Ryan, that 44k one looks nice. 226 on the other!!  :rolleyes:

Sounds like a good plan so far. If you go wheels, because you want wider for sure, you could still do 17's and clear with a 3 inch lift (really just a level kit).

I probably went backwards with my intake, but I have a clearance issue with the elky hood. I now have an LS intake vs the truck 5.3 and a CTS pan.

Bumpers sound cool, can't wait to see em. What is you planned route for the trip?

We spent really little time there. Road bikes in the AM, skiing when hot, drinking and pool at night, seemed the border patrol liked to chase me, never caught me.

I made my own set for the elky about 20 years ago.  1in is all, billet and had some crazy weight back there (cummins). Knock, knock.

I think your slides are fine Don. Just worried about the drawer bottoms not holding up.

I liked the sliders and spacers. All the weight is on the sliders. Latches were a bit busy for me.

Sure it changes pattern but adds BS. I hate the new small tire sticking way out look. Be sure they are billet at least. Most wheels are cast so the spacer is stronger than the wheel.

Doing that on my burb. H1 wheels are 7 BS so I will run a 2.5 spacer to keep the 4.5 BS most of us have now. May go a little more since I like the tire flush in the rear.

Well, the All On mod was just a loose 1/4 plug.

I cleaned the OEM housings and it is better, but not great. So I got a OEM style set but cheap so we'll see.

I did get the JDM NX high beams and WOW, worth every penny. Very happy, $70 well spent.

Found one of my fog light adjuster was messed up. Screw came out of housing so it could float, easy fix. Ordered cheap LED bulbs for them, stock are just 37watts, ouch.

We did my moms walls and the attic. She fed, I crawled, worked good. Attic was easy once you were up there, walls had no blocks but you should have seen the holes for just a 900sf house!

I remember those areas on the side from my old 96, pretty much the same.

Very nice fit and work by the way. The pass side will have lots of AC stuff under there, the drivers not so much.

Think there is a factory cover for all that too.

Water table should be good if I don't have water. I am seeing wells (USGS) at up to 200ft, but many are under 100, some at 25. But another bargaining chip for sure.

I was seeing 1500-2000 for a 120-150 footer with a quick search. Sure that is without pump and all the rest.

Well, as long as the doors are closed he should be fine though. Plus with things hidden, why break in?

What about Teflon tape on the slides if they are stiff? I found some on ebay pretty easy.

Having power nearby is definitely something I would like. Well or water is a big plus, just have to see. Trees and a stream would be nice. It's there, but pretty $$.

I like the idea of rolling land maybe against hills/ mountains. I doubt I will get a thing like Don has but like it.

What does a well run if from scratch? I have see props with a well casing listed which I take it is not being used or dried up.

Just get it covered under your insurance (that's why you pay for it) and be done with it. Then let the companies battle it out. Not your fault so no points or rate hikes.

I understand its not what you want to do, but is it worth the bother?

Well, I added the JDM NX LED bulbs to my Dmax and so far I really like them. In fact I just ordered the same bulbs for the high beams.

Now 2 setbacks, my "all on" stopped working when I put in the LEDs?? Maybe the relay, just haven't checked. What is the mod with the diode for all on again in the fusebox? That or the pc board.

Still in the stock housings too. Is there something better or stock housings the beast??

May as well get going on this as so much is flying through my skull I need more to muddy it up. I have been thinking of some land for some time now and now it should come to pass.

Looking at getting 20+ acres (hopefully more) OOS (out of state). This may or may not turn into a permanente residence depending on,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Want it backed/sided to open/blm land so as not surrounded and no HOAs with easy to handle building regs. I am looking south of the Reno area, which allows decent access from several highways in about 3 hours. I budget in mind, but a little flexible depending on the parcel. I do not want a plod of dirt in the middle of more dirt!

Not really worried about power/water or structures for now, the right property is the thing first. I already have ideas for storage (shipping cont) and living (24ft TH). Tractor and HD trailer for sure
