    I like the way the pipe cap/diff cover came out. Nice work on that. :cheers:

    I've seen that video before and I actually think it's part of a smear campaign by the air locker makers. I think also that Eaton/Harrop took so much of the locker business from ARB, and minor players like TJM that they had to introduce doubt and fear into the buying public. In use, the Harrops...

    By their nature, they are activated with rotation driving the pins and activating the locker. But, just like arb, when there is a bunch of pressure on them when bound up they don't unlock. Never been an issue and the 60 I just had at Rubicon has a rear Harrop. No issues as usual. I've been...

    Yep, that's the tree. The trail can be done in a day but that's a boat load of work. 2 days is better, 3-4 days even better so you can camp more than 1 night in a single spot. Saturday to Wednesday was nice and relaxing and we didn't break anything significant. That really is epic carnage...

    I was on the Rubicon that same time frame (started Saturday and finished Wednesday) and we should have crossed paths. Maybe you went by me when we were camped at Spider lake, which is off the trail a bit. Otherwise, I don't see how we missed you. How did the climb off the slabs go for you...

    So why didn't you use 6 stud knuckles? Way better in my experience with much stronger components. And Heims? You're going to be replacing a lot of steering components yearly. Good choice on the 300m RCV stuff though. I've been running Longfields/RCVs for 10 years with no breakage.

    While you may laugh about the legality of this, but if (god forbid) you are in an accident, you will be automatically liable due to illegal steering. Where as parts that are heavier duty than stock, and thus an upgrade, at least have some argument and wiggle room. I've never used Heims, but...

    Not sure that Heims are street legal. Agree about the double shear thing. I'd worry about steering a street truck at speed in single shear. I have had very good luck with Chevy 1 ton TREs from Moog. But thinking outside the box is cool. Looking forward to the final design.

    Are you using a heim joint at the pittman arm? If so, why? Why not taper it for a GM 1 ton? Maybe I missed something in the last 63 pages!

    Hoops just look cleaner to me. Shock towers are perfectly functional. Anyway, excuse the garage dirt. These are new and never installed.

    Matt-I have some really, really, nice Ford style shock mounts. Longer than usual that were custom made about 10 years ago but never installed. Let me know. If you've already got some, then never mind. But having done this before x2, on balance I like shock hoops better and it isn't much more...

    Your solution looks good. I ran the lines over the springs in 2 spring overs, just because of concern for damage, and fortunately, I've never had any. Carry some brake lines in generic lengths, and any damage in the wild, you can repair easily. I keep pre-made lines installed on my headliner...

    You have a lot of different DNA in that bastard. Clever solution.

    Motor looks great. I can't wait for @FJ60Cam to make his west coast move.

    Yes. The larger bolt up front

    Just curious-are the front bolts 9/16 or 5/8? Newer ones have 5/8 front bolts I believe. My springs are from 2007 and have the larger bolts for instance.

    Just for reference, what year did your springs come from?

    Whats the story with those wheels? Looks like house paint. I mean I know it's Florida, but even so, that was never a good choice.

    Highly recommend you keep the overloads. They really help to prevent spring wrap and you in the end will want the extra weight carrying. Infact, I have considered adding an extra leaf to mine. And I think the passenger side needs more dents.
