    Those of you running auxiliary fuse blocks, Where are you mounting all of your relays? The fuse block looks great with some circuit breakers but I feel like you need a whole separate panel for relays.

    Hard to hide those relays and wires with a blue sea box, definitely won't be a "slick" look but it'll get the job done for a lot cheaper! Nice build so far man, looking forward to what's next.

    Today was a great day until an hour ago. I got my new @allpro expo leaf springs in and love them. Only problem is I misjudged the length of my shocks like an idiot. Now I am frantically searching for shocks haha.

    I'd either go bilstein 5100's through dsm or go without shocks until you get which ever ones you want. @TacoSTIG has been running without shocks and an expo pack for god knows how long :rofl:

    Alright, Walker Evans main warehouse is in Riverside. I'm gonna call right when they open and see if they have their 2.5" extended travel shocks that I can swing by and grab. I'm willing to bet they do!

    I thought what you had on there were 5100s?
    Or do you mean just 5100s with 3-4" extensions instead of the 0-1" you have on?

    I have the ones for 1.5" of lift so you'd be fine with an AAL with them like my old set up. I thought I had the ones for 3" of lift but I was wrong. Looks like you'll be getting new shocks early though Micah. Running out to see if I can get some on Monday morning. Going to big bear on Tuesday so I'm hoping.

    Woo hoo! I think Im going to try to go to Toyota on Monday and see if they will do the rear TSB.
    I'll be driving down to Whittier tomorrow, probably around mid morning/noon. I'll keep in touch and maybe we can see where your at with everything when I get down there.
    Do you have pics of the springs?!

    Didn't take any yet. I was too crazy running around searching for shocks to make it driveable. It's in my dads friends shop who was helping me bust those volts we couldn't get. Just left it there since we couldn't get it fully driveable. Plan is to go right when Walker Evans opens, grab shocks, come back down and install them. I'm really hoping that their headquarters keeps a stock of their shocks. Do you think they would?

    If not, I'll buy some 5100 extended travel from 4wp until I can afford the WEs.

    The springs have so much flex though. We were drooping it out on the jack and that thing hangs the tires nicely. The new brake lines are sweet too.
