Bro mod down.....kept hearing a noise on the top right of the cab during lunch yesterday. started wiggling everything to see if i could find it inside the cab but nope....it was my light bar bracket. Tightened all the bolts but one just kept spinning. Got home and took it apart figured i'd just need a new nutsert, not that lucky. it pulled through the sheet metal and the back nutsert started cracking the sheet metal.

thanks man! With a locker these 2wd are very capable, it'll never get close to what a 4wd can do but still fun AF.

Are you going to make it to the Superstition trip at the end of January? I want to see that SUA do work in the whoops

Hoping i can make it out, planning on it but will know more the closer we get. I'm still adjusting and trying to figure out my new limits with this set up. i hit some dirt at speed during lunch today, small whoops and washes but was scary smooth doing over 60mph.

you haven't done a shake down since you've put them on? I'm curious to see how they ride.

Haven't had time and I don't live around the corner from dirt like you, hahah. I need to push my axle back a tad more, line my bumps back up, and double check all my bolts this weekend before heading out your way Monday morning.
