Can I reply to my own post?
Hah. So I sold this truck, then immediately regretted it. Life got in the way. Now I have a new 80. Still a 94.
Love these Nito's that the PO put on them. This thing is just a much of a beast as what I'd built...
Pros: they're great if you're an organized person.
Cons: if you aren't, your cargo area just got smaller and heavier.
I've been living with a set since I bought my truck and honestly, they aren't my jam. Things just don't go back into them...

I replaced my front sway bar...
A quick trip to Moab. Bad weather made for not as much wheeling as hoped. We started up Moab Rim but called it when the clouds started to look scary (and good thing we did it rained hard). We ended up doing Hells Revenage. Can't have a bad...
I rescued one myself 😂It was a tuff rescue trying to pull 7k up the hill with the transmission in park and the parking brake set. The nannies would not release them and the driver neglected to tell me 😡 until after I added a snatch block then a...
