    Thanks man! I’m a complete beginner to this, so I just used adhesive for the large faces and staples the hell out of the corners so they wont come up. They don’t look the prettiest but it should last long! And yes, it’s an RD I’m not sure the model. My dad has worked as an engineer for Mack...

    Made some AdventureIndex drawers and got to test them out this last weekend! I made them out of MDF, the total cost came to around $350. My dad and I took two weeks and made them after work. I need to make a latching system so that it stays closed, but I’m happy with where they are and will be...

    4th Gen Maintenance Tutorials, Writeups, and Picture Threads

    Thanks for the features! It makes me want to do write-ups for my factory- bypassed/ dual amp sound system, rear 8.2 swap, rust patches and retrofitted/switchback headlights. I should get on those soon...

    I added taco tabs, deleted my swaybar and added C59-354 Dobinson’s springs this week. I’m very happy I did this mod! Here are the results: Went from ~3 inches of front rake to ~1 inch, making it look much more level and very capable of handling the big boi weight that lies ahead Deleting the...

    Went to uwharrie this weekend and had a blast. My buddies in the RAV4, Outback and Forester always turn heads on the trail. The locker has a surprisingly steep learning curve with how much agility you lose when you turn it on! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I think I’m going to do the marlin crawler gussets down the line, they are super beefy. I just can’t weld in the garage where I live right now so I need to wait to do them Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Took some really clean shots with my sister’s DSLR and MAN I can’t wait for a bigger lift and 35s. Speaking of more lift... Dobinsons springs came in today, taco tabs come in Thursday! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Patched a little more of my frame and added a 90 degree turnout to the exhaust. Can’t wait to find a job and move out once the covid stuff is over so I can have some space! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I welded a Coastal Offroad steel front bumper together this last semester at school. Convinced myself for a long time I didn’t need it since I would have to save up forever to get a winch to actually use it, but I wanted another challenging welding project and this fit the bill. 90% of the...

    The people almost got a crotch shot, but the sexy impact gun in the background stole the show. That reminds me: That_Titanium_4RNR helped my ass through the whole axle swapping project from start to finish, all while cursing himself that he didn't get to the axle first. Eyes peeled on LKQ's from...

    It absolutely does, here’s some of the carnage: I have since ground down the frame and chassis savered it, but have not patched the holes. I just got a mig setup that should make patching easier and then I should be in the clear! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I haven’t been updating this build thread as much as I really should been, so I’m gonna post some projects I’ve done in the past and haven’t really documented on here! I created a swing out tire carrier for around $250. I made it out of: 2 inch square tubing 1/8in thick A Destaco 344 Latch...

    Definitely do that, it’s probably the cheapest way to get these axles. Here’s the price list (for at least the one near Greenville, NC) Auto Parts Prices | LKQ Pick Your Part | LKQ Pick Your Part - East NC Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Yes! At LKQ as long as you pick the part off the vehicle yourself, a rear axle “drum to drum” (which includes the diff) is $200. A locker doesn’t add to that, fortunately. I think the sway bar made it a little more than the online price. Now, if you go to the already picked stuff on the LKQ...
