Lambo's Daily Driver --> Trail Hunter Build (dbc trd) - Now I need a new daily...

Thanks!
That's actually the same one I was looking at getting, glad to hear its not getting moisture inside.
I thought about going with Hellas because I think round lights look better, but decided a light bar has better output for the price.
Any issues mounting it in the All Poo bumper? I've got the same one.

 

Nope, it bolts right up to the two holes in the bumper loop in the middle. You will need large fender washers if you plan on using the included hardware, though.

 

Had some fun today with a different truck... I've been seriously looking into how I could afford one...

Nice photos man!

 

Picked up a cheap Yakima Bedrock setup from Craigslist as a temporary rack for the tent. I'll be building a custom rack with my friend sometime in May but this will do for now. It came with this basket as well. I don't plan on keeping the basket but I thought it would be fun to throw on for a few extra #EAF points while I wait for the tent lol

 

Decided to ditch the Yakima bedrock setup... it was just too sketchy for my liking. The bars flexed a lot with not much weight on them. So, instead, I just picked up a one-off RCI bed rack from a local guy.

Now I'm just waiting for the tent to show up...

 

"Mounted" the rack today





Mounted it temporarily with clamps while I figure out positioning. I'm going to bolt it in so I don't have to look at these stupid clamps... Tent should be in next week-ish so I'll figure it out for good then.



Now I need rotopax and maxtrax to maximize the eaf points

 

Got a few things done today. Stopped by my buddy's shop so I could use his lift to do a tire rotation and bolt check before heading out on a trip next week.



I also finally got a round to getting my blown nitrocharger warrantied so I threw those back on.



During my bolt check, I got inspiration from @jubei to put some cross-check bolt/nut marker on all the important suspension bolts/nuts. Going to be super useful for a quick inspection to make sure nothing loosens up.



Finally, I've been chasing a new clunk that appeared recently. I thought it was the sway bar resting on the skid plate that was causing it.



So, I made a "spacer" for it. Just as a remedy until I can replace these crappy all pro offroad skid plates. I really don't like them...





However, after doing all that, I think it was a loose LCA bolt that was causing my clunk because it disappeared after tightening that bolt.

Now I'm just praying my tent comes in this week so I can go camping next weekend...

 

Got a link to that marker? I've been wanting to do this to make me do pre-trip inspections more often now that I have a full set of torque wrenches.

this is the one I used

That’s the stuff, fellas!

I’m using the blue, but I really wish I would have gone with something with higher visibility, especially when I’m checking my LBJ bolts.

 

Damnit... I just realized I forgot to check those LBJ bolts

 

Those are the ones that give me nightmares about LBJ failures!

Thankfully, once you have the torque mark on them, they’re fairly easy to verify.

 

Paid the city of Greenwood Village for a couple rolling shots

 

I believe that light is red sir

 

That's nice of them to send you high quality digital versions for the price. High value!

 

If I had Tundra brakes I probably could have comfortably stopped in time

 

Still? Do you need a hand installing/bleeding or do you just need to buy the parts?

 

I just need to buy the parts... currently planning a big refresh to do LCA bushings and steering rack bushings so I'll probably do them then. Along with a new radiator and coolant flush. Then the truck should be good for the rest of the year.
