Got my hi-lift mounted. Now I need sliders so I can really use it.

With Duratracs on 18" rims, I had 12 'opportunities' to change tires on the trail....with my slider 2.5" step standoffs, i cant really use a hi-lift jack without opening the door. Often that was not an ideal option. hi-lifts see to work best with front and rear steel bumpers. For me, I think a bottle jack is still the best option.

I bought a quality hi lift 20 years ago, spent all its life in the shed and has only been used for removing fence posts. I used it once in the driveway but the handle came down and whacked me on the head, never used it on a car again.

Orange stuff. It’s the GM coolant that I was recommended to use from the mechanics.

Default More maintenance and some repairs.

Replaced the front wheel hub assembly, worn out. Replaced two front air shocks with Arnotts. Replaced the compressor with an AMK. No suspensions faults as of yet.

What I did to it today was to replace it with an 08 RR HSE. Love the 3 but it's developed a definite engine shake at low RPM and the transfer case went, time to move on.

If anyone in the Vegas/LA area wants it I'm selling it cheap as a fixer or parts (message me for pics).

How is the passenger space on this VS the LR3? I almost got one of these when I was shopping for vehicles last year but couldn't find a supercharged one in my price range and the ones that were in my price seemed to sell before I could even message the seller. My wife complains about feeling cramped in the front, especially if our almost 4 year old is in his seat behind her so if these have more front passenger space I may do a swap as well.

Removed the large resonator from the exhaust. It sounds great on acceleration and almost no change at cruising speed or idle. Has anyone deleted the front resonator/muffler and the second larger resonator? I wouldn't mind if the truck was a little louder but I don't want it to be stupid loud.
