@CondeCruiser Let's see those new stickers you got made...
Your rig is Impressive! I"m wondering how large a rig that engine could push down the road at 70mph and have enough acceleration in traffic. GM put's their 4cyl duramax in full size vans that are used by fedex. R2.8 in a sequoia size vehicle? HMMWV with R2.8 (torque and HP similar to original 6.2 NA diesel)?
Other than driving the 70 a lot over the past week to attend RoundUp 2023 ... nothing to report.
You have any leaf spring issues or is that all set? I copied your wheel and tire setup, it looks fantastic. Look forward to comparing in person next time.
No issue with breaking the leaf spring center bolt on this outing.
I enjoyed parking next to a Rolls Royce. Only in Texas do you find a Rolls (with California plates) parked on the street like a Chevy and the Rolls even has signs of mud on the tires.
Glad to hear!

What sniper kit is this? And who made your radiator?
I’ll post some info on the Sniper kit once the install is complete as it’s a custom made adapter and kit in conjunction with the Holley Sniper.
The radiator was bought off eBay. I’ve seen 2 bought and installed and they are great.

Finally got to try it out offroad. There were some issues with 4-low when I was going through it and now its working great.
What'd you have to fix?
It was oddly simple in one part. It would have trouble shifting into and out of low. I read a post about rebuilding the transfer case and buried in there and as a tip about adding a c-clip to the shifter linkage so a post wouldn’t slip and that solved part of it. The other was heating and bending the shifter back to normal. Someone along the way had bent it and both sticks hit and pop out of low into neutral if you shifted out of reverse.

I sometimes have a really hard time shifting out of 4LO to 4hi, it’s like there is a wrong load on it.
I’ve experienced that too. My old 40 and a 1st gen pickup did that. You needed to roll it back and forth to shift from low into high.
