mrblah keeping it real about offroading or building to offroad. i think a lot of folks in the forum underestimate that upgrading/modding comes with tradeoffs...specifically more maintenance

Sep 21 order I ordered the BP-51 full kit from forum sponsor Total Automotive Performance LV today. Everywhere I checked local and online is backordered. I am set on moving to this suspension after a stiff ride for 3 years. We'll see how long fulfillment takes but until then I'll keep wearing...

For anybody near ECGS, I recently dropped the truck off for them to regear and wire the e-locker up front. Great service from the shop. I'm changing the gear oil this weekend as per the break-in instructions. 4.56 gears have returned on-road driving to a pleasurable experience with big tires...

BorotHex what'd you or the dealer find?

I say this as someone that has been working on things since I was kid. Also, I'm an aircraft mechanic and love tinkering. That said, working on your 4R is very straight forward. You don't need a lot of tools and there is info everywhere online. If you don't have much mechanical experience, find...

Just had 4.56 installed and Harrop front locker. I decided against upgrading CV axles. Curious if you've put more miles on/time on the trail?

Any chance you have info, pics, or description of the wiring used for the front locker? Awesome build. Jealous of what you guys have on the west coast. I am learning and tackling more and more where I'm at.

Nah man it's pretty simple. Turn that anxiety into activity. Be proactive like the other guys said and check the torques when you rotate. Spidertraxx wouldn't be risking wrongful death lawsuits if the wheels just flew off after proper installation. No sweat!

Agreed with Jetboy. Replacing this part is easy compared to other repairs. You're probably gonna pay more than $35 for a new one but lesson learned. May be worth picking up a spare from a U-pull-it lot for the trail. Any noticeable difference with the KDSS function?

Same. I'm in for this. Bud Built take my money.

I know my post above isn't quite what you wanted for an answer. That said, most of the shops in Florida do budget lifts for people because their rigs don't see much hardcore offroading. You can definitely do new shocks, springs, and/or spacer on your own. If you take it to a well known 4x4 shop...

If you have basic tools, a nearby auto parts store that rents tools, and some mechanical knowledge you can do it in your driveway. It's easier if you have a vehicle lift but jack and stands will get it done. Oh yeah, read the how-to section on this forum and have Youtube available. There are...

yup...this is good advice

Love the work and write up. Trying to see in your pics but hard to tell...KDSS or no?
