I'd say it's all of 40 or 45 lbs? I'll make a point to weigh it this weekend for referencing purposes.

Hey, did everyone know that Wisconsin uses salt on their roads? Oh yeah, and it gets EVERYWHERE. This is why we like stainless bolts and rustproofing stuff...

Another year around the sun for your truly...  Shout out to all the members I've helped and friends I've made over the years in the T4R community. It's a good place to be!
Oh, and, I'm wrapping up the skid install as we speak! Stay tuned...

So are you saying it's your birthday?
If so Happy Birthday, I hope you have a great day! 
If not, I still hope you have a great day!

Nice looking rig!
Did I miss the brake fluid flush?
Purchased a 2008 V8 Limited in Bend Or. with 35000 miles on the clock two years ago. Original tires were on the unit. Noticed immediately pulsing brakes. First job was to replace the brake fluid after driving it home to Alberta. Next the tires were replaced.

Can't say I've done a brake fluid flush yet, as they have been doing fine so far! Thanks

Happy cake day! I have obviously been following the build, coming along nicely. Pics of the skid installed or this thread is worthless!! 200k club FTW. My girl is getting close herself we’re about 150k. She runs like the day I bought her 6 years and 60k miles ago. Better actually.

Right on man, good to hear. It takes a couple hundred thousand miles to break our rigs in! I'll have more pictures uploaded tomorrow, but for now, this is what I got!

Looks way too nice, a bit jealous! I originally painted mine white, but later sprayed the front black so I'm rocking a ghetto I mean cool two-tone skid.

Right on! Yeah, I spent a good bit of time with prime and paint on this thing just because I know how much salt and grime that will sit on the skid over time - be nice not to have to touch it up until I need to... Haha

You've got your own paint booth? Someday when I get a proper garage that's one thing I would like to set up.
