Long Time Lurker, Barcelona Red DC Sport 4x4

any updates on your truck? cv's still doing ok?

 

^^
@Tacomatrd2010: So far so good. Haven't really driven it alot lately... been away with work. I am planning on getting some new UCA's for it, prbly the Camburg non uniball ones (saves almost $300) but haven't pulled the trigger yet. My uncle said he noticed that one day it was sitting in the carport and that the tire was muddy except for the insides of the fronts. So I think that the castor is still a little off hence wanting the new UCA's. I am thinking hard about removing the spacers when I get them and that will help with the CV's, but then I'll probably have to do some trimming to help with rubbing.

We will see.

btw, I like your avatar pic. Can't wait till I can get my ARB.

 

Good to see you back on TW Micah!

 

Never left Bowen, just haven't had much to say. Are you coming to Sicily next weekend (this would be May 4th - 6th)?

 

So the wife and I finally got the camper I was talking about. It is the reason I chose to go with the full Dakar leaf pack with the heavy add-a-leaf. I am glad I did. We picked up a 2009 Coleman E3 from a dealer in Arkansas last weekend. It has the rack on front for loading a four wheeler or other toys. Even with out anything on the rack the ride was smooth and steady, but it did lift the front of the truck a little, so can't wait until we have funds for the ARB and winch to hold down that end. We'll see how bad it is when I add my bike to it- might have to go with a weight distributing hitch or something. Anyway, on to the pics. We will have a break in camping trip soon and I'll report on how it went.

BTW, the little blue Toy in the background of the last pic is my uncles truck that I learned to drive in when I was 6. It's a 1981 (same as me) and still runs- in all original factory condition.

 

Looks good Micah, congrats on the new trailer! Now you can wheel in style on the next Sicily trip

 

I get every time I see it
