Under the Hood
Finished up the more braking and handling upgrades. Used @gmparts_acdelco severe duty rotors (higher carbon content), matched with @akebono_aftermarket performance pads. In the rear added @timbren_industries suspension enhancement springs to work in conjunction with @roadactivesuspension and finished it off with @bilstein 5160`s to control the rear axle and looks cool.
Half tons are sprung pretty light and with a 400 lbs canopy it eats into the payload capacity. I ordered the spacer kit so the Timbrens are engaged all the time. Slightly more bumpy on little things (needs to break in) but handles way better and soaks up larger imperfections really well like rail road crossings.

@versafel_systems was due for a brake service. We upgraded the fronts with @lordcoparts extreme duty rotors due to their higher carbon content and proven track record in emergency vehicles. We matched with severe duty pads from @raybestos_brakes severe duty pads. Grinded and cleaned all the mating surfaces, greased and back on the road.

Date night seeing Vancouver from a different perspective.

We`re going to get this thing on the road.

Doing our first Father & Son "excursion" in the Sierra for the first time after some outfitting with some friends checking out Slotquet Hot Springs.
Wanted a setup that is versatile all round for quick deployment and pack up. Got to see what works, but need a lot more organization.

@versafel_systems wanted to redo the factory air deflectors on his Goldwing. He 3D printed new shapes to use as templates and provided layered carbon fiber. We fired up the @jessemtoolcompany router table and copied them over.

It`s been about 10 years since I built a sound system for myself. Used an awesome enclosure from @kuztomboxes to fit under the passenger side rear seat as it house a @garmin_audio (JL Audio) W1 twelve inch subwoofer. I`m also using their XDM 5 channel amplifier mounted to the back wall (no holes made to the cab) to power the sub and C2 speakers. @pioneercaraudio sends signal to the setup.
Simple, compact and efficient. The charging system is also updated with new grounds, second battery and high output @gmparts_acdelco alternator.

Finally had a little time to be a nerd with OCD. My PC tower needed to be replaced so I took the time to harness all the cables so it`s tidy in the cabinet and significantly easier to service. Also added a @acinfinityinc rack fan which is automated with its own thermistor to help with ventilation.

The @bandmracing_official is an awesome differential cover. Cast aluminum with fins to dissipate heat and adds rigidity. Don`t overfill to the fill port, read the instructions.
The bearing cap bolts are a nice touch like @taperformance design. Also both have a curve internally so fluid can sling correctly and not aerate the fluid creating more hear. @bankspower proved that flat back differential covers make things worse.
You will have to get longer M8 thread factory style bolts as the provided Allen head bolts won`t allow you to mount the brake lines. Also made a bracket for the breather and parking brake cable using stainless clamps to hold in piece.
@Youtube video coming soon!
