    yea Patrick you may be out of N2 too? I've heard they can make noises when they're too low... I just refilled mine to 170psi, we'll see how that goes, they were about 150 before.

    Mine is a 20 cubic foot. I think yours is a 40 cubic foot. I might be able to fill all 4 of my tires from empty with N2 with that 20cuf :notsure:

    haha no... I just looked it up. So 1 pound of co2 is equal to 8.741 cubic feet. So your 20 lb bottle holds ~175 cubic feet! So apples to apples here, I have an 8 lb nitrogen bottle to your 20 lb co2 bottle.

    Love this truck! I was curious if you've had any issues with clearance underneath with the crossmember and transfer case? Every now and then I drag on stuff with my crossmember and I've looked around for high clearance crossmembers and have came up short. I see you've rerouted the exhaust.. On mine the exhaust hangs just as low as the crossmember and I can't tell if you've done anything with it as well?

    Think he has a belly skid..not sure though..he will chime in soon about that. I know he rerouted the exhaust to fit his tranny skid though..i think..again..he will say.

    as for a high clearance crossmember..of coure there is no such thing. Then your T case would be expoused and you'd be hitting that haha

    you could however opt for a Fj tcase and a crawl box and clock the tcase. Then put a custom crossmember in and you'd have a "flat belly" setup. 15* clocked is usually all it takes. Then a custom belly skid an nothing would be below the frame.

    of course..thats a lot of custom work and also about 3800 bucks..haha

    Yeah, that makes sense. I was hoping someone made a high clearance cross member that way I can raise that up along with the exhaust and then have a skid plate come down just to the transfer case itself, rather the whole belly.

    Ultimately MOAR lift would fix my issue but it's a daily. May just end up with a full on crossmember/tcase belly skid plate.
