Stock tires. They did good I think. I only got stuck once. I never aired down either. Only reason I got stuck is I was going over a steep hill with steep down hill and bottomed out..
 
Engine oil change along with front axle/differential and transfer case (15,000 miles). The transfer was perfectly clean good looking oil. I have no idea if there were any brass shavings in the oil. Refilled with Ravenol MT-3 75w which has a nice pull out spout which is very convenient. Front differential oil was filthy black and the magnetic drain caught quite of bit of shavings much like the rear axle. For point of reference, the front differential was used about 500 miles give or take 100 miles.

 
G5004x4

Got a chance to take a close look at a G5004x4 today. It was pretty slick and well engineered. Made my T4R with a 6" lift and 34's look small. But for $225K it's not for me. I'm sure I will spot them in the supermarket parking lots soon tho.

Camburg UCA Maintenance

I over greased my UCA bushings causing them to deform when tightening the nut on the through bolt. After some research I found that removing the zerks would allow the extra grease to escape.

Lesson learned here, less is more when greasing the bushings. Two or three pumps is all they really need.
 
Looks good.

I'm debating between this kit, or Bilsteins front at 1.75". I worry if I'm not planning on buying new tires for a few years that the factory highway skinny bridge stones will look too small. Decisions decisions...

I did this as a precaution for my new job. I'll be working in Mammoth Mt where there is currently 30+ feet of snow. (crazy amount for CA considering the past few years). I've only had the truck for a week... :dance::peep:
