Well, another good weekend of truck time. We were able to meet up with a couple of people from Arizona4Runners (FB Group) and head down to RPM Fabrication's re-opening after they moved. Got home Saturday afternoon, and decided that I didn't have anything better to do, so I re-read the C4...

Not sure, but fabricating them isn't going to be an issue. it's just 4" wide 3/16" steel from the look of it. Chop saw or sazall to cut it, sander to clean it up, drill for the holes.. simple to make. There's no bends or anything on those at all.

Another busy weekend this weekend. Summary: got the sliders & bumper back from powder coating, installed the sliders, and added the accessories to the front bumper for install. But, let's break that down. Friday we picked up the sliders and bumper from powdercoatingaz.com. I haven't used...

So, first, I forgot to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I got a bit of a surprise when my sliders came in before Christmas. I didn't quite do a full test fit of them, but put them on the jack, bolted up the front bolt, and then raised them up to height. Since I didn't want to disconnect my...

Thanks. If you buy a SUV, you should use it as such... otherwise she would have a sedan or a station wagon. Also, thanks for the compliments on the truck.

I live out in Surprise, so this is a little trail out on the back side of the White Tanks where we go shooting.

The other thing to think about is that your speedometer & odometer are now roughly 5% off with the larger tires. Larger tires = larger circumference, which means that they travel further on a single rotation. The fuel economy (based on the digital readout) shows that you travelled 100 miles...
