Coil conversion time.

Coil conversion time.

Why? He just needs a $5 center pin and probably an hour of work to have that fixed

Coil conversion time.

Adding coilovers to the 40 soon.

Drop off a truck, pick up a truck.

The pickup rolled over 220k. Still runs strong. Managed 75mph with the AC on.

I'm going to have to push off the 40s rear coilover conversions a month or two.

It looks like the leaf broke, not the center pin.


Should we install new leaf springs, or replace the broken one?

 

[The Phoenician]

Looks like the pin and the add a leaf broke.

Hunter is installing new ones, and checking our a few electrical gremlins.
I'm hopng to at least do one camping trip soon. The likelihood of going back to the Middle East is increasing.

Springs are consumable. They wear out, they break. Just new springs and roll. How old are shocks?
They are probably getting there too. How does the idea of a set of Boss Airbags sound to you?
I can't think of not having mine anymore.

The Bilsteins are still good, they were replaced a few years ago. I have boss airbags in the rear, love them.

Too bad so far away. I’ve got probably 6 spring packs out back. You would be free to pick and choose.

I appreciate it. We're just going to add another add a leaf and call it good for now.

So this is why my front locker stopped working.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Score one for Starlink? Where is this at, beautiful.

No starlink. For some reason I drove 900 miles to get away from everyone and I still managed to find 5G.

This is Alstrom Point overlooking lake Powell.

That tacoma will be getting a magnuson supercharger once I'm back from my next deployment.

Picked up an Ironman tent from Land Cruiser Specialist. Hunter helped me put it on. About to take it hunting and see how it does.

I'm waiting on another one to show up that will go on Big Red's roof for when i do cross country without the trailer. That should arrive after the new year

My new puppy chewed up the trasharoo, so I guess I'll be getting a new one soon.

 

[The Phoenician]

That be Mexico in the background where the sun is setting.

 

[klip]

Very nice! How does that trailer ride going down the road? Do you know how much that tent weighs? New puppy or new trasharoo

 

[The Phoenician]

The tent is about 160lbs. The trailer rides great. It carries all my camping gear and can ride straight doing 80mph.

New trasharoo. Too attached to the little guy now and he gets along with the older dogs, but he's so destructive still. He turned 6 months old today.
