Well well well plugs replaced tacoTuesday

 

I don't think anything can crush Venice, she's like a liquid. Milo.... Maybe

 

New grill , filler, & marker lights & my 33" light bar in the front valence

 

No retrofits though! @LSC15

 

She needs some

 

Fixed. I apologize

 

What's your suspension setup in the back? With all that weight, I'm surprised by the amount of lift you still have. (And curious, now that I'm more regularly carrying around a few hundred pounds)

 

Painted my sliders. One day they'll actually be on the truck.


Also ordered my 33x10.5 KM2s

 

Alcans, it looks like at has my rake than it really does because I'm on a slight incline.

But they arent compressed that much really.

 

Bonus, $2 off per qt:

Funny! My lab would love for me to do this for him.

 

Was thinking, what if you attached the seat more to the rear about a foot or so. That way you still have the seat for a passenger. My kid would love this. The wife, not so much.

Good thing we also have a 4runner where we all fit comfortably.

 

same

 

Did you get them direct or did you get them when Wheelers used to have them? And, how much extra weight are they rated for?

 

Yep, leaves plenty of leg room

 

Made some more progress after work today and got most of the rear parts installed. Dakars, new spring bushings, extended brake line, u-bolt flip plates/u-bolts, and got the rear tires and wheels on and put it back on the ground on its own weight!




Still need to weld the new lower shock mounts on, install the raised LBPV bracket and Wheelers super bumps. After that it needs brake fluid and bleed the brakes and it should be good to drive again.



Obviously rear is a bit higher than the front right now, no weight on/in the rear at all and new leaf springs, but happy with it for now, once I get the rest of the parts/weight on the rear I'll see where it ends up and adjust the front accordingly to get the stance/rake correct.

 

I got them straight from them last August. I told them I wanted plus 200#, I don't know what their standard weight was but these are definitely pretty heavy duty.

 

Made another video, this was just a night trip so we didn't get to go that far before we had to go back home. We will go back and make it to the wrecked B29 in a few weeks though! That should be super cool with drone footage hopefully!

I couldn't watch it with the volume up.

Does every video use the same kitschy music?

Otherwise, great vid and looking forward to the next vid.
