New shoes , need to do some trimming but so far so good .

The rear bumper "flex" is kinda interesting......is that from the flexing?

Didn’t trim enough when I put the body lift on on broke off a tab on the bumper so it’s dropping a bit . Still deciding on fixing it or building a new bumper .

Taken the turd up in the snow for a couple trail runs , tires work amazing even only aired down to 18 . Being spring snow the winch gets a workout from time to time .

Went out camping and exploring central Oregon for a couple days with the little one . Surprisingly on straight hyw driving I get 16 mpg even with the 35s . We had some good laughs cranked up music and just a amazing daddy daughter time . A little to much snow on the obcdr so some backtracking was needed other than that was super smooth trip .

That scenery makes you take notice. I'll have to check the job situation. See if there's a place for me out that way!

Headed up into the woods taking the long way up over Mount Hood to play in what I thought would be the last bit of fresh snow for the year couple feet of nice fluffy powder and no tracks made for a nice drive , just to have it snow at home the next morning lol

Well that’s a great way to find out your ebrake on the forklift pops off for no apparent reason ….. sigh Murphy hates me .

Man 8psi is the sweet spot in the snow for the kendas . Such a great day out exploring with the little lady . A good day of driving in a couple feet of snow seeing bear , elk and deer plus tons of spring melt waterfalls . Such a great day out .

All my guessing worked the rear box fits with the 3rd row in

 

[Smileyshaun]

Mucho more bettererrrr . Stock ones couldn’t even take a little hit from a forklift ….. weak sauce .

 

[Smileyshaun]

Sometimes the lighting is just so right you have to take a pic .

Well the sequoia is off with its new owner and now I’m learning this 2wd world stuff . I’ll be back with another off-road rig soon more dedicated for off-road sense I have a daily driver now . Even though it’s lowered already and I put some 20d on it ( no I can’t leave anything stock ) we will still use it for gravel road driving and camping .
