Vista,

Looks like you have the hitch pin mod in place? Am i right or not? if so, how does it work for you? I'm planning on doing the same thing.

Good catch...It does provide more flex but I can't really use it till I grind the top of the control arm where the tie-rod rubs at full compression.

oh, ok. I had that same issue with slee's plates, but i think it's because i didn't have enough lift for the plates. I have the blue bushings now and it's great.

one more question, how hard is that thing to pull out and then put back in at the end of the day? Need a hammer and a punch? or does it just slide in and out?

Sorry for the hijack.

I recommend a locking one.

I had my non-locking one stolen right off the truck.

Finally to known trails

After a year of building and dialing in the lockers and suspension, had a chance to really test my Lexus today on familiar trails.

No, he is not stradling the winch cable. Even if he was, he already has 2 kids anyway...like you said, not my nuts!

I have been impressed with the KM2's so far. They are very sticky on the rocks and did not pop any beads while running 10psi over rocks. Very pliable, see below:

Thats what I wanted to know.

The ironic thing? My 's cruiser was sitting maybe a couple dozen feet away with the same (non-locking) hitch pin and stinger in the hitch. It wasn't bothered.

So someone crawled under the truck to pull it. My guess is they saw it and thought it'd be funny (IE: kids).

From the east side of Harrison Lake in BC. Not quite as hardcore as some, but the scenery is superb.

The truck is basically stock. Can't wait to get some lift and 285s on it!

Note my dad spotting in the first shot - with his hands in his pockets!
