    Okay so took it to the Big Horns last night. Was totally worth the trip no matter how short. Truck did good. However due to my new alignement which is still pulling strait and true...my wheel got pushed back even more. SO im going to have to trim my new fiber glass fenders and beat the holy hell out the fire wall.

    tent was so nice to have. i don't love the ladder tho. I think im going to shop around for a new one.

    Not having AC tho was horrible, so thats a big fix. Latch on the tire swing too. Though i found a sneaky way to keep it strapped down for now. I also want a jerry can on there bad and now a small folding table top. Ill add a lock down pin as well i think.

    the leaf packs ride like butter. makes the front seem super stiff now. However they are sagging a bit. The passenger side is bad now. I think ill add another leaf and then swap the leaf to the other side since my Wheelers driver side one is more beefy to combat the taco lean.

    I am also trying to get my hand on some quick sway bar releases. I love not having the sway bar offroad, but after driving it in the hills with the tent on, i want it back for the road.


    enjoy the pics!

    I took out what i think is the 3" adapter and figured the top male shaft would just slide into the lower female shaft but its in only 1/2"
