    New front and rear suspension, 883's and 5100's, also airbags. Rides smoother with all that weight i've added. Got new rear springs to put on and shackles but it's been colder than a well diggers lunchbox, so I'm waiting for at least less snow and melted water in the garage.

    I’d like one, but not for theft protection. Instead to protect from starting fires when driving over tall grass.

    Found the noise!

    20221118_113830.jpg 20221118_141206.jpg 20221118_141152.jpg

    I think my clutch needed replacing haha

    20221118_154908.jpg
    20221118_161143.jpg

    Went new everything. And while I was at it had a local shop rebuild a spare tyranny I had. Likely didn't need it but if she was coming out I didn't want to put a 360k one back in.
    New rear main also. Super easy when you are there.
    A leisure couple days.

    @Speedytech7 is there a trick to getting that slave in the fork and bolted up? I didn't release any pressure in the line. But wondering if a heavy clutch (did the lce pro) might make it a bit more difficult.

    Crack the bleeder so you can push the pin in by hand maybe, usually isn't tough though, are you sure you have the fork seated on the pivot pin entirely

    Ok I'll try that.
    Yeah I checked several times before us getting it in. Should it move by hand easily?

    You can usually compress the slave cylinder by hand if the pedal isn't depressed yes. Your clutch was pretty fubar, you might also have an over extended slave or a busted slave given the damage, may even have been the cause. Should check it, only a $15 part anyway

    Interested to see what you come up with for sure. Maybe you can add some booby traps of some sort.

    Haha just a little.
    I have a spare slave somewhere I can toss in I think.

    Yeah I can't compress the slave. Lulz
    Fork is seated correctly. Took the boot off and checked just to make sure.

    I just wiped down my dash and interior plastics started to get a layer of dust . Just about all the maintenance it needs for the upcoming winter.

    Bleeding worked. :bowdown:


    Just found hanging wires though :rofl:
    Looks like 4wd might need some repair.
    You know what removal tool it is to get out those pins to re connect it? And just when I thought everything was going smoothly haha

    Fixed the steering wheel play, hopefully. I did the tac weld mod. Should have done this along time ago. I enjoy driving it again.

    RADesigns triple sticks showed up.

    Found the front section of my Pre-Runner rear driveline under a pile of parts. My rear section was in the truck for a spare.

    New center bearing should be arriving later today. I'll replace it before I take the DL to get cut and balanced.

    Pulled the front driveline so it can be lengthened.
