you will love the Trxus if you can keep them balanced. great tire. by greatest advice on the lift is even though the bolts look alike, they arent! keep the locations of them pretty well organized. i am sure you know this already but i think that is what cost Rick the most time when he was helping me... i was puting the wrong bolts in the wrong places and messing things up.

also, after a few hundred miles, go through and re-tighten everything! lots of my bolts had loosened up and you remember that one panhard one that was real bad when i lost in on the highway!

thanks for the advise pete...i will keep rick far away from my truck:D kidding kidding
 
totally cyber stalking you nate... the truck looks GREAT! i saw your facebook pics. rick, i love the short bus bumper. looks like you guys had a great day. i guess with a few competent people it takes less than 12 hours? hahahahahahahah... i am clueless enough that i actually do things wrong the first time so they have to be undone and done again, under ricks watchful eye :)
 
We had a real productive day

Nat's whole suspension which included DIY panhard joint install

Winch on Jim's truck and the panhard joints as well.

I managed to get my bumper squared away before everyone started to arrive. I'm still a little sore today.
 
Looking good Nat!
 
Looks awesome Nat! I'm still bone stock and I've had mine for almost 8 months... the 40 kept giving me that look and I couldn't cheat on her yet.

one good thing is Nat is keeping the stock bushings everywhere. Pete, you had the poly ones and a friend down in SC had a bolt hole wallow out on one of those. The poly bushings tend to transfer more force to the bolt and you need to tighten them more than if the stock bushings are used.

Pete, my best advice to you is to key one side of your truck and take a baseball bat to the other. That should take care of the first damage jitters and you can go have fun with that thing.

my :princess: would love that!

YES - the bolts do work themselves out. that reminds me, time to head under there and tighten them. always fun in a crushed stone driveway when its 102* outside.
