    It will mirror the driver side.
    I’m excited to test it out because it looks goofy AF, but I think it will do well.

    I had extra lights(is that really a thing?)
    And I needed somewhere to put them…….. I still have extra lights(sounds so weird) that I need to find places to put them! The only bad part is switch management……. Switch bank is full!

    Slow boat delivered today Jake. I ordered a 3’ cat 8 to jump from faceplate to the outlet, think that will be ok?

    Are you using it to connect the mic or faceplate? The mic is RJ45/cat5-ish, the faceplate is RJ11/cat3

    Mic, search left me confused in regards to needing a shielded cable or no. Figured cat 8 wouldn’t hurt, but dunno.

    Nah it’s nothing special. Any of the network cables should do the needful.

    Tackled the RXT leaf packs install today. The driver side that I started on was a bitch and a half, didn’t realize the axle shifted rearward slightly so I couldn’t get the eye holes aligned. Finally wrapped a ratchet strap around the axle and slider and got er in. The passenger side was a breeze compared to the driver, but still sucked. I’d recommend 2 people for the job.

    Didn’t see the extra leaf in your delivery photo. You go option one/two and just not photo the extra leafs?

    Probably tested it with the extra leaf and didn't like the rake. My rear end was super high unloaded on option 3.

    I'm very interested in how they ride with the TRD Pro shocks vs the stock leaf springs...

    Sooo about that. The extra leaf (on each pack) was lost by FedEx, along with half of the other extra hardware. Luckily I just wanted to run option 1 anyway, but I’ve got a case open with Icon to get my shit.

    Maybe.. :monocle:

    But they still had the bubble wrap on the ends from what I remember so unless he wrapped them up again (queue the jokes) I’m not sure he could toss that extra leaf in.. unless they came from icon that way. The mystery remains :spy:

    yeah, unloaded with F tires and he’d be pinballing everywhere:playball:

    I went out and cruised the speed bumps on my street and it seemed much nicer. Hoping to get out next weekend and see how they do.

    So you don’t want to see if there is any snow left on Four Peaks tomorrow?

    It is crazy green over here.
