    On a lake trip currently, but I should have a tape in the truck. Will try to remember to check in the morning.

    Made it to Moab. Thankful for gears, airbags, and WD hitch; made it up the pass and back down without issues. 7" drop was perfect and set the WD hitch angled down 2 settings. Brought everything nice and level, and pulled really well. About 9,000 lbs in tow.

    Will find out this weekend when I test fit. I got the setup from a contact in my Missouri campers forum that built a Sema 1500 pickup. He's at 9" of lift and uses an 8" drop with the same Curt system. I figured 7" should do me. The simple drop hitch I used was a 4" drop. I do like to leave some...

    Yep, 93 Toyota Land Cruiser, fully locked. Little clip of it in action:

    Well, ordered the Curt 17500 weight distribution hitch system, and 7" drop shank, but one of the anti sway bars was missing from the box. Amazon is sending a new system out Tuesday and picking up the one I received. So had to go with a simple drop hitch this weekend for an offroad trip with my...

    No, I went with the pedal commander because it is an in-line option. I don't want to add any tune footprints to the computer, because I'm mid 40k in mileage, and not wanting to risk warranty issues. That's the only thing about the regear that sucks, no more cruise control because the timing of...

    This is SO true. I'm already nerding out on the POR15 job I have ahead of me this summer.

    Just updates dropping here for build reference: added in-line speedo correction, pedal commander, and rgb rock lights. Pedal commander really woke up the throttle response. Leaving set at Sport mode +2 for now. Excellent on demand power, much more indicative of true power train potential. Rock...

    Finally had some free time and great weather, so flag window decals and AMP Power Steps went on.

    Regear complete. VERY noticeable difference, mainly in off the line power. No hesitation or lag for power when starting from full stop. Took a little getting used to easing into the gas because it's much quicker to launch from stop. Should do better towing. Speedo off by 18%, so going to go...

    Some more progress on the fronts. Everything is out now. Tomorrow reassemble and reinstall.

    Thanks! And I get it...just can't figure what else could cause them to be so chewed up at 43,000 miles.

    4.10 Nitro gears going in today and tomorrow. Factory set had a surprising amount of wear!I Like more wear than we typically see when regearing our 200k mileage 80 series Land Cruisers, which was a little alarming. My hunch is the lift and tires over the last 6,000 miles coupled with using...

    2017 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 33" tires rubbing

    I dont have the same setup (6" lift w/ 35" tires), but certainly had to do some trimming of valence and front bumper. Some tape to mark the line and a cutting wheel, then smooth the edges. Hammered back a small part of the rear of front wheels as well. Was able to cut front valence and bumper...

    I Soooooo considered supercharging...but honestly the dealers are SUCH a pain in the ass, and I would've done the install myself. Once warranty is up, it may get some more tweaks for sure. I'm about 12 MPGs currently. We'll see what the gearing does, but this thing'll never be a gas sipper...

    Some updates: Amp power steps came in after about a 3 month backorder. Just waiting for weather above the current 1 degree temps, or room in my buddy's shop to get them fitted. Parts ordered to regear both diffs to 4.10. My buddy in my local Landcruiser club is a Nitro dealer and really does a...

    2015 GMC YukonXL- Fox Coilovers

    Mine finally arrived yesterday, lol. I was real patient with the supplier. I work in the freight industry and things are upside down right now. All in including the manual toggle and OBD splitter I was at $1437.30 shipped. Thanks for looking out though!

    Here is the AMP part number for their OBD splitter: 76404-01a I ordered that with mine, as well as a toggle switch to manually raise and lower the steps. Their part number for optional toggle switch is: 79106-01a

    Cause I've got a toyota that I use to really wheel. I'll admit, my lifted 2019 xl is just a grocery getter, kid hauler, tow rig...
