Ban Hammer?

I doubt it. If I haven’t been banned yet ......... most likely can’t stand change. Anything is interesting until our eyes are open.

Nice! Looks like you run 3.50 tapered coils up front. Do I also see a 1” spacer? What rear springs/spacers do you run?

My front tire to fender space is similar but rear loaded not so much.

Those are 4 inch flexi coils. With man a free 30mm spacer. Rear I also have the 4 inch flexi coils with no spacer. Looks pretty even unloaded.

Thanks!

Not sure on that, its not my truck. But it is in for a inframe. The previous inframe was assembled incorrectly by whoever did it and the engine blew on this side of the country. Bad luck for that guy!

I am guessing it's the marble canyon/Vermillion cliffs area....

Been rocking the Maltec 80 the last few days. This is an extremely capable wheeler that you can easily live in full time anywhere in the world.

Travelled up to Cambria on PCH. Then rented 4 wheelers at Pismo dunes. Great way to finish up the trip. We had a great time in our West Coast Cruiser over the last 3+ weeks. Headed south to Beverly Hills to see friends and spend the night. Looks like I’ve got the oldest, dustiest, dirtiest, awesome vehicle in this neighborhood. Keep your Bentley. It may be faster and prettier but it can’t get you to the top of shuteye.

What a great crew of visitors I might add.

We went to Pismo Oceano Dunes & did a bowl...

The sand type of bowl.

Sometimes when your having to much fun you forget to pics & vids, but @ToyotaDon got this one for me.
His 2 sons in the back didn't want to do it... it was classic.

What a great crew of visitors I might add.

the youngest nephew seems to have infected his two older brothers: they will come over in September for 4 weeks to drive the RX from Baton Rouge to all kinds of places as yet unknown to them

all three had visited us in Arizona in 2005 and toured the state in a CruiseAmerica when they were, like, 2, 5, and 6 years old - but only the youngest nephew has been back here since, in the spring of 2018, and then for his 2018/2019 high-school exchange year in North Carolina - on our recent 3000 mile tour to Yellowstone and back at AZ (with detours), I let him to drive the 80 on a trail in Northern Arizona for an hour or so

"this might be the only time ever in my life . . . " --- "well, you can come back . . . " --- he's been hooked since

Did it already pass a million and you’re going around a 2nd time? Awesome!!!

And it looks like something is wrong... you’ve got some kind of green light emitting from behind your “D”...

Caught me.

Nope, bought it a few years ago with a blown motor @ 84k.
Now that its at 100k i lost my chance to sell it to some schmuck for $40k.

What a giant pain in the arse getting to those 4mm bolts holding the compressor into the bracket. I ended up sawzalling off the bolts running thru the wheel well as I could not get to the last bolt. The hardest part was refraining from prying the damn thing out with a crow bar.

Anyway, plenty of room on the DS side, and I fab'd up a temp bracket out of some sheet kicking around in the garage. Ultimately it should go into the rear quarter panel, but it's here for now.

On to more important things...

Washer bottle relocated - easy.
2nd battery tray installed - easy.
T-Max dual batt kit installed - easy, although I used none of the included wire or connectors.

Next step is to run power from the yellow-top aux to the QPM holding the pure sine inverter. Tomorrow.

Crossing the country starting Sunday, and need to charge the Onewheels as we go

EVERYONE NEEDS TO DO THEMSELVES A SOLID If your going inverter into RQP get a HIGH END unit, fire makes no sound.
