbump

    Installed!

    Took the truck out to play in the snow and could tell a difference right away. Overall, very pleased and recommend them to anyone tired of the jarring on the trail from the stock bumps!

    Well, I came home Wednesday and my new duratracs were sitting on my porch! wasn't expecting them till saturday. :D (Amazon still does free shipping to AK :D Even on oversize I guess!!) No one had 285/70/17 duratracs local :(

    So I rolled 'em in the house to chill for a day since no where was open on thanksgiving. Loaded them up and got them mounted up this morning. Had them check the alignment while the truck was in and I guess that is still lookin good.

    Pics :D

    Old next to the new
