Still waiting on Dr.KDSS's kdss kill switch. And lastly I'll work on getting my scene lights and chase light install on my rack.

this project is coming to a close soon !!! been a long road but I can see the finish line...

I replaced the rubber seal on my GOBI wind deflector. The one that GOBI for some reason didnt want to sell to me ... It took 2months of back and forth and then I gave up ...

the rubber door seal I bought from Amazon worked perfect. It's higher quality than the original unit.

this one:
Door Rubber Seal Fits Gap 0.3 to 0.5 inch (8-12mm), Length 5 Feet (1.55 Meter) - - Amazon.com

Installed:


Left over piece:

The original unit: it was making a buzzing noise on the freeway which was driving me nuts

On December 29th ( I am COVID symptoms free since the 20th ... aka RONA Survivor ).


I had to clean the mud out of Rocky and clean all my recovery gear. Due to all the mud I had on the rig and recovery gear from one of the worst recoveries Ive ever had to do. It was 5hrs on recovery in the heavy rain and in ankle deep mud.

It took 80ft of my winch line, 1 - 30ft kinetic rope, and 4 - 25ft snatch straps ( daisy chained to my winch by shackles )to pull the truck up to level ground. I also had to use a tree saver and a snatch block ( holly smokes... I love this thing. Gotta remember to use it more) and my rigged to be strapped to a cement man hole pipe ( just to keep it from being dragged down hill ). And then we had to be recovered the last 15ft; just to get to pavement and out of the trail. Lucky for me and the jeep guy that was with me ... There was another volunteer with a Older Bronco and a winch.

Spent 5 to 6hrs cleaning it all and 1.5hr cleaning the mud off the driveway.
heres the aftermath:

Now for a Mod Update:

Rocky has been in AK1 Motorsports since Jan 4th. For the rear bumper install and painting. Its also getting the demello front lined and my passenger side fender which I lost in Gormar OHV park replaced and lined.

heres the pics of the work in progress:





The bumper is only test fitted and needs to be adjusted and modified to take up the 1" gap because of the 1" body lift.


here it is after being lined:








I believe I can see the finish line of this project. I have new shoes coming and new rear springs to support the new extra weight and lastly a few more scene lights.

[TheWraith]

went to go visit my rig at AK1 Motorsport ... shes almost done.

[TheWraith]

Picked up my 4runner for AK1 Motorsports





Just need to mount rear lights, get rid of my front fender well plastics and get rid of my pinch weld.

[TheWraith]

Finished swapping out my diode dynamics light bar over to all yellow lenses.

[TheWraith]

Wired up my license plate light for my C4 bumper

Wired it from the trailer plug





Let there be light!!!




Finished swapping out my KMC KM236 Tank 17x9 -38mm offset in Satin Black.

Took off my old FN Wheels Counteer Steer Type X and the spider Trax spacers






And then went to get her weight at the Cat Scales



Nearing the end of this Project... Just gotta wire the Diode Dynamics SSC2 rear flood lights. Get them installed because they need to open the holes on my C4 Bumper. And then get the pinch welds done and fix a few things. FINISH LINE

KMC/Coopers look Great! Rocky's looking bad ass as usual.
And that is one of the best looking rear bumpers out there imho.

I thought about getting one a few years ago, but when I saw my CAT scale ticket at 5850, I decided to go with a Detours hitch carrier and have been happy with it.

With no wife or little ones, I decided to take the back seats out to lighten her up and gain some space too. I discovered that I can ratchet strap my tools and recovery gear down low and in the center of the truck to help with COG in these top heavy beasts.

Yeah before the rear bumper and wheels Rocky weighed in at 5660lbs. And now with rear bumper, wheels, rear pumpkin skid, lower shock skids, empty rotopax, traction boards, hi-lift, and full side spare. It only added 580lbs.

My old tire setup was only 86lbs per tire and rim combo.. And the tire was actually taller. The new set up is 108lbs each and a little shorter but wider. I love how it handles though; feels so planted...

Did that trailer plug relocation bracket come with the c4 bumper?
