Nice. I got the Icom 2730A mounted up in my Land Cruiser. The detachable/relocatable face and controls on the mic are top notch!

I’m not sure if they’ll polish up after sand blasting without extensive effort sanding them back smooth. Give it a shot! The only wheels I’ve had sand blasted I got powdercoated black afterwards. Have held up good for years.

@CaptMaxADV that was my plan at first if I can polish them it would be cheaper

I don’t think mine ever had clear coat, or at least not anything left if it. I bought this truck in about 2016, with the wheels. No idea how they originally were.

Thanks! 🙌🏻

Awesome! Another fella said he easily punched out the rivets from the back side, was able to polish all behind there the rivets would sit, and then he probably polished each rivet too! 😬 Good luck! 🍀

Same here, same exact wheels same exact condition. Takes forever but they turned out great, only got one done so far.

I didn’t use any sleeves in the new bushings. I don’t recall any coming out of the originals.

@@CaptMaxADV Probably because you left the old ones on your old leaf set.

It’s called the Klim Induction Jacket.

That’s great! It’s a pretty spectacular route! Highly recommend it to folks! 🙌🏻

That’s awesome! 🙌🏻

Hey thanks so much! It was one to remember for sure! 🌲🙌🏻🌲

Amen to that! 👌🏻

Hey thanks a lot! Hopefully I get this Baja Mexico trip series put together before too long! Stay tuned! 🙌🏻

Thanks! Yes, I think having another switch to run the compressor separate from the locker would be worth installing. I just didn’t want to go through the extra effort, and this way keeps it all pretty clean and simple. On the point of running the rear locker whenever the pump is on, I theorize that that is a good thing for it. For one thing is just to get some actuation out of the sliding components inside the diff, and also to just run air into the system/seals within the diff. By actuating the locker on every occasion that I need compressed air, it just exercises the whole system and I hope prolongs it’s life or prevents some sort of binding from lack of use. Couple more points: It might be years and years between ever needing to or actuating the lockers. Probably not good for them to sit for that long. Also, I once mistakenly ran down the highway in Baja for probably over 100 miles, a few intersection turns also, with my rear locker on! It wasn’t until I had my windows down and was pulling off the highway onto dirt road that I realized the she was locked up. So, while not good for tire wear and general component life/strain, an operable locker isn’t probably going to harm much! My thoughts. Do as you wish! 🙌🏻

@CaptMaxADV I reckon the best might be to have a 2 way circuit. So you can switch the compressor on separately but it also switches on when the diff is activated as you have done in this video. Seems like the best of both worlds and that way you won't forget to turn on the compressor for the difflocks

I will second that! The music selection to choose from for KZbin videos is the biggest problem with trying to be a “creator”. Because it all SUCKS!! It’s only a question, when editing, of either wind noise, silence, or shitty music! 😆 Sorry and I hate it as much as you do! 🙏🏻

You could probably cover all the coastal miles I did in 2 days if you had to. Maybe 3.

I have to agree! And it sure is a big one! 🌲

That we sure do!

That is so great to hear! The best part is that they’ll always be there waiting for your return! Pretty special indeed! 🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

Thanks my friend. Other than setting up the gears, I installed this air system, and understand how it should and should work! LOL! It really doesn’t ever run once activated except for a minor top off every now and then. It definitely doesn’t run continually. Good lookin out! 🙌🏻

Hey thanks so much! Did my best! 🙌🏻

Thanks! It’s an experience to behold! Those folks who live out there, or have a part time place out there, are pretty fortunate.

When you said you removed the last overload spring off, you mean, the first of the spring pack from the bottom ?

@@billythomas4527 yessir, I ended up putting my springs completely back together though as I’ve added a rooftop tent, still pretty stiff even with the weight but just been running it in hopes of settling in future

@zomic5438 Gotcha ! I have bought some CS009R springs, the greasable shackles and all the bushings I need. I mostly drive with almost nothing in the box so I will also be doing this process. The only thing I am missing from the OME stuff is the inner sleeves for the front eye bushings ugh....

Thanks! Most all of my Toyota and off road content is on my other channel. Adventure Teq. The wheels are American Racing Outlaw II’s. With 32” Toyo M/T’s.
