kinda small vid, idk why. but you can hear it pretty well. just kinda looks like the ridge of the dune from your last run up was enough of a bump at high wheel spin to pop it.

Tipped the shocks in, put new shock mounts on, recharged the air shocks to ~300ish psi (from 260) which gave me about 7-8" of up travel from 6", lowered the truck about 2" in the rear. Down travel is just right now, the one joint binds if it goes any further. Uptravel is about right too, another 1/2" and the fuel tank hits the upper wishbone.

Ill get some pics tonight if i remember.

Damnit Zach, I completely and utterly hate you and your sonic blue POS!

Lol, j-k dude!

Man, I love it! I'll be so glad when you get rid of the 4.0L though, even with the blower it sounds so ridiculously weak, the 5.4 will sound 100% better screaming up the dunes! You know, as much as I like your truck, I never see mine going this far. I would like to have a cage inside, but mostly for looks. And I know I have been saying this for ages, but some nice tube bumpers and a dovetail would make me like mine so much more! Im thinking charcoal flares and bumpers like the 09s? That seems to go well with the white paint.

I really want to see it dude! You coming to the Knoxville meet and greet in October? I know some pretty cool trails at Windrock that we could hit up.
