My buddy Tom "Charlie Sheen" spotted this on Facebook by some foreign exchange student.

I'll take that as a compliment

i hung out with a drunken asian man many years ago. when he seen my durango he was blown away. kept calling it the big foot and could not believe the size of the 33in tires lol

i guess when you are from a country where the biggest car is an avalon its a big deal.

So I've been thinking... Instead of investing in new shocks and a traction bar just wait until summer and link the back. I already have 2" 1/4" DOM and a handful of 7/8" heims for uppers. Any thoughts?

 

[Jeepguy91]

Why not. sounds like you already have most of the parts to build it.

Leafs are very stable and predicatable. The 4 link feels unstable but can be made to feel more stable with the anti rock and such. 4 link articulation can not be matched by leafs.......

Well I bought some 1.25" heims from John, I guess it's time to watch pirate classifieds again and find another set of shocks.

Wired up the roof lights. They're 18" single row 5 watt. 180 watts total in a combo pattern. Can't wait to see how they look tonight

Thanks guys!

Not much to add this week. I've been driving it around putting some miles on it. Still need to rig up some limit straps.

Went back home today, looks like Silver heeps springs are finally settling. If the weather is nice this weekend I'd like to throw the winch in the bumper

Throwing some limit straps on it today.
