Why

did you have to hack up the arb?

My ARB was the non-winch version. Got to remove metal and install a winch mount therein if ya want a winch and don't want to pony up the $$$ for a winch-ready version
 
Still running around Canyonlands area. BLM roads forever. The wind just kicked up but no rain.

dude your killing it, Im gonna have to play catch up big time, But Im already playing now. trucks been on stands for 4 days never been down that long. but ups keeps showing up so that helps.
 
finally got my escape gear dash cover. looks like great quality. I ordered the charcoal and expected it to be...charcoal like in all the pictures and it looks almost like a dark brick like color.. Maybe it was the lighting.. 36 days from order to in my hands.
did you order from equipt1? he was pretty quick when I got mine.
 
Installed my OEM Quad head light assembly's with J.W Speaker Heated LED lights in the outboard and cheapo Amazon LEDs in the inboard last night after work and adjusted them this morning.. Much better!!!
These pics are just Low beam, I have them configured to run 4 low beams. The center strip of the inboard lights are low beam, the full inboard LED lights up when switched to brights.

are the lcp9 worth it? Im done with overheads but would like a set of flamethrowers.
 
The LP9's are some SERIOUS lights.. I dig em! I really enjoy that they are dual High/Low capable. I have them triggerd by my high beam switch and I can select high/Low from a center console switch.

I plan on some "ditch lights" up top off of the corners of the Alu-Cab and some perimeter lights for camp setup and such.

So fun Water to Air Intercooler factoid.. I ran it hard with full boost on the road coming back from lunch.. opened hood and put my hand on the IC core.. it was COLD! Engine 185 degrees the intake charge is cold!

Gonna be a fun summer!!!
 
Water to air works very well when setup right. Makes a big difference in IAT! Good job.

I held up my new grille insert over the gaping hole up front about a dozen times while I impatiently wait for the chrome shop to get my new "L" back to me. Does that count for something?
 
Haha..for sure. I camped at a good spot that had coverage on T-Mobile so I'm cool without having signal for awhile...a short while! Haha
you can pull a signal in hells revenge and up high on fins and things
 
I pulled my front driveshaft since I don't plan on wheeling for a little while and just commuting. Entirely sick of my front diff whine. I will be ordering hubs and a t-case spool in the next few weeks. Drove it to pick up dinner and it was nice and quiet and really don't notice much difference in how it drives.

Also finally adjusted my steering box. Seems a little better. I need to do the bearing on the firewall thing because I'm getting some movement there and I'm sure that's not helping steering feel.
