    Hello friends! Been out of the house alot.
    Took a trip with the friends camping at slick rock 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately 1 day before these bad boys showed up to the house.
    IMG_4418.jpg
    Still haven't managed to get them on but They'll be on for my next trip up camping at the end of the month. My leafs came with my u bolt flip and carrier bearing drop kit. Unfortunately summer is over in a week so a shock relocate is going to take some time. Im going to be looking for some new to me 5100s to replace the toasted ones I have on currently.
    I was also influenced to grab a plano case to load spare parts.
    IMG_4417.jpg
    And heres what Ive been doing on my other free days:D
    IMG_4419.PNG.jpg

    Nice Plano! And I want a water motorcycle so bad. Though I need to fix my actual motorcycle first.

    Boatercycles are the best! But im biased. I was an accident prone child so I was banned from things with 2 wheels, this is how I get my adrenaline fix ever since!

    Subscribed! Stalking all the 35's builds. The trimmed fender flares are so clean. Nice work.

    Old post, but... I thought the same thing. I found an article yesterday explaining the same process you describe. Pretty sure I'll give that a go.

    Dying to see how the SC does with the 35s and 5.29s! That’s a long term goal of mine. Rob’s running the auto, but whatever.

    Heres what ive been up to
    Electrical installs/ organizing
    857335B3-1920-4C43-B2D5-2CBD325D9796.jpg
    -Winch box bracket made for engine bay currently cutting wires to power it up (finally).
    -Intalling horns for the first time since ive owned the truck, P/O had a broken air horn I threw away at the start
    -Bussman box and paranoid fab bracket going in. All weather pack connectors to link accesory harnesses with box
    -The first of two or three switch panel & harnesses going into the cab. Cutting up a bracket to keep this one hidden in the glovebox
    -Also new headunit and amp going in to get more out of the awesome speakers I installed a few years ago
    64C64B3F-C45E-44AC-8723-2861BF6EC1ED.jpg
    Lastly: tore out my carpet to hunt for mold smell.
    Turns out both of my rear side windows have leaks and (Really happy about this) NOT MY FIREWALL TUBS! :bananadance::dancingbacon:
    So carpets getting a full scrub and cleanse and im working on sealing the windows better

    Both my side windows leak too, I've replaced the latches thinking it may not have enough pressure. I think my next step is new gasket molding. Curious what you find out.

    Have the same leaks. This is what lead to my ripping carpet out and going vinyl.
