You know what, if you think about it, I can save some money by putting RXTs on now. Rather than trim the U-bolts for the Dakars, and have to buy another set when I do the RXTs, if I do it now...

 

Absolutely!!

Kinda like me justifying the pivot kit because I need 2 alignment tabs fixed up…

 

Superlike. My bed is totaled cause it has a bit of rust on it

 

Totaled? Pics?

 

Nope.....not any i have noticed. Just need to make sure you aim them right.

 

And here I am like "i mean I might have to replace ball joints in the front so i might as well 3 link the rear".

 

Anyone going out today ?

 

This is why you're all my kind of people hahaha

 

Sadly no

 

Mostly kidding, just overjustification to build a flatbed. But the composite is broken, dents on the tailgate, sick of breaking taillights. Tiffs on board so hopefully will start it this winter

 

Oof. God speed.

 

I’m in for your fab day. I’ll send you pics later and I’m down for whatever you want to do about it.. won’t be the pivot kit yet but maybe the gusset kit.
One tab has pretty much left the chat another is beat up.

 

Sounds to me like a flatbed is definitely in order.

 

What's this "pivot kit" I keep reading about?

Sounds good, I think we will have room for 1 more if it’s fairly simple. Lca reinforcement for both you and Brandon

 

Is it just for caster when you run bigger tires?

 

Only passenger side for me. Need 2 gussets? I’ll drop the lca out of the way… should be quick.

Basically shifts your LCAs forward up to an inch. I’m more thinking about it as a combo for tubbing for 37s.
If I have to tub anyway might as well not do it and keep the shorter wheelbase.

 

I just want to know if I can toss 34s in after that kit without a body mount relocation.... Lol

 

I did all the work and still rub on 35s, just do it.... you get used to the noises I promise
