Latest project: I replaced the drag links and TREs with marlin Crawlers heavy duty kit. Figure it couldn’t hurt with the added weight of the steelies and bigger tires… I needed TREs anyways.
painted with VHT chassis paint. Clear Lacquer on the TREs. I cleaned, sanded, and painted the pan hard...
New roof rack setup!!
went with Gamiviti low gutter mounts, which are amazing quality and so strong. Then I ran 80/20 25 series crossbars.

the truck has had troubles running at startup... it would slowly die at points...
after investigating, I found my fuel system was leaking and losing pressure. it was letting air in But hard to tell where. I would build pressure using the hand pump on the fuel filter, but after a minute it would...
Cold starting wasn’t what it used to be, so out with the old European batteries (who knows how old), in with the new Odyssey 27s. i cleaned up some wiring and replaced the terminals with mil spec as well. I also refinished the brackets with good ol rustoleum.
it feels like is starts before I...

no rack.... gotta love it:
new rack... gotta love it even more:
