Yeah thats where mine are mounted as well. Mid mount gives ground clearance and allows that extra inch of shock length. Good plan stan. 👌

Yeah you can swap the plates and run shocks there, and could use a smaller shock. I ran that way then later installed a set of ruff stuff mid mounts for my current set up.

Yeah like Pete i run 2 8" subs in separate boxes behind my bench. Cheap enough speakers being i got them on closeout but their better quality then paper cones. They are 4 ohms i wanna say and can handle 500watts each so i run a 1000watt amp split between the pair. Rocks out the neighborhood 😎. I like to be able to get a back massage while cruising down the road with the doors off. I also have a pair of 5 1/4" in the kick panels on the floor vs the doors. Those are ran straight to radio, no amplifier, and are due to be replaced as they have taken a beating over the years being first set of speakers installed. The next set will be marine grade for the water resistance and built in tweeters which will help me hear it better with the doors off.

Wow. Waiting for all your parts to arrive before tear down, this shows you have come along way.

Id rock it out on the trail.

Try using a heat gun.

Wow, is that thing a transformer?

Looks good 👍. You going to strip the trim down as well to shiny new?

You should be able to get it in 4lo while sitting. Id suggest adjustments before the trail. While clean as well. I got mine dialed in finally but did adjustments while in 4lo as if you start there it should be good.

Has this wilwood setup make a noticeable difference 🤔

Right , but the question remains 🤔... do you have to read them or are there pictures?

So does it shift smoothly? 🤔

I sleep in my truck usually so figuring on camping, gots to be nice to the local guys.

Beach day! Go topless.

Oh sweet progress. Hammered paint makes welds looks good.

Awesomeness. Thats a good deal you got yourself there. You could swap it all over to h.o. and then the cluster will work. . Need that shop done so you have working space.

Well tires off 🙄 going to be a good week. 👍 jk is back so thinking a beach ⛱ day is in order. Cause I love monday fundays. Brief checklist of things to do... 1. Swap tcase for 231d non leaking unit 2. Swap fuel pumps to complete new fuel system overhaul. 3. Swap to new set of leafs and combine old leafs into other back to create a 6 pack leaf stack with hopes of utilizing stock shackles yet still provided enough lift to bring rear sag up and allowing good hauling capabilities...well until I add airbags. 4. Replace brake booster and rerun all new brake hard lines with new proportional valve. 5. Setup 2nd battery and complete dual 12v setup with the new converter. 👌 6. Replace the electrical fans. 7. Install v8 steering pump and install hydro steering setup. 8. Install a reman 4.0 before hit the road to crazy 🤪

Hope you showed them how to work the parking brake.

😆 score.

I use a basic chrome air bubble type fold fan style one and love it. Little tall but i fold it under the sun visors none the less. I swear by it and it keeps atleast 20* cooler in the cab. Great for even when parked out for a bit on a bbq break. Always use it no matter where, as it helps with temps and the dog appreciates it as well. Dollar store $5 special worth everypenny.

Advantage being similar to the 7in long perches in combating axle wrap. Also can intragate a 1/2" to 1.5" lift, and the obvious being can use bolts vs u bolts. Also can use top plate as air bag or bump stop mounting location. Utilize a three hole set up and you can stretch wheel base out an inch or in an inch and can possibly help you avoid driveshaft mods. I ran this setup with my 8.8 swap and loved it. Used the ability to add an inch to wb to avoid driveshaft mods. If making perches anyways then why not.

7" with 3 holes for 1in adjustments and will combat spring wrap. I would look into ubolt eliminator setups. Best of both worlds.

That plug looks backwards 😳

Nothing like some real horse power and a real frame, yet rides like a Cadillac with some air bags.
