Hello, a lot of you may have already seen this but I designed a fold and weld bumper kit. There are still some little adjustments that need to be addressed and I won't be able to test it with a winch for quite some time. Anyway, I wanted to see if there was any interest in the kit being sold, the price would likely be near the $500 mark. Side Note: It has been quite some time since I have been on here. The new layout is much more user-friendly, so props to those of you that worked to make that happen.

It’s coming along fellas. Little more involved than I remembered but all in all it’s been smooth. The transmission/transfercase assembly is huge... the transfer case weighs almost as much as the transmission! The oil is slightly brown on this transmission but it doesn’t smell bad at all. I am mating the transfercase to the new transmission right now. I’m not sure if I’ll finish it today or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Reviews look alright. I'd want to have a poke at it and make sure it's actually sealed right before mounting it, given the price point, but sometimes the cheap stuff is good. I got some really cheap round lights for a lawn tractor (and as bed lights for a pickup) and those have held up just fine. The translations on this stuff are always amusing. I get what they were going for with "Strong Penetration," but I'm more confused by the "subversive spot and flood optic system." Then there's the claim that they're "non-padiaton." I assume they meant "non-radiation," given the radioactivity symbol, but why spec that? I mean, they're gluten free, too, but... I bought something a while ago (forgot what) that came with some kind of warranty/review card. The back had a picture of a girl with her hands over her face, palms forward, with "help me" written across them and a five-star rating next to her head. I'm still not entirely sure what they were going for with that.

The weekend is finally here and soon I will be test driving my new(to me) transmission! I hope to have everything put together before sundown tomorrow. Tonight I got everything disconnected from the transmission except the dipstick tube, TC bolts, and bellhousing bolts. Exhaust is out as well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There shouldn't be any significant side-to-side wiggle for any position, but it seems possible you've got a rather smooth transition through neutral and that you're in the 4H position. In fact, if the lever were in N, and you put the transmission in park, you'd get a red ATP light on your dash. If you don't see that, you're probably in good shape. You could also crawl under the truck and inspect the shift linkage.

I unhooked mine completely, with the 6 inch lift and the lsv hooked up the braking power was down significantly. Brakes felt good on my quick tool around a couple weeks as far as I could tell, but in the future I'd like to buy an aftermarket one that can be adjusted manually.

The LSV is the load sensing valve. You can find it above your rear diff. I guess you'd bleed it just like a caliper or wheel cylinder. You need to bleed this first, then the left rear, right rear, left front, right front according to the FSM.

I too have the Motive bleeder so I'm interested in how you went about getting it to work on the Pathy. What's LSV? I've never bothered bleeding the ABS units in the past, they keep the fluid under a fair bit of pressure.
