Lil backwoods therapy ...

Hey @jfz80, where is this backwoods therapy location?

Black calipers would not be OEM. The green pads certainly are.

The black calipers were shiny silver until i daubed some black por-15 caliper paint over them

That would explain it then.

I don't know why, but that universal pinion flange hurts my eyes. It screams Wallmart at me.

What manufacture did you get the axles from? Do you do a lot of rock crawling when you wheel?

Went off roading after finally adjusting the parking brake. I should have fixed it months ago. Took me maybe 30 minutes to pull the wheels off and play with the adjusters. I feel much better parking on a slope.

Picked up a screw in a tire on our recent offroad trip. It was only leaking slowly at night (seemed to hold air fine during the day) so I left it alone and kept wheeling. Drove another 600+ miles before the trip was finished. Drove it a few more days after getting home and finally got it fixed on Friday. Turned out to be a little bigger screw than I expected. Haha.

I've loved the Toyo Open Country MTs! Been awesome offroad, and have lasted longer than any other MT I've had. So...I didn't see any reason to change things up this time since I'm getting close to replacing them. ( I usually replace tires at about 50% tread and recoup some money by selling the tires, and keep more fresh rubber on the truck). I've changed up what tires I'm running on nearly every set over last decade since I like trying different tires. These Toyos have been so good that it will be the first time I haven't changed to a different tire in a long time. I have a new set of 37's coming in this week and these used ones are actually going to get moved to my sons minitruck instead of being sold. These are great tires if you want a tough offroader and still do a decent amount of road driving.

Also, last week at added one of the DeltaVS tool mounts to my homefab rear bumper. No more Quick fists to hold the shovel and other tools. This is a well designed and solid tool bracket. Really impressed with it.

I saw that tool mount on Delta's site and I've been eyeing it since then. Good to hear someone has used one and likes it. Be sure to update us with a long term review after you thrash on it for a bit

We wheeled aboutView attachment 2473842View attachment 2473843View attachment 2473844View attachment 2473845View attachment 2473846 200 miles of dirt with friends. Elephant hill, Beef basin and back to Moab via Lockhart basin.

Thank you again for an absolutely awesome trip!

Finally got my long-awaited 4x4 Labs rear bumper delivered and on the truck with help from @Evanmj ! Took a little longer than anticipated. The cold beverages didn't help.

Looking for the inner fender liners. The one I had here covering my steering box and the opening was damaged beyond use when I replaced the steering box. Anyone have a good source for replacements?

There’s a small company that makes a mush more robust set. Been meaning to get some myself. I’m drawing a blank right now for some reason. Hopefully someone else knows who I’m talking about. They have a small website.
