Honestly no clue, my educated guess is 40 pounds. I don't have a scale at my house.

Yes, it is my blinker because my Switchback halos are not super obvious at night with my headlights on. Its some led strip stuff from amazon advertised for motorcycles.

Have you had your rear shocks mounted back to the factory location for a while now? Noticed it on the picture and didn't know you had moved them back. Does it limit any travel?New stuffs.
Got a new set of Treadwright Guard Dogs in 285/75r16.
The used set I was running was getting a little scary, dry rotted and cracking, they were almost 7 years old so time to upgrade though the tread depth was fine.
Excited to see how many miles they last. For reference, I put them on at 194,5xx miles. Going to try and rotate with every oil change.
Mounted up on the wheels.

Been in stock location for almost a year, I actually get more articulation in the stock location than in the outboard spot. Granted I did switch shocks. Overall less of a headache IMO. To each their own

Well it was the another weekend, so.... Another advenutre!
I took a really fun short trip to Breckenridge. I left Fort Collins at 4pm with Nick ( [MENTION=95801]iRide4Runner[/MENTION] ) on Saturday, met up with Austin and Drew around 5:30. We made it to camp on Georgia Pass around 9pm and had a fun night around the fire catching up. Then in the morning we went up the Peak 10 Trail where we were greeted with some snow. Also spoke with a ranger for a while as she played with Huck the pup!

I was happening to wonder how you wired your orange "raptor lights" on grille into the car or even what you do have them wired to. A seperate switch, or corner lights maybe?

that building perched up on the rock slide area looks so crazy and I thinks it's nuts that someone built that up there!

They used to be wired to corner lights, but I have since unwired them. Got sick of having to replace them constantly.

Are you referring to the little circle mirror on the big mirror? If so its just a blind spot mirror because they are amazing. (Just a super wide mirror so I don't kill motorcyclists when changing lanes)

Gas Tank Replacement
Gas Tank Replacment
I bailed on the F-150 tank swap after chatting with [MENTION=118730]AssBurns[/MENTION] seemed like way more work than its worth and honestly, a little driveshaft rubbage never hurt anybody. Hoping that the new tank that isn't bent to hell doesn't rub! Lil Skips Tank skid apparently has no rubbing issues and I assume mine did because of the way it sat on my old tank.
SOOOO Here it is, Easy peasy.
I got info from the following thread.
Fuel Tank Removal Step-By-Step
This write up by [MENTION=60147]the great him[/MENTION] was super helpful for the few things that tripped me up.
"New tank" Used one from Yota Jim's junkyard in great shape with a little sanding and some black paint.

Pulled the Lil Skips gas tank skid. Been doing a hell of job protecting what was left of my original tank.

The old tank coming out

The old tank looks like a raisin

Hardest part of removal was disconnecting everything. Especially the wiring harness. Took a lot more then expected to disconnect even with the clip released. Everything else was a breeze. Be prepared for fuel to go everywhere when you disconnect the fuel line. We let it drain for like 5 minutes as we enjoyed some IPA. Honestly was way less messy then expected though.

New tank went it super easy, double check everything is connected and tight. We didn't and some fuel went flying upon start up. Tightened up a line and all was well.

Filling up the new tank from the old one (had to break of the cap on the filler hose and it worked like a funnel). No wasting precious fuel around here.

All said and done it took like 3 hours but would have taken like an hour if we werent messing around the whole time.
