Picked up some used BIOR step sliders locally, very excited to get them installed.

Swapped springs to correct sides. I was super excited when I lifted over a year ago and I did not pay attention to the side specific markings. I’m def a dummy. All better now going to get a alignment and see if I can figure out my rear end clunk I created after the lift.

Yesterday, me and a buddy swapped out my 400k transfer case (with issues) to a brand spanking new TC with only 200k on it !
Damn thing drives like new. We also did my front sweeps and greased everything up.

Newer t-case going in. I picked it up from @slow95z last week and swapped over a few parts from my old case. I built a platform to hold the t-case on a transmission jack. 12" x 12" plywood with a couple of lengths of 2x2 and it balanced the t-case perfectly. Before rolling under the 80 I strapped it down just to help keep in place on the jack while moving the whole contraption around. To slide the jack and t-case under I had the lift one wheel of the 80. There was never a time when this did not feel unstable, but gravity is relentless and this still made me nervous. All worked out well and the t-case is installed and only have a few items left to hook up.
Getting ready to install a sub amp and wanted to upgrade my aux electrical stuff anyway.. Setup a power distribution panel with a switched fuse block. Works well for what I wanted.
I’ve had these for 10years. They are awesome. I’ve had the 80 teetering on them on rocks a few times.
Pro install tip: when mounting the passenger step slider tighten the 4 frame rail bolts first. Then the U bolts.

Deleted a CB and GMRS radio I installed a couple years ago. Just don’t use them. Also deleted front and rear ditch lights. Now moving the AUX fuse block to the PS rear quarter to power the fridge and interior cargo lights. I bet I pulled 40 feet of wire out of the truck today.
White Knuckle sliders?

It's a YT decoy mx core 2! I love it!
Installed copper stt pro 35s on summit racing dakar wheels and had a trip to sourgrass 4x4 trail
I love my coops
If you get an extra rubber isolator/mount and bolt it directly to your jack. Then bolt that directly to the transfercase. No worries about it falling off and you can align it much easier
Added a drawer under my sleeping platform.

Awesome advice, thank you!
Is there a torque spec I should follow? Or just crank it all down nice and tight?
Bolt size and grade, material being bolted and thread pitch determine torque.
There are tons of charts online

One of my favorite looking wheels. Summit makes great fitting wheels for the 80.
There is no torque spec, and a torque wrench won’t fit on the upper bolts as the cat is in the way. You have to use a ratchet wrench. I used gear wrench because they are long.
The capture nuts on the frame are the weakest link so I ran a tap thru them a couple times just to clean them out. If no tap just use one of the new bolts. Then test fit. One of my top holes was a hair off and a quick bore with the drill make it perfect. All super fun while on your back wrestling a big arse slider!
