Brians F/R Locked Long Travel Camping and Overland Build

How did you like the fire pit? Need something more compact than my big washer tub

 

Its been awesome, no complaints and is high quality. Used it about 4 times now and seems to be holding up just fine. Very easy to clean up and pack away.

 

Great! Is it an Amazon special, or...??? Might try it out

 

yes lol, this is the one i have

$140 CAMPINGMOON Portable Stainless Steel Wood Burning Grill and Fire Pit 20" with Carrying Bag MT-055

https://www.amazon.com/CAMPINGMOON-Portable-Stainless-Burning-Carrying/dp/B08PYQXBH2?ref_=ast_sto_dp. Its the largest one they have. Looks to be out of stock right now.

 

Moved on up to 35’s

 

Looks good I hope those milestars do good I’ve wanted to try them, what gears do you have and how’s the difference with the 35?

 

I have 5.29. They ride great. A lot better than my kumho. But im pretty sure that's because these are d load and not E load. Also these are lighter lol. Hard to believe a 35 would be lighter than a 33. That being said they feel almost identical to the 33.

 

What do you mean they feel almost identical? From a power required standpoint? I’ve avoided 35’s because 4-banger life. 33’s are hard enough to turn up even the small hills around here (and it’s any even very hilly in MD)

 

yes, power required. The tires are lighter than the 33 that i had on there but i know thats only part of the equation but still helps. Merging into traffic, overall feel, etc. Might be slightly worse but really not enough for me to tell. Ill report back when i have more seat time. So far its been much better than i thought tbh. I was afraid as well, I'm getting married Friday,we are using my truck as send off car and wanted a BA look for the truck so i just went for it. Glad i did haha.

 

Also i have an extra set of tires in my bed and one 35 in my backseat so it could just be that weight . That still needs to come off truck before i can give an accurate assessment.

 

I thought you had 5.29 if I ever get around the the rc that was what I was gonna regear to, I wonder if they make a 33 that’s d range and lighter?

 

Lots of stuff done. Adjusted my spc arms and lower cams to help with 35’s. Absolutely 0 rubbing on road and we will see what still needs to be adjusted for Offroad. Before and after pics below on adjustments.

and some pics….!

 

Looking good Brian

 

Thanks bud, some guy about 30 min from me has a URD SC for sale lol..... I was like what the hell is the chance of that.

 

Definitely not a common occurence for the 2TR. Id be a little weary of buying used though. Rotrex’s dont have the greatest track record lol

 

Hes asking too much anyways lol.

 

Building a set of rock sliders for a buddy!

 

Relocated the Resi for 35’s they were touching them at full lock with body roll

 

milestars eat! I was super impressed with them. Great grip. Got to fully flex out suspension and rub ever so slightly in front. Should be easy to massage. Very happy. Back I will need to trim fender and maybe add a small spacer as I was rubbing slightly on shock. Pics are fully flexed out.

 

Also did some wheeling!
