Poor man extended front sway bar links by using the rear links from a pathfinder/infinity. Rides much better now

What did that do? Would it be better to remove the sways?

After lifting the stock links will bind up quickly , putting in longer ones gets it closer to where it sat stock so it will smooth out the ride a bit

Place I bought it from claimed to have put new brakes on it and they did but just the pads so it started developing a shake when hitting the brakes from warping the rotors . Hope these help , took me a couple extra days to get them on when I could do a proper break in procedure without someone calling the cops thinking I’m drunk .

looks like one of my new struts is almost shot already . I didn’t quite pay attention when I installed them but it looks like one side has a different lower bushing than the other guess I need to pop this one out send it in for warranty.

Looks like it was beat with a hammer......Good catch.

Yeah they’re not even a couple months old but the other side has a substantially bigger bushing that’s what they make warranties for I guess

 

[Smileyshaun]

Don’t know how I didn’t notice that when I put it on

Progress is looking good. Keep it up.

Version 2.0 of the sleeping platform, took a couple inches off the drawer , added the drawer sliders and made a longer front platform with a piano hinge that’s wedged in super tight eliminating the need for a second support underneath. Next up is carpet and tie down points . The kiddo approves

 

[Smileyshaun]

Well that’s better

Are there sequoia 4x4 ? Will be too wide for overlanding because that has a good size like the tundra

If I can Overland a Dodge 2500 long bed, I am sure Shawn can Overland a Sequoia. They are in between a Ford Excursion and Chevy Suburban in size. And I have seen plenty of all three on the trails.

Hey it buffed!

 

[Smileyshaun]

Little upgrade . Get full extension but need to extend the bumpstops to keep from bottoming out the shock .

 

[Smileyshaun]

And another another upgrade on the way , not my first choice but only thing I could find in stock .

 

[Jim SoG]

Nice.......
