I was doing a Sunday morning inspection and noticed a breeze on my hand. Not sure what to call it but that cheapy fastener on the SAI pump (correct me if I am worng with the part name, I am still learning) was failing. Today I put in an 8-32 1 1/2 with a nylon locking nut to close it back up.
What lift, bumper, rack, and tires?
Looks great!
Thanks!
tires are 255/70r 18. (32”)
bumper I found on Amazon for $400
rack was found on a dead disco for $500 great deal considering they cost $1200
lift is a 3” terra firma kit from Lucky 8.
have some fog lights and off road lights that are going on next. Just have to wire them up
she has 138k. Just had a crankshaft position sensor go bad. Shut off completely at 45 mph.
I know the CKPS can blink out at any time, but at least the one in my truck was thoughtful enough to do so while I was stopped at a stoplight (a hundred miles from home with six boy scouts in the truck on the way back from a weekend trip).
The idea of it failing while rolling is scary. Having it happen at 45 mph is one thing; having it happen at highway speed in heavy traffic would be something else entirely. You can still steer and you can still brake, but with a lot more effort (suddenly). Hopefully you can get to the shoulder, but if you were going uphill in traffic that might be difficult. Lots for the brain to process simultaneously.
Installed new tires and took her for some snow testing.

Wheels are freshly powder coated, and I put on black all-steel lug nuts.
Spare fits without rubbing
Tires are awesome. Quiet and smooth on road and great on snow.
