If you need a can I can make that happen.
Nah I'm good thanks! I don't want to pull my leaf packs out if I don't have too. And the new Dakar leaf packs come with plastic spacers to help cut down on noise now (which is what I have now).

new dakars squeak just like the old ones. Not sure how, but it seems to be a common problem.

Use a grease like this...

High-Performance Moly-Lithium All-Purpose Heavy Duty Grease
  • Molybdenum disulfide/graphite will act as a dry lubricant when necessary

Hell all you got to do is jack up the rear by the frame and thry sagg enough to get spray in where you need it.

True. I greased the shit outta mine before I put my new leaf packs in as well as the new plastic pads OME adds in there.

I put a layer of grease between leafs when I added the extra leaf, hadn’t noticed a sound in years.

Drove my 4Runner today after over a month of neglect. Only one spider web, no snakes, no mice, and it started right up. Happy about that

Cut 4 new cultivator arms out of 3/4” x 2.5” bar stock that holds 12” spades, only needed 2 but I figure go ahead and make extra.

I marked the center of the arms, so I just need to squeeze some time over at my friends drill press and get these done


Replaced 2 stupidass pins that Landpride uses for there 3pt quick attachment, replaced with grade 5 bolts.


slightly bent, lol

Id be willing to bet a good magnetic drill would suite you better than a drill press if you are messing around with machinery. + the meg drill can easily be converted to a press. Basically one already

What made you pick the Yoko's?
Told my tire guy I wanted some AT and he gave me his 3 top picks, these were the ones I liked. Not to aggressive, but still decent looking tread.

I think I'm about to put those on my truck in 285/70/17.

One of (if not) the lightest AT tires in that size and has the severe snow rating. I've read a ton of really good reviews on them with the only real negative comments being that they suck in the mud or deep snow...you know, the things that just about every tire is going to suck at.

Oh, and I picked up that EZ Slide graphite paint that Sean was talking about at TSC. Now I just need to order some new bushings for my leaf spring refresh.

They must be pretty light because my mpg didn't drop off at all like I figured it would. Also zero road noise.
