an immaculate 2006? 100 series with about 80k miles went down the same trail and rolled through with a helluva lot more body damage than everyone on the trail. bashed in driver side rear wheel well ( between the door and the wheel well ) pretty good, and got a bunch of rock rash on the fenders. Lets just say, its no longer immaculate

I think you'll be happy with the AllPro springs, I just recently swapped in their 6" rear lift and am really happy with them. Since they flex so well off road, I was expecting more body roll and sway when cornering on the hwy, but I was surprised at how well they handle!
Look forward to your wheeling pics!

.....Anyway, I'd be interested to know what type of way you carry back there Michael. I carry a spare and limited tools, recovery gear and air supply hardware for my onboard air... Oh yeah, and the 10 inch sub box which doesn't weigh much. Just removing around 200 pounds worth of miscellaneous stuff and the roof rack which is around 80 with all the lights, the difference in stability was definitely noticeable... but I would still rather have more droop and the bumps keeping me up right then massive flex both ways...

Finally got all of my gauges working correctly. It took me a bit to get them all setup because I couldn't figure out what size the threads going into my block were. ( they're 1/8 BSPT ) So ordered a 1/8 bspt male to 1/8 NPT adapter. with a 1/8 npt TEE with a male, female and one female BSPT for the stock oil pressure sender. put it all together and it worked. no leaks, and both oil pressure gauges work flawlessly.

Couple updates.
Ordered a new MC 1200lb clutch. ( damn they're a pain to get ahold of nowadays. )
The power steering pump has been giving me a little whine. So I decided to drain the fluid and what I found was kinda misleading...
Yay for power steering fluid in a pump that uses ATF... Anywho, swapped it to ATF. no leaks, no whine, no problems.

Thoroughly disappointed right now. I had the top end done by the same shop that did my top end on the 92 ( no idea why I even went back there ) and I fired the truck up this morning and it spit white smoke out. So I'm like what the hell, maybe its condensation. Go back inside to get ready for work, come back out ( sitting at about 160 degrees now ) and rev it a little, more white smoke. Truck's running just fine, no miss, no rough idle. I drive it to work. I get to work ( 185 degrees now ) and rev it. More white smoke and do some more "what the hell" thinking. I go inside, grab a 8.5x11 paper, put it in front of the exhaust pipe, let it run for a few seconds, turn it off and smell it. Sweet coolant smell... Lovely. Mind you, I have about 6k miles on a brand new top end. I'm waiting on the temp to cool down and i'll go outside and check everything. Hopefully the 3vz isn't ready to give up the ghost! guess we'll find out.
