Spent a long weekend wandering around central Utah checking out a bunch of petroglyphs and pictographs. Absolutely love the Dobinson MRA shocks for washboard and poorly maintained dirt roads.
Chilly weekend wandering the desert, gonna move the diesel heater build up on the priority list. First real trip out with the Dobinson's MRA's, very impressed at how well they soak up the washboard between some freshly graded sections.
Installed seat heater switch guards from @cruiserpatch, coated the underside in fluid film, and put the dissent skids back on. New 285/75r16 KO2's on the gunmetal SCS F5's I've been sitting on for over a year, love the look and color contrast. Feels a bit peppier losing 7 lbs a corner and more...
Set of 5 OEM 18" wheels for 100 series or LX470 with 23 OEM lug nuts, 4 locking lug nuts and key. Some dirt, scratches, rock rash, but in decent shape overall with valve stems installed. Free for pickup, would rather not ship but will entertain on your dime.
I sourced all 4 OEM RCA and the OEM panhard bar from impex a year or so ago for ~$430 shipped, still likely a pretty cheap way to go with the strength of the dollar to the yen. Seemed easier to spend a bit more coin than to replace the bushings, YMMV.
Couldn't say no to the Exit Offroad sale and installed Dobinson's MRA on all four corners. Huge thanks to @crikeymike for confirming bushing orientation for the fronts Sunday morning! Snapped a cross-threaded hub bolt and had to run to the dealer for a replacement, but pretty painless install...
