Thinking about organizing a run this weekend if my truck is done in time (it had better be). You free?

 

Well poop. Have work things this weekend.

Also, I've torn all the crap out of the passenger kick panel to run wires for front elocker. Also, also, battery is dead and charging

 

llllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeee

 

Wish I was closer!

 

Just come to Moab instead! September 5th through September 12th buddy!

 

Thats more of a possibility since my parents live there!!! I will have to see what I can do!!!!

 

Sick. I'd love to wheel with you man.

 

Very nice!!!!!!

 

Good news, I was able to get this installed

....sigh....

 

Oh yeah I forgot to mention that Cobra I installed didn't even make a month before taking a dump. Let me see how you got that one installed.

 

really? you got a lemon. i bought my cobra 18 used and its still running strong. i'm not saying its a high-quality unit, but its been good to me

 

Like this



Time will tell if it will last. I had to modify the crap out of the brackets but it's a better size dimensionally than my old Midland. Perfect SWR too

 

I can't wrap my head around how the hell that is fitting in there. It looks to be a good 1/4 fatter than my Cobra 18 but yet your trim looks the same.

 

Magic.

No trim modification required.

Also, easy access to the antenna coax fittings.

Boom.

 

Big day fellas. The steering and suspension overhaul I've been saving/planning for over 6 months is finally finished and on the truck.

11. High Steer (Marlin Crawler if it ever comes back in stock)







19. Replace terrible Pro Comp leaf springs (All-Pro Springs)







20. Replace unknown white shocks (Bilstein 5125)







21. Install long slip custom square driveline








Ground to frame measures about 26" as of right now however I have been told the springs should settle. The low profile front hanger with the 4" shackles plan worked out perfectly. The rear is higher right now but not by a lot. After I put on the rear tire carrier in the back later this week I think its going to sit perfectly. Here is the stance right now.




The only real issue was that my steering stabilizer I had did not work. I just put in an order from Marlin for one so I will get that put on later next week when I go to get my rear tire carrier. I also didn't get the bumps setup yet but will do that on Wednesday (I don't plan on wheeling between now and then). I have to give huge props to Cody at www.badlandbumpers.com he put in a 22 hour day yesterday to get my truck done on time for me to pick it up today. He went above and beyond when he built my front bumper and took it to the pinnacle this time with his dedication to his customers. If you are in need of any kind of work and you live in Washington give him a call first guys. Great prices and you can not beat the customer service.

 

 

wow you've been busy, well done! i've in the middle of doing high steer myself. those All-pro springs ride way lower than the TG stuff, i like!

 

Are you going to run a flat pitman arm? looks like your springs may hit it?

 

Yeah I'm really happy with the height. The TGs usually run 3" more than advertised I hear! I'm jealous of your 4x4 labs high steer. I just couldn't pass up the deal on the Marlin kit I found locally.


Setting up the bump stops on Thursday. Will decide then. Its looking probable though.

 

Wow, awesome progress! Nice flex pics too! You will love having hi steer! I still haven't got a steering stabilizer installed on mine, probably never will, lol, but it rides and handles pretty well without one. Are you going to cut off that torque rod bracket off the front axel?
