    I know that PITA. Same mount too. I wired the power straight to the breaker on my fuse panel but ran the compressor switch and both locker switches through the blue sea.

    Alright I'm back! Trip was a great success. Got there last night and camped with @muddog67 and @armyofsquirrels and had some drinks and hung out by the fire. This morning a lot more people showed up, and we had a total of 10 trucks to go exploring.. I'm extremely happy I had the foresight to seal the seams on my tent, because at 2am it was POURING! Didn't get a single drop of water in my tent though!! Sorry for the lack of pics, since I forgot my camera :bananadead:

    What do we have here?! Care to elaborate on the seat cover?

    First Edit: What is the pork chop platoon?

    Truck looks amazing after the lift! Glad to know you survived & were kept dry. That scenic picture looks beautiful.

    Might do the rear in the morning and maybe the front after I see how long it takes to do the AAL. On call for work so I have to work out something with my roommate for an extra vehicle nearby if I get called in.

    Thank you! I really gave it the shakedown, and it performed great and all the wheels stayed on! I call that a win.
    Do you have a 6mm wrench on hand? That's how you keep the shock from just spinning when you try and loosen it. I didn't (and wasn't trying to save the shocks) so I just took my angle grinder and ground two flat spots on the shock rod thing, and grabbed it with channel locks.

    Seat covers my wife picked up during prime day, nothing spectacular..simulated leather. Put them on to see how they will hold up, leather would have been my last choice.


    Pork Chop Platoon was a term in the old military days that was used to designate the guys on diet restriction (AKA overweight). I am an avid gamer so the clan I am a part of uses this as the clan name since we are all a little older and slightly heavier. Lots of retired, disabled and active duty military guys and gals that get together to play video games.

    August 5th we have a huge LAN party coming up in Cincinatti with a golf tourney, Reds game, raffles etc. Usually about 100 or so ppl to party for a weekend. I use the lanyard to hold my work ID.

    I'm pretty sure I have one! Do I necessarily need a torque wrench or is that just a good thing to have?

    Eh, I didn't torque anything to spec. I just got it all nice and tight. I had a bad experience in the past where I was following a torque wrench against my better judgment (it just kept getting tighter and tighter) and I sheared a bolt in half. Now I'm leery of them when they just keep tightening.

    Yeah you'll be fine. Just recheck it all after a couple hundred miles or so. I'm going to check all mine on my next day off.
