I purchased it in 2014 and maintained it regularly since. Recent inspection report attached.
No accidents. No rust. No smoking.
Drives great super quick off the line (relatively speaking), sounds great, looks great, always a conversation starter.
I'm the second BC owner. Selling it because I no...
This sounds very likely. It only started when the Robison coils went in. I'll have a good look round there when I get it off the ground.
Btw, you have sexy looking axles. Wish mine were like that.
I'll check it out. Thank you!
I've wiggled everything around in there, but its always been while the truck is on the ground. I bet if I let the axle fully droop, it was be much more informative.
Here are a couple other pics of the front end setup.
Its definitely not a sway bar bushing (there is no front sway bar).
All the rod ends drag and tie rod have been replaced within 6 months.
Thanks again for the perspectives.

Will check there too. Thanks! It (sound) only seems to happen on the driver (right hand drive) side. Either its because its steering related or its just closer to me and I can hear it!
Since replacing my aged OME suspension with new coils, I've heard a clunking sound when I encounter particular types of bumps. I've checked and wiggled everything in the front end. My thinking is that the geometry on the drag arm end and pitman is off - as a result the rod end whacks the pitman...
Believe so! It its a factory winch that once had a factory bumber. It tucks up really nicely between the frame rails, unlike after market bumers and winches that are "out front".
You are mostly correct! I never had the original bumper so I cant say from direct experience. However, upon looking closer, there is 1 piece one would need to make it work with a US bumper. I've indicated the piece in the attached photo (in blue). The part holds the fairlead. I am otpimistic...
Selling my fully functional 12v Factory winch from my HDJ81 - winch works perfectly and only removed it because it didnt fit my new, very low profile bumper. All components required for use are included: winch (obviously), the contoller and carry case, the electrical relays (if you want them)...
