Tell us the story of trying it out tonight!

f you...lmao, yea, i high centered it on some deep ruts, it wasnt that it wasnt all id hoped itd be but andrew has been digging some ruts in this spot just so i could get stuck...he and his 35's had to come pull me loose, when i hit the gas i could hear the prop shafts dragging on the ground (cringe) but after that i hit up a few more spots and just paid attention to how deep stuff was and it did fine, thanks again for pulling me out again andrew! but yea i felt dumb, the hilift jack woked as its supposed to, i got the rear free but i had no where to jack up the front on, so i guess next is a bumper, also a winch in the future will help, and ive got a 2001 le with the grain so isnt that different than pre face lift r50? the interior has a different shape to it

You might consider getting some sliders ahead of the bumper. I've heard tell that properly installed sliders can act as a jack point.

yea if you wanna go out let me know, work sucks, but you have too many jobs, do your parents make you pay rent or something living in that big fancy neighborhood you live in?

yea its not a bad idea, but im not digging that its gonna be a day project cause i wanna get the trail gear weld on ones so getting them perfect will take forever, theyre cheap, but labor intensive sooo yea, a bumper should be a bolt on affair unless i have to do a small amount of cutting and welding but not like welding gussets to the frame...i guess well see what happens

thanks man, i appreciate it, it takes a long time but no real specialty tools, mainly 14's 17's 19's and 10's a couple long extensions and a wobble extension and youll be good, may consider a long handled 17mm closed ended pivoting ratchet wrench it helped alot for the top two bellhousing bolts, i had to buy one to get to those two but it made it a hell of a lot easier

More than likely. I wasn't full throttle, go find a big ass hill and try it out, I'm gonna go out Saturday again and see if I can get more footage. Hopefully in a group this time.
