that's awesome man, would love to see some of your work.
@chudly i have my membership at Sport Rock, come check out the gym in alexandria, i'll get you in free let me know if you'd like to climb sometimes. We have the tallest wall on the east coast, and our grades are tough. I find earth treks too soft, i can climb a full grade better at ET so i dont know if they're soft or my gym is just harder. Are you lead certified?

I’d post something here, but it’s not really appropriate.

@FxFormat never been to sport rock. Actually only ET Rockville and Columbia. I heard ET Rockville was the hardest in the area from other climber friends but I've never tried. Been meaning to check out crystal city just never find myself down there. I'll let you know! I am fairly newly lead certified
How are you liking those lights so far?

Haven't been out on the trails yet with the lights but I've turned them on in some back roads with no one else and they are bright! I do need to re-aim them however. There is a slight purple/pinkish hue with the lights. Hoping the weather warms up a bit more consistently here and I'll be able to get out onto some trails again.
^Thanks
i just ordered these lights also. waiting for them to arrive. for those recovery points in the front will those work with an arb front bumper do you think?
did you have any problems with that switch and relay you purchased? need to still get the switch and harness for the same lights.

Installed Trail Tailor extended sway bar links.
Easy installation. Just parked on a flat surface and crawled under the truck.
For the rears I had to undo the boxed in mount. (and yes salty winters here. Will get the underbody sprayed down ASAP!)
and be careful with the 2 small bolts holding each mount. They'll probably take some persuasion to get out.
Fronts. the hardest part was getting both sides into the sway bar at the same time since I was doing it by myself.

Got some new goodies but also some maintenance work needs to get done first.
Replaced steering rack with OEM purchased from McGeorge Toyota with new outer tie rods and poly bushings
Found a small tear in the CV boot right where the PFRAN clamps were clamped down. So I just decided to order an entirely new axle. still need to get around to that.
also got out in the last snow of the season in April! Getting antsy to get the CV boot fixed so I can hit the trails now that the weather is nice!

Got the truck out this weekend for a shakedown after new steering rack, bushings, and wheels. I think I need to do my ball joints now. Feeling a bit of a clicking type rattle in the steering wheel going over tough terrain.
I always wish I had a friend going with me that can take photos but alas here's a shot. I'll be posting up some more after I look through them.

Got out 3 weekends ago. Mostly a shakedown after everything. Did some fire roads and the truck was great. I'll be replacing ball joints soon. But here are some more shots. Truck is great and I love it.
Not pictured here are the drawers from cruzerdave. I haven't completely finished the carpeting for them yet.
love my camp chef stove. makes cooking at camp a breeze! I still do make food on the fire though since it's just so much more fun.
packed up and ready to go home!
also pictured are the well visors that have been discussed on this forum
they are strong and sturdy. you can see through the smoked plastic and use tape and clips
I purchased through amazon here https://amzn.to/2KB6jdx
