Just replying to say this sounds awesome, won't be around for this but wish I could come along, have fun! I just got back from a 2week trip with the main routes being through mud lakes - poison mtn - china head - Schwartz - Taseko - Chilko - Perkins Peak and back through Gang Ranch. It was...

That's me (with the snorkel) and my brother's rig! If you see a black 80 series around campus that's my other brother. Last semester at UVic for me :beer:

Leaf springs all around (TT parabolics) and yeah it for sure feels less rigid

My BJ74 only had a front sway bar, I completely removed it in July when I redid the trucks suspension. I have not noticed any difference in on road handling, although I bet that high speed emergency maneuvers probably wouldn't be as stable. Offroad the truck articulates and rides much better imo

Yeah that's exactly the reason I mounted them there, also because my power window relay is right where the speakers would have mounted up front. They would for sure sound better more forward but they honestly still sound very good where they are - much better than they did when I only had 6x9s...

It's under the passenger seat with velcro tape

Was gonna order door pods but I had everything else and was getting impatient :hillbilly: Got the new door cards, sound deadening, and speakers in yesterday and wired up to amplifier. So far I'm super happy with how it turned out

Yeah they're the new parabolics! I also installed 5.8" shackles and ended up getting cheap and longer BDS shocks to make up for the extra altitude

I had a great experience with them, this was my first time importing something this heavy but I thought the extra expenses were reasonable, Since it was an Australian product (THANK GOD) there were no tariff fees to pay - even though distributed through the USA. Just regular BC taxes. Seawings...

Back on the island from a jaunt in the East Koots, the microwave tower near Fernie had nice views

measured like this it's Front L ~ 59.5 cm Front R ~ 59.5 cm Rear L ~ 61 cm Rear R ~ 61 cm

Highly recommend, nothing but good things to say about them. I also had add a leafs on my ome set

Thanks! Yeah they’re great. Previous owner had them on the front years ago, the rear set came with the truck but were never installed until now. They work great with the parabolics The tires are 315 / 75 / R16 or 35x12.5” Only been driving with them for a couple days but initial impressions...

Refreshed the suspension on the BJ74 over the last couple days, Terrain Tamer parabolic leafs (thanks George and Roarke!), 5.8” shackles and U-bolt flip kits from MAF, & cheap and longer BDS shocks for now. I was able to clean up and reuse the caster wedges. The ride is seriously transformed...

New weatherstrip for the FRP top today.... well tomorrow, Found some minor cracks in the FRP top as I removed the old weatherstripping, nothing structural but why not make it a bit better before I seal er up again? I'm no fibreglass guy but I have repaired a few hulls and delaminated Laser...
