Blasphemy

Don’t forget your post check ride re torque. I only did visuals along the way and lost a shock bolt on the rim rocker trail a 1000 miles from home.

A little blue would not hurt

I had windows down , not on anything difficult, and heard something dragging for a second. Got out to inspect and couldn’t believe it. Luckily I had just installed a few months ago so I just finagled it off and threw it in the back

Lost a bolt and a shock on the Rimrocker trail on the Utah/ Colorado border. Just installed, torqued to specification and lost after 2,000 miles. Took it off and drove back to Texas on three shocks to see about fix or replace.

Woke up in Zion National park for my 55th birthday!

Lights, brackets and Auxbeam going in before Friday trip!

Install and alignment done, waiting on Santa for rims and tires

Just finished up install, finally. Went for quick shakedown ride to get fuel and it didn’t fall apart or break anything. Have to do my adjustment on reservoirs to get it more firm and then alignment Monday morning. Have a Texas to Arizona trip in a few weeks then after I’ll look into rims and tires.

Back done, started front. Taking my time, doing energy suspension bushings on some things too.

A little hot here today, might either try tonight or tomorrow or drink tonight and try again tomorrow morning when it’s cooler. I figured the rears would be easier and then I could tackle the fronts before a shakedown ride. Supposed to be doing a local trip this weekend so I hope I can pull it off!

Dobinson’s heavy duty long travel

Anyone have any hints on getting those heavy duty rear springs in? Have panhard bar, sway bar endlinks and everything disconnected. Using jack on other side to help, spring compressor and still struggling.
