FS: Dobinsons 2” springs. I ran these on my 80 for about a month and decided to move to a 3” spring. Some paint missing on the fronts where they rubbed my Timbren bump stops, otherwise in great shape. Dobinsons C59-220V 2.0″ Lift Progressive Rate with 0-110LBS Load C59-223V – 1.75″ lift with...

I appreciate all the suggestions and ideas here. I could probably continue to “get by” with the stock alt, but went ahead and ordered a 150a kit from @landtank Hand throttle is on order as well. This way the kids can play with the window switches and we can run the AC all day while moving...

Just did that actually and hoped it would help, but still the same.

Lower than 12V with high electrical demand while moving slowly and/or at low RPM. Slow windows after new runs and motors. Pull the window switch and watch the meter drop 2-3V. Maybe I’m being too picky?

@landtank ok, so maybe we are better off bumping up all together rather than overdriving the stock alternator. With your math and what the upgraded alternator will do, we would be getting over the max stock alternator's amperage at "trail speed", which is what I am looking for. I know much of...

Looking at options to increase amperage at low (trail speed) RPM. A 140-150A alternator will help at higher RPM, but still doesn’t accomplish much more than the stock 80 alternator at idle or low revs. It’s getting hot here in the south already and I want to run my lights, blower in hi, aux fan...

Made quick work of a bushing refresh with @TRAIL TAILOR bushing presses and this 50-ton monster.

torque the panhard bolts to 127 ft-lb

Decided the play dress up and ditch the side steps. Not sure how long it will last with two little ones getting up and down, but I like the way it looks.

Still looking for these? I am about to remove a set and will be posting them for sale.

I am looking for real world advice on which variant to order before clicking the button. I just lifted my truck with OME 851 + 30mm spring packer (860’s out back). This netted a ~23” hub to fender measurement with bumper, winch, etc., so 2.5”-3” lift. Below was my alignment printout after the...

Want to see the Slee fairlead by itself?

Fixed the rear panhard. This @eimkeith bracket is top notch. Only had TIG on hand, had to do some yoga to get a good line up!
