Mileage 229.600 Fresh Mobil 1 5w30 high mileage synthetic oil and M209-1 filter. My handbrake bell cranks are frozen so I need to deal with that before it gets cold here, otherwise, just been putting gas in it and teaching my 17 yr old to drive.

Sorry, I hadn't logged on to the MUD in a while - lots of real life things happening, many of which are good. I was running 295/70/18 tires which is really 34.5" tire. I only had to hammer in the pinch welds back and then warm and reshape the plastic cover. I also removed the washer fluid cover...

Just disconnecting the sway bar link and lower shock mount is usually enough - I disconnect one side at a time and jack up the other side of the axel to make enough room to swap out a spring.

Yes- that's usually where they leak. Spray with some brake cleaner and get it dry and then look after a few AC cycles to see if there is wetness again.

@ChroniclerCruiser - I hardly go off road, and the Nitto RGs in E rating were pretty rough riding. I have run defenders on a lot of other cars, including this very cruiser for a summer and decided that I don't need ATs. I might get a chance to do some mild off roading soon - will most likely...

I was waiting for this update. I feel your pain on the 40G tank fills. My last tank fill costed me $157 :oops:

Great set up as always! Is that a SUP board on the roof? What do you do with it at Sand Hollow?
