Thanks dude but I picked up a wheel for $100 in Chula Vista. Painting it tomorrow.

 

[BrianSD_42]

Updates:
* Ordered a Ballistic Battery Box today from ballisticfabrication.com
* Painted my new (used) 5-star 4Runner wheel to match the others

Here is the list of things I need to take care of before the MOAB trip:
* fix rear exhaust mount weld that has come loose, about to break off
* transmission standard drain and fill
* new spark plugs
* oil change
* CA smog
* lube zirk fittings (my driveshaft clunk has returned after a 5 year absence)
* inspect ball joints (just a precaution, they only have about 75K on them)

[JBurt]

did you see what DIRTCO did with his zerks? I don't know if that's a problem you've had or not.

Did some preparation for Moab this week.

* Greased zirk fittings
* New plugs
* New wires
* Trans drain & fill
* Painted my replacement factory five star wheel to match the rest.

Brian -- you got what, about a 12 hour drive?

 

[LittleCaesar]

Have fun Brian. Take plenty of pics.

I have not been back to Moab since the late 90s, where I did a couple of 24hrs of Moab (mountain bike races). No other place like it.

 

[BrianSD_42]

Yep about 12 hours

New "Built Right" upper control arms.

They are pretty nice, made local and come with a zirk fitting for easy greasing.

$650-ish local pick up. Call The Truck Shop in San Diego. $175 for install.

pictures are mostly back up although some of the sizes are off.

I was taken hostage by Imageshack.us

They charged me $2/month and blocked access.

Did you get it re-aligned? Did you specifically get your at 3+ degrees with the new arms?

 

[BrianSD_42]

Fixed All Pictures In The Thread !!!!!

For some time now (I guess) my pictures have been all messed up.

I just went through and fixed all the pictures so they are 1200 (max) resolution and cleanly show up on every page.

I've seen you a few times around town - love the rig. Are you the same warthog from yotatech back in the day?

Great build. It's fun being back in SD and seeing how many of the people I knew on here are now more or less local

 

[jstim]

Are those the Bushwhacker flares? And I have been looking, and maybe I just am not firing on all cylinders, but which UCAs are those?

 

[BrianSD_42]

Update: I haven't had time to go through the MOAB trip pictures yet but I'm working on it.

In the meantime here are some pictures from an awesome trip I took in 2013 that I never posted in my build thread.
