What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[Seth Vernon]

I recently upgraded my starter/winch battery power supply with a Yellow Top Optima. I truly didn’t realize how poor the performance was on my old battery until I respooled my 12,000 lb winch w synthetic rope and man the speed! What an upgrade.

It's nice to have a buddy for sure. Until I find another old goat like me I have to go solo and need the winch. Stay safe ! :-)

yep, I agree, the solo thing is why I have a winch and carry a cell phone. Have yet to need either but

Got some new shocks for the Jeep finally... can't wait to test em off-road, whenever that will be...

You will love the difference. Teraflex is hit or miss with QC. I am not nor have I ever been a fan of their shocks. Fox OTOH are terrific.

Good insurance. I don't go anywhere these days without my AAA card. But it's worthless in the boon docks. LOL

Thoroughly forest pin-striped it today.
Wife didn't think it was funny, truck looks even better!

I put a hidden winch

Drove it for 45 mins to charge battery, get fluids circulating, and for fresh air.

Hahaha a key modification

 

[BCADV4WD]

Installed flooring in my van build!

 

[Todd32x]

Added some side steps for the wife and kids to get in easier. Usefulness over the risk of catching on something was worth it. At least for the moment.

 

[MasterYota]

I finally got around to installing my Bilstein's suspension!

F150...made some templates for custom front bash plate, skid plates and gas tank skid plates. In December made and installed move front bumper, 12k winch, 6" lift, with 35" Milestar Patagonias, roof rack on back and rails on cab with lighting on both cab and rear roof rack. Also have electrical wiring panel in rear.

I kept busting sway bar links they would last maybe 6 months. So, I decided to remove the sway bars again. I had them off once before but, I started getting a little shaking up front so I put them back on.

I have replaced all 4 control arms, new 35 inch tires and installed a set of custom King coil over shocks up front and decided to try again. So far the ride is noticeably smoother and hitting really big holes or bumps are much softer and more controlled. I can't wait to see what they feel like at 60 to 80 mph on desert roads.

We found our 2wd GMC to play fairly nice with no swaybars on the highway, I expect it to be even better when we do the coilovers in it, but we've been keeping a sway bar on it for general truckness.

Thank you for your comment, so far it seems to be fine and and I don't think it will be a problem in the future. I think the main reason I blow through so many links is they can't handle the 10 inches of wheel travel my rig has. When one wheel is down and one is up in the air it is just trying to rip them apart...
