None of that is too bad really. With the exceptions being pulling out the front clamshell, and flush/fill tranny fluid. Do you have a technique for that last one? Checking the level really sucks too.

 

Pushed that little truck as far as i could. Gave her hell a few good times, went a good amount of places like "how did you get back here" Always had levi leading and gid following so that helped keep down on the worry a lot. Does take some skill to wheel that little turd, kerley knows but even he is locked and a prerunner model.

This 4x4 shit. Its cheatin. God i love 4 lo. Wish the 5 lugger could have felt like that.

 

Either is fine. Working weekends but getting off pretty early.

 

Read through the DIY threads and I am going with THIS method.

 

Busy busy. I've got my 60k maintenance coming up in the next week or so. Currently debating how much of what the manual recommends that I'm actually gonna do lol

 

John said something about buying dinner, sounds good to me...

 

I'm due for my 60k. And my 90k. Sitting on 110k now

 

You're damn right I do

 

Is it at least 4x4 Zack?

 

Seems legit. Better than what I did with a gravity/siphon feed for sure.

Diffs? Where he's going, he doesn't need diffs. One will get you to the parking lot.

 

You're my inspiration lmao

 

Nailed it!

 

You're gonna do all that in one day by yourself? I don't believe you ...

 

Who's Zack?

 

They call it pulling a Gid HAHA

No, probably not

 

@allmotorrex @Robertocritser

what's a good mileage timeframe to rebuild shocks? i've got about 20k on them now, about 1 year, feel/look fine, no leaks, only been off road a handful of times...

edit: or anyone else who know's enough is welcome to chime in...

 

i'm coming up on 60k service. probably going to do:
engine, tranny, diffs, transfer case oils
oil, intake, cabin filters
grease driveshaft, clean my balls, the usual stuff...

anything i'm forgetting there?

i also have parts laying in my garage for:
push button panel installed behind auto shifter
wiring harness for that ^
spindles
spacers
extra reverse lights, installed in factory bumper
block heater
auto vent shades
i'm sure i'm forgetting something else...

still need to buy:
total chaos alignment tab gussets
exhaust reroute
thinking about taking advantage of pelfreybilt's sale but its not really a good time...

going to make:
aluminum bed reinforcements for by the tailgate and in the front corners
thinking about making vs buying sliders... my friend has a tube bender

and i just got a new job, leaving this one after next week... new one starts in cincinnati on the 28th... so i need to find a place to rent and also

 

I've looked around wondering the same thing. Looks like 50k is reasonable unless you feel the ride suffering. One guy had 80k on some icon 2.0 resi rears and thought it was ok even with lots of offroad time in it.

I'm at 20k on king fronts and leaning toward trying for ~60k since i do mostly hwy.

 

most of mine is highway too, but i want to make sure i'm taking proper care of my investment!! just curious what you guys thought. i've heard lots of numbers thrown around... 5k offroad miles, up to 50-60k general/total miles like you just mentioned

 

If the stars align, I'll come down and help. Annie is being needy af lately, might give her the boot over that nonsense.

I got truck shit to do woman!
