thanks dave.  Yeah, this POS camera eats batteries, even set at 640x480.

I dunno.  I really need some sliders, and I have the cash, but I need shocks too.  I need to call the :turtle: and see whats up.

I also have zero motivation to work on this pig.

shock mounts measure about 20/21" at ride height. Anyone know the ext/comp lengths of 10" and 12" Bilsteins?

Which club are you in?

You don't have to be a member of a club to join Cal4wheel, they have both individual and club memberships the only difference is when a club is a member all members of the club must also be a member of Cal4wheel
The Ghost-Rider/Ghost Runner

No matter how far you fall, the ground will always catch you

"Later, I learned that even though I engage 4WD my hubs are not automatically locking? Something about manual locking hubs I think. What's manual mean? I need to read a manual to lock them? lol  So I found these neat autolocking hubs and installed them. Sometimes they dont stay locked while I am backing up, but that's fine because I dont have a backup camera to see where Im going (like our RV) so I just simply dont ever back up"- BigMike

OK...after yesterdays dust-fest, I have realized that I need weight over the rear axle! (and shocks) I was having a hell of a time getting traction, meanokie jumped in the bed, and I walked right out.  So, my rollbar will be getting lengthened and installed in an attempt to gain some traction.

My reduction box to trans joint is STILL leaking like a mofo...anyone have problems here before? I thinking about pulling it back apart and just going with a gasket and ultra gray again.  any other ideas?

Jud





Ya you do NEED shocks! and throwing that extra 150 pounds at my tailgate did help out a little.
