Noise maker, good sound but not too loud:
Trip to pismo beach went swimmingly, almost. Sand storm right as we were setting up tents prevented us from camping so we rented a beach house.
Girls and their selfies.. Get outta the way!!
did a trip to sierra national forest and didn't get any pics except this one:
Then came tahoe. snow wheeling in virgin powder, reeeeaaaalll fun:
Fabbed up some nice gussets outta 3/16 mild steel. The sliders didn't seem strong enough by themselves.
VERY STRONG NOW!!
Decided to do a clutch while it was on the rack. Along with all fluids and rear diff service. ARB was taking a long time to lock up. Turns out the o-rings failed and the air line was full of oil. Got some new ones in there and works like a charm now.
Went to visit a friend in Portland OR, hit up browns camp for some guns and wheeling.
thats it for now!

Hey awesome truck man! I have a 99 limited and I was looking into almost the exact same upgrades as you. If you wouldn't mind sharing, how much was the toytec lift. And were the rims and tires only 600?

tires were $600 mounted and balanced, wheels were like $60-$70 each
lift was around $1600 with all brake lines, diff drop kit and pan hard extension.
Nice! And everything's been good to you? No problems with anything?
Clutch would smell pretty bad when slipped on the trail or towing my boat, arb o-ring failed but not catastrophic, locker solenoid leaks occasionally, but other than that not a problem in the world. I need to take out and brake more stuff for an excuse to upgrade more components but she never ceases to amazing every time I test her.
Went to Hollister this weekend, waiting for Scotty from Addicted Offroad to get back from Moab so he can build me some bumpers... I definitely needed them this weekend. Had to use my spare tire to get out of a hole. That ditch took me about 45 mins to get through. Really fun day.
My bumpers showed up today, after 8 miserable weeks of being completely left out of the loop. Thanks to Scotty from Addicted Off-road for putting up with my constant emails. A little more communication would have been appreciated but they are here and they are purty.
Also have a Warn M8000 w/ synthetic rope to accompany these bad larrys.
