    I just started thinking about the added electrical load of the winch sitting in the garage waiting to be installed and said to myself, "You know, ..."

    And, shit, do I need an alignment.

    Yeah, I'm thinking the same before I buy any other electrical accessories.

    Heck, I still need a carrier bearing, LBJ's, outer TRE's, and maybe wheel bearings before I bother with an alignment :anonymous:

    I blame all you for wanting to upgrade my truck. I was totally ok with it before this place. Then one day like a naive fool I was looking up how to change my cv axle and stumbled across this site. It will be my undoing (financially)

    Just got my 33x10.50s ordered, now in a week or two replacing the 3" body lift with a 4crawler 1" lift and switching the 35's for the 33's

    I'm trying to hold off until my planned wrench week and I get the winch installed. Figure I don't want to do it then have the front end settle in some more. But the truck is starting to look like a foal figuring out how to stand up.

    Still trying to resist.... but resistance is futile I'm finding. Hmmmm... I think I "need" new shocks and springs... and leaf springs. And a 90k service. And ball joints and all 4 tie rod ends, and a rear axle seal, and a new cv. Oh brother

    Have you done the timing belt yet? If your at 90k then you might want to save some of that $ for the T belt change.

    Water pump too if you're doing the belt.

    The funny part is I don't have money for most of that haha! I always say 90k because when I worked at Lexus, they always called the tbelt and water pump a 90k as that's when they recommended it. Still trying to prioritize stuff though.

    That was my original plan but I wanted to make sure that I absolutely have no more rubbing issues.

    Ha good memories on that ledge.

    That was the last trail I drove before I flopped the truck. Did it at night. Was fun.
