Going do the level still debating on the rear though, why did you decide to do the rear? Worried about trackbars and lca alignment issues is why I haven't done it yet.

I added the spacer in the rear in case I tow or haul anything. I don't want it to have too much of a "squat look" while doing so.

Great idea, you talked me into it - the pucs go on in place of the lower isolator right?

The Daystar went under the spring. I just lifted the spring up and slid it in there. There was no isolator to remove from under the spring. At least on mine there wasn't.

Finally got around to installing a trigger relay in the high beam headlight circuit so I can kill the aux lights at the same time as I dim the headlights. I live in a really dark, rural area, and running into a deer, bear or moose would really ruin my night. Being able to run the extra lights and still dim them fast enough not to blind an oncoming car can be a lifesaver.

Hell, even hitting a porcupine would suck. For those that don't know, porcs are not afraid of anything, and will not move for anyone or anything of they don't feel like it.

Adjust your drag link to center up the steering wheel. Every else will go away.
Not this time. I'll have it aligned Monday and we'll see if the damn warning lights go away. It's nice and centered though.

For shits and giggles....here is mine after my ball joints and knuckles. Driving pretty decent.


Took Alice for alignment the other day after getting the lift and tires installed. Camber is off a little so we ordered BDS upper adjustable control arms. Really wish BDS would let you pick a color in lieu of just black.

Do you have a write up of that relay install? Would love to do the same thing.

What are folks attaching to the molle panel? I'm interested, just not sure of what I'd put there or how "useable" it would be.
This is actually mounted with a RAM mount arm but you could put one of these on the molle...

Changed oil and filter. Been wanting to install a Fumoto valve and finally did. Easy peasy.

I'll probably need to do that one now that I've installed Asfir skids. :like:

It’s been a while since I did this but I added approach lighting under my running boards and happy with how it turned out
I might copy that on mine... ? I've got a set of them lights that I had not figured out where I was going to install them.

I did that one time. Bought a $4K Schmidt and Bender scope for my RPR .338. Just about cost me my marriage. :facepalm: :CWL:
A great scope will last a lifetime though. :like: I remember back when I bought my Nightforce scope as a Sgt on A.D. no one understood why I would spend that much money on a scope.

Maybe a flashlight, fire extinguisher or trauma kit ??? Or as above pistol holster, that was a potential use for me.... for when in vehicle.

When you look through good glass. You never will use anything else.

Amen to that brother! Not unlike you, I put a big Tangent Theta 5-25x56 on my 338LM and it is…
