These didn't come through on the last post.

King of the Hammers 2019 was epic for me and my boys, the 3 that came. Top of the dunes, up some gnarly jeep trails that no full size rig has any business climbing and a little light treason to finish out our trip... In our defense, that sign was face down as we drove in, I said to by buddy on...

Yeah man, threaded bearing retainers are the only way to go.

Finished up my front bumper, wired up and spooled the rope on my winch. Today a couple buddies and I went on a little trip over the Cleghorn Ridge. It was windy, cold and raining the entire time... my front driveshaft is at the driveline shop being lengthened since I put the new leaf springs...

Cleghorn Ridge in the pouring rain with my front driveshaft at the shop getting lengthened? Sure why not?

Personally I love it. It has a 10.3 ring gear with a thrust pad behind is and a 3 bearing pinion... it's tough! It's also lighter and has better ground clearance than the GM 14 bolt plus it's all steel so you can weld anywhere on it and not have to worry about cast iron. The only thing you'll...

Following!

ORD offers one too, I've seen them and would be happy with either... buuuut, I'm in that classic situation where money is tight and I'm kinda cheap anyway so hopefully I'll be able to Frankenstein something together. Fingers crossed! Also, I'm running out of real estate on my front axle...

I actually have one from a c20. The 2wd trucks came with factory sway bars. Also I have a set of quick disconnects. Just got to figure out how and where to put it all.

Building the front bumper now. It was originally a rear bumper and has been cut, lengthened and brought to a bit of a point in the center. Its ugly now but will hopefully look nice when its completed.

Fabbed up front hangers/winch plate and boomerang shackles and installed my long leaf packs. I'm building a bumper now.

Long thin leaf springs and good shocks make it pretty nice. It's kind of a boat ride, I need to figure out a sway bar now... they didn't come with factory a sway bar.

Finally, after collecting dust for a year and a half I got the front deavers installed and what a difference! There are some dips by place that in our 07 suburban (wifey's truck) I have to slow down to about 10 mph... I hit em at 50 mph in my rig and its like they're not even there. King of...

Awesomeness.

Started building my wench mount / leaf spring bracket / cross member. LOL!

Roughly how long of a run is the bee trail? We have a family birthday party on the 19th in the afternoon.

Made a couple bushings... the ID of the first was to big, the second one was perfect. Also I've had brake problems for a long time. Suburban's didn't come with factory disk brakes until 72 so I did a disk brake conversion but didn't change the master cylinder, it was a "drum/drum" style and...

Not all done yet but progress has been made. I still need to add the upper shock bracket and paint.

Can I just say that its awesome! ... I replaced my backup lights with 2x2 LED pods and love it. Plus when someone is blinding you their brights on you can give them a friendly (or not so friendly) flash. [emoji2]

Here's a couple more pics of the wiring project. Today I had an issue with a couple relays. I have 2 horns one is just a beep beep horn (it pretty damn though) and the other is a air powered train horn. Anyhow being a noob I wired one wrong and when I'd hit the button the horn would honk and...
