    I like the bed rack idea too, but I fish a lot so the shell has the appeal of being able to be locked.

    I purchased a new amateur radio, a Kenwood TM-D710G which I installed in an Outback roof console.

    4wd all back together with a Max Coupler and extended tongue.

    New battery hold down, only clean thing under the hood.

    3” lift. Sway a ways 2.5 on 285 75 16 and much more
    Nice build.
    I have a quick question, When you swapped out the front manual jack shaft what did you do with top plugs and vacuum lines?

    I pulled the vacuum lines all out and I spliced a wire in the plug so the dash indicator would light up.

    I like them a lot, but they are lower then I had expected. The only thing that would make them better would be another super charger.

    I bet. Definitely makes 1st gear pretty short. I’ve never driven a 3.4 with 4.88s. Just a 2.7. Sounds like that would be pretty torque’y. Especially 4L

    So a quick story on my tongue extension for my expedition trailer. Went out a couple of weeks ago and got stuck, no 4wd. Punched a hole in the side of the trailer when I jack knifed it. So when I got home I ordered a 36" receiver extension from Amazon and a Max Coupler and put them on my trailer and truck.


    I like it!

    Were did you end up putting your second battery?
    Did you remove your supercharger?
