Might as well but some new leaf hangers too....

 

[tx_shooter]

All that extra weight; a supercharger could sure help it move.

 

[bakerla]

I've been looking at the Archive Hammer hangers.

 

[Silverback]

Yeah, when I install new leafs I will look at new hangers. My current ones are bent to shit.

 

[balakay]

I’ve only heard good things about the Archive stuff.

I filled it up with fuel today along with a bottle of Techron. Plan is to drive it 100 miles or so over the next few days. Just to make sure it still can. Also noticed that I need new rear leafs. With the new bed rack and "poor mans decked system" she hits the bump stops on bumps. So tempted to buy the OME designed for 660 lbs in the bed at all times plus the extra leaf. I've spent way too much on it lately so I'll wait and see how it goes.

Go ahead and do it. It's time man. I don't know if I would do the extra leaf again though on my setup. My rear still hasn't sagged down so I'm still at like 4" of lift in the back.

But if you are gonna do the extra leafs, I've got one leaf in my garage with your name on it. Just need to figure out how to get it to Austin (I'm driving through in December to go to hunting).

Thanks man.. I'll probably order some when I get back from Arkansas. I'll hit you up.

I've got the 4x innovations hangers (they were designed by someone else before being bought by 4xinnovations IIRC). I bent my OEM hangers a bit on the Moab/Colorado trip.

I would go with either the bay area metal fab hangers or the archive hangers now.

 

[Silverback]

Good information.

 

[Taco Loco]

I need to locate skid plate bolts etc, I have no clue where they ended up after the move.

 

[Silverback]

I called up Bud Built and ordered new bolts.

Gonna look one more time, I have the F150 bolts in a bag and located, cant find the yota bolts, after the hunt will probably call BB on Monday.

 

[Silverback]

Some new deflaters. I've lost most of my Stauns.

 

[Silverback]

Took it for a shakedown run. Got back and changed the rear diff fluid and even used new crush washers. It drove well... it sucked down fuel. Won't be passing too many gas stations with it once it loaded up. LOL But I am in no hurry to set land speed records so 65-70 is plenty fast enough.

 

[tx_shooter]

Might need some injector cleaner to help blow out the 500 miles from the last three years.

 

[Silverback]

I've put that in there.

 

[Silverback]

Merry Christmas to me. Some mo'betta jerry cans.

 

[tx_shooter]

I keep debating Jerry Can vs trailer mounted fuel tank w/ pump.

 

[Silverback]

Jerry cans for the rig and a mounted tank for the trailer. Best of both worlds.

 

[Silverback]

Working on a camp sink. Awaiting some adjustable clips and then I'll add some stainless cable to help support it from the top of the rear bumper. I did run into an issue though, the water pump dealio works great when its above the water tank.. but since its below it gets the whole siphon issue going and it doesn't truly shut off unless you pull the tube up from the jerry can. Not a huge deal but its not as ideal as I hoped. I mounted magnets under the water pump and there is a piece of metal on top the board to hold it in place.
