looks awesome - great work

have to ask

- u did check sub-tranny for proper oil level and shocks for gas pressure?
I have not check the oil levels yet, so good reminder… the coolant was way low so had to add some

I have no idea how to check the shocks for gas pressure

darn - forgot it's a LV - Im outta talent on that one - I was thinking check the clickers
Finished attaching the tree kickers.. was able to add a leftover piece of the plastics that needed to be cut out so that the skid didn’t bow at that point (diy spacer of sorts)

Maiden voyage complete… pretty badass no doubt…. Didn’t do anything crazy being without a winch and solo,… but was a blast to drive.

Couple things I’m surprised about… still pretty rough ride (so need to figure that out) which could be due to increased speed, air pressure in tires, expectations too high… it did awesome on large gravel but on other areas not so well.

The other thing is it is just as hot as the Pioneer except without the steam bath part. The center console section was hotter than I expected. I’ll address that today/tomorrow

About cab heat, get some of these, they're very effective (I don't have door lowers either).

I did the jeep transfer case boot mod under my shifter. That seemed to keep alot of the heat out that comes up around the gear shifter.



Also, awesome looking rig ya got so far, can't wait to check it out in person!

Also the skinny pedal is twitchy… every bump caused an acceleration and deceleration… I think I have whiplash now… any suggestions?
heel rest (piece of wood, angle, etc. for twitchy throttle to rest your heel against and pin your right leg against console, getting the suspension reworked as well as time on the machine it becomes an afterthought

if that’s the Fox stuff and harsh - revalve/springs - not sure about your model but every other year I think 22 and before most needed a good influx of cash to make the ride enjoyable
