Suspension: Modified 6.5" RK Long Arm Kit, RE 3.5" front springs in rear w/ 2" Crawler Ready spacers, RK 6.5" rear springs up front w/ 2" Crawler Ready spacers...and another 2.5" of lift from the coil spring bucks I'm using. Overall sitting at 6.5" of lift (don't ask me how).

I remember how you caused all that carnage..... All I can say is we all make mistakes and forget certain key things every once in awhile. Whoops...... ;)

You make him sound like an idiot for getting out there and beating on his rig.

It's the law of compounding carnage- break one thing and you are that much more likely to break another if you keep going without repairing the original failure.

Oh you're talking about the radiator/water pump/axle carnage...haha yeah. That was just a dumb mistake of forgetting to turn the fan back on after fixing a coil spring. 10 minutes later I remembered I had forgotten....right after the radiator blew up ha. Good times. ;)
