What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

It’s snow raining and nasty so I didn’t take any cool guy pics. Coilovers and rear shocks installed. I need to get a front end alignment now. Mounted the compressor, manifold, and lines for the onboard air for the bags as well as the daystar bag cups which where a pain but I can tell they will be worth it. This weekend I’ll run the power to the compressor and do an oil change. Initial feeling is that these puppies are far more rigid but not in a bad way. Much more responsive, the damping is light years better than stock. I’ll be interested to see how these settle.

DF: 39”. Increase of 2.25”
PF: 39”. Increase of 2.5”
DR: 39.5” 40.5” with 25lbs of air
PR: 39.5” 40.5” with 25lbs of air

The increase in the rear is likely due to the thickness of the daystar cups.

View attachment 50202 View attachment 50203 Found out my truck is missing a sway bar link. Looks like it’s been gone for a bit. Took a few shots on my way to work yesterday. Ordered a few hindred bucks worth of maintenance parts. Hard to upgrade when I keep having to pour cash into boring stuff like O2 and MAF sensors on my daily.

Well got to a few things this past weekend. Installed the JKS quicker disconnects. Much more quiet than the worn out rough country ones from last year. Then I cleaned up some wiring with wire loom and zip ties. I adjusted my headlights so they are a little lower, then pulled the grille to remove the chrome rings and to replace the old grille with mesh. I can’t decide if I should paint the rings black or leave them chrome or just leave them off.

Nice. I had the Rubicon Express put on mine last month. I am curious how they will do. I hope I do not regret not going with JKS.

Completed my drawer system!! Well, minus the stain. Going to use a transparent black stain for finish. Couldn't stand losing the little bit of bass there is in the system, so I spaced it away from the subwoofer quite a bit. On the opposite side, I had to space it a bit as well, to allow air for plenty of air movement, as there's a fridge vent on that side. So in the long run, the drawers are a little smaller than I hoped, but overall VERY happy with the outcome. View attachment 50322View attachment 50323View attachment 50324
