You should've YOLO'd and gone Long Travel...

Oh I know.. thought crossed my mind when I went with the TC lowers a couple years ago. Sell it all and go +2 LT. Someday.. maybe. Don't really need it though for light trails and pulling a camp trailer.

I'm not even sure I've gotten an apology directly from them in the few phone calls I've had

That's Mr Asshole to you
Installed a battery tray for a 2nd battery. C4 Fabrication made a quality piece and glad I didn't try to make this myself. Way better than what I would have figured out.

Going to install a group 34 deep cycle. Need to wait for some parts to come in and then make battery cable.

So this went no where near as planned. But at the end of the day (two hours to spare before tomorrow) it was done being bolted into place. There were some radiator/ bracket issues. There were some adjustment issues. There was the little sleep for a few days issue.

But tomorrow I will knock out the electrical and adjust the suspension.

Well you did buy a Dodge so don't act shocked.
Made it 275k miles, Id say it lived a long life. My tacomas went out at 80k

What did that originally come off of?

It came off another 3rd gen 4R. Schrockworks builds them tight so there was very little room for movement when installing.

I hope your beast is back on the trails soon.

The frame and upper link mount are good to go now. My new Tom Woods shaft showed up, so that'll go in on Tuesday. After that I'm good to go, except for the ORI lower eyes being bent. If they're not cracked I'll run them for a bit longer, but I do have coilovers and air bumps on order.
