Deer springs next Friday?

Lol you have no idea. My driveshaft was hitting my stock gas tank skid on a flat, paved road whenever I would hit the brakes or even shift not-so-smoothly. Driveways were a nightmare. The stock skid is gone now, and an Any7Offroad skid has already been ordered. I think I'll still have problems though. Check out the clearance between the tank and the DS (this was taken while it was parked in the driveway):

The lift I got from those 8 wraps was insane though. My hub to fender measurements are 26.5-27.

Edit: And did anyone get any pictures this time out? I work Mon-Fri so I couldn't make it this time.

Double edit: Saw the pictures in the 3rd gen picture thread. Nice! How are you liking the KM2s so far?
You should have gone with the Superflex rear coils! I'm sitting at 24.5" in the rear and they flex like crazy.

Sadly, I didn't really get to test how awesome those KM2's are. My gas tank skid was about to cut into my driveshaft.

My gas tank skid is bent, so in the middle, the sides were being pushed outwards causing it to rub and hit the weight on my driveshaft.

Luckily, I fixed that with a hacksaw

The Superflex coils were actually my first choice, but I ended up finding the 8 wraps for less than half of what I would have paid for the Superflex ones, so that was the deciding factor.

That looks to be about the same situation where mine was hitting. I thought about bending it or cutting it to make it clear like you did, but I've been looking for a good excuse to upgrade my gas tank skid for awhile now haha.

And since you didn't get to truly test the KM2's, looks like you'll have to do another run soon :driving:

And 04, your runner is coming along nicely! I like the bumper :thumb:

As soon as you get your gas tank skid on, we'll go test it out!
 
I had a fun time, but next time ill make it more in the morning or plan it out better. Jeff what kind of app/program where u using for gps?

That was just the regular old google maps on an iPad 3G. The 3G iPads have gps built in and google maps is a standard preloaded app. Super handy offloading and when sailing.

Bummed out I missed it but I didn't get off work until 4 and then I had to run down to Chula Vista to pick out a package. Maybe next weekend? I'll have the whole weekend off.
