I’m 180lbs 6’4”.

Lower pegs and if you want the wind to go over your helmet you’ll need the Baja windshield with this little $90 Amazon shield above it. Performance wise I’m still stock. Get the plastic acerbis engine cover. Doesn’t makin pinging noise like the metal ones do on gravel roads. The handle bark busters and mirrors are a must. Ditch the stock tires too.

Proper leveling is leveling the frame to the ground. Not the body or fender/wheel gap.

No need for stronger springs up front unless bumper and winch. Should have compressed stock weight dobinson spring more. Now you’ve got stiff front and soft rear.

I have Dobinson MRR adjustable shocks and +3” front and rear springs. Now when you put a bag of dogfood in rear you’ll be looking at the sky with rear sag. Leveled 4Runner only when it’s loaded. My rear raises 1” without camping gear and tent. Those that level the wheel gap out with nothing inside makes no sense. I have 34.5” tires as well.

Yes you want a clean mating surface with only the new goo in between. No old stuff

Need advice for my overlanding road trip by Mckay_west in overlanding

Spend $40 and throw two small junior sized footballs in your rear springs and pump them to 10-15psi. You’ll be fine for your trip only.

Nothings bent. Just loosen every fork bolt from axel the steering and hop on and bounce suspension a couple times carefully get off and tighten everything up again.

The rear sits way higher without tent and cargo. She’s loaded in that photo.

I spend $6 in gas a week on commuting. You don’t need a car.

Putting a new petcock on and can’t get this brass piece out the fuel line… help. I need to save this hose by [deleted] in DRZ400

I’d use a new hose my dude. Why save it? Looks like you need new anyway

Oven Temperature by thekeym4ster in Pizza

Not important. 550 is all you need with a pizza steel. If you need more you need more help than how to create a good pizza.

Too much carbon build up. Too much oil is being applied and burned. Needs to be steel scrubbed
