spent most of the day up @Windrock1000 's shop... man him and his brother really hooked me up! We made a snorkel for old Pete and one for Windrock's ride. Then his brother went to town on my cargo basket that I got on amazon. it was supposed to be a riser, but only had about 4" of rise, so he chopped it up and added a 16" extension... ciphered out all the angles to make it snug up behind the bumper at bed height then welded it all back up! to top it off, they even fed me some killer bbq from down the road. can't say enough good things about these guys. looking forward to our next ride!

Thanks Plumber, I just pressure washed it and wiped it down with a towel... also, for the first time, I Armoralled the colored panels. they were getting dull and had a lot of scratches. the armorall shined them up like new again (sorta)lol

Dang man, that thing completely transformed from bland to bad@$$ real quick. Congrats!

Hey, is Pete still running an anti sway bar? If not, you should do another pic like the one below to show the advantages of the new shocks and going barless.

still running the bar... interestingly, that spot has gotten a little worse, but I was up there this past week and didn't even pull a tire on it...

yeah, whoever came up with that snorkel idea should get a medal... looks good!

Looks damn good! I cut a short piece of stuff rubber hose, split it and trimmed my snorkel hood hole with it. It's so tight that I believe it should seal nicely!

what sort of hose did you use?

 

[JTW]

what sort of hose did you use?

Just some shiney vinyl type hose I had laying around. I bought a rain gasket to try.. but didn't love it. Little too bulky.
So I used the tubing and it was perfect.



I goofed a bit on my original split so it doesn't line up quite as well as I would have liked. But that was all the hose I had. It'll do for now.

Ok, did a final check of tire height, wheel base, and ground clearance today. Tire height on the 28x10x14 maxxis carnivores is 27.5" at 14psi. Front wheelbase with 14x7 +3.5" offset msa m21 beadlockers is 64". Rear wheel base is 63" (not what I expected, which was 2" less in the back). Ground clearance with the highlifter and elka stage 5s (added another inch of front preload bc it barely had any from the factory) is 15" front and rear to bottom of trail armor skids.
I've only gotten to sample it on the road with this exact tweak, but it felt good, and I'm expecting great things with another inch of compression damping travel in the front. Who's up for a little Aetna Mtn Aventure on Tuesday???
gonna have to start calling folks out I reckon... who's in for Tuesday?, @Delton , @drfubar , @sharp , @joeymt33 , @Windrock1000 ,
