Swapped out my Dobinsons and ICONs for Bilstein B8's and no more harsh bumps. Definitely a bit softer. Will be swapping the t-bars soon and expect it to only get better. No pic but we all know what Bilsteins look like HAHA

What t bars are you swapping in and out? I’ve got iron man t bars and even with a heavy front it still rides rough. Have Dobinsons mra shocks so thinking of going down to OME t bars.

Currently loving the the ride and off road balance the Slee shocks and Bilstein B8's are giving me. I want a tad more height in the rear so I am going to throw some 30mm spacers in the rear. That way when I am loaded or towing it will be perfect.

190K Oil change and OEM filter

Picked up a really nice 16' car hauler for decent coin this past weekend to pull the 40. At one time was a former MUD member's. This trailer has seen some TLCA events. Hopefully brings me good cruiser carma...

195K - oil change and filter. Grease drive shafts

Swapped out my PS reservoir and hoses

 

[Land Shark]

Noticed oil on my lower A arm. Went looking and oil coming from DS valve cover. Put together several extensions and small ratchet to reach the bolts and none of the bolts were tight. Snugged them up. But will go back in later with a torque wrench. Seemed odd

 

[Land Shark]

197K miles

Replaced the DS valve cover gasket and the PCV and air hose with hood. Retorqued the PS bolts.

Retorqued spark plugs all but one was loose. Looking back at my records it had been a year since I had torqed them. Will be looking at them a bit more frequently.

Installed the LUTZ speedo correction.

Drain and fill of the trans pan. 2.75 quarts.

 

[Land Shark]

This was the original (to me) info on my spark plugs when I bought the truck. Around 175k. Then at 197k all but 1 were loose. I did torque them to 13 ft lbs originally but this time went with 18 ft lbs

This was the

original info on my spark plugs from April of 2023. One bad coil
