I'm an idiot...cause I don't know what the Camel Cut is...I'm assuming it's for clearance?

*edit* Google is a good thing. Got it.
Theres a lot to preach about! I researched a lot first and I'm quite confident that these are the best all terrains out there, at least for my needs (I want aggressive, not some highway tire lol, I woulda considered M/Ts if not for snow and ice)

And yeah the camel cut is just for clearance at full flex with the bigger tires. Overall size went up 1.6" according to specs (didn't bother measuring lol)

Yea I love those. I've had them on 4 trucks now. They are excellent off road and not bad highway.

Pulled everything out so I could see what all I was missing/ or what all was broke. Replaced blinker switch and started to reassemble the front end, which was ok except I only have to of the brackets that hold the headlights and the front bumper is bent up pretty good so that is going to get replaced sometime soon. Started to look at reassembling the interior and decided that was to much of a project for today and may be buying another disco to use for parts.

Mine has left the yard once in the past 2 weeks...and wait for it...it's not broken and in perfect running condition. My wallet is much happier at the gas pump! I believe this might be the longest span of not messing with her in a very very long while. I do believe I will have to knock the dust off and drive her to work tomorrow.

The battery on my trail pig was dead the other day too, had to jump it.
The plastic bag over my window didn't last the 10 minute drive to work so I made a really tight new window.

Maiden Voyage! Finally got to actually drive this truck. I never really have aside from the ride home when I bought it in September of about 2 miles.

I took my dogs to the park. Ran some errands. Got it up to about 55-60 at one point. No wild behavior. Just a few rattles and squeaks. Never reached above 182. Total of about 10 miles. Longest trip to date. Haha. I really love it.

Default Shocking

Yesterday on a Christmas afternoon drive I heard some funny clancking noises coming from somewhere underneath the truck.
This got worse when applying the brake's or hitting a bump.
On inspection found that the radius arm bushes is MIA.
Stranded in Mozambique and need to wait for suppliers reopening 6th January.
OR make a plan !!!!

That stinks. I've never heard of anybody actually liking those offset bushings. What's the plan for new ones??
