transfer case and front diff wiring running to the cab...

almost done and it starts raining.

 

I almost started one today...but my ass was lazy...lol I actually took off from work today after the 10 hours yesterday putting on the suspension at Ivens...my ass was dragging! Iven and I went lug shopping today at Ron's and they didn't have squat. Gotta order them online... But yeah...prob start a build page this week

I left mine at 4 which is the factory setting all day and rode over to Kailua. Seems like a good setting, but I haven't gone softer or harder yet. Prob set them higher tomorrow on my way to work and see how it feels. I have to say it's amazing over the ride of the spacers. My steering use to feel loose and the truck felt like it wandered when driving on the freeway. Now...rock freaking solid and no play or wandering what so ever! Could be the fact that the new UCA is giving me a more solid OEM feel again. Alignment scheduled for this Friday, so it can only get better

 

Bro...you're jamming on that project! When's it gonna be 4wd full Up?

 

That's how my truck felt after I installed the Icon UCA's. The added caster makes it feel like that.

 

Not raining in ewa

 

How she's sitting now @Ivens

 

I finally got my full size spare. .....That takes up a whole lot of room in my bed.. lol

 

Nice!

I pondered the moment that I would need to put on my OEM spare and how that was gonna work out in an emergency...lol I just hate to fill my bed with a full size spare though and give up my space if needed...

 

An 285 can fit in the stock location

 

If I strap it to the front of the bed next to the cab then it's not bad but my wife is using the truck this week and she doesn't like not being able to see out of the back so I strapped it flat. I'll figure out a way to mount that sucker out of the way soon I hope.

 

Take out your spare tire and look up there is two tabs just use a hammer and pound those up and your 285 will fit.

 

I might be trying that this weekend. I dont know how nicely the rim would hold up under there though.

 

Holds mine just fine.

 

Did you have to use the BFH?

 

Yup. Tried using my cuttin wheel but ran out of disc so just used a big sledge hammer.

 

You were in kailua? you could have stopped by

got the harness all cleaned up going into the firewall, used the existing grommet and secured it with some aerospace grade 732 sealant



just need to clean up the mess under here, move some wires around on the ECU plugs, run 2 wires to the dash for 4wd and 4lo indication and run the wire for the switch...hoping to finish up on Friday after work.

the rain never bothered me anyway.

 

I have a BFH....lol

 

Should I just cut the tabs off?

 

this forum is better then the korean soap operas
