What did you do to your AT4 today?

[gemarsh]

I need something I could use on gravel, off-road and trails. I liked the ad/video for ARB however its reviews reveal poor quality. I have no problem paying for a good product if it exists. I did not even realize I'd need a hi-lift jack for outdoor use until this conversation started. At home I use a 3 ton floor jack with 6x6 blocks to get the truck off the ground for each wheel, not the best thing, I need to get a suitable hi-lift floor jack for use at home.

I have been pleased with this...

Side ditch light, and rear offroad lights installed. Nothing wired up yet, just installed. Still waiting on my GODZMFG front 30inch light bar mount to finish up the front.

These bad boys were hard to install especially the gas pedal but managed it after a bit of sweat and cussing.

Always enjoy a good old yelling and swearing install.

Are you really installing anything if it doesn't go like this?

Should have posted this before, but for the next fella or fella'ette, just a little silicone grease in the corners, makes a world of difference.

I learned this after half of an install! The rest was MUCH easier...

I take it the swearing came from slipping and poking your finger/hand/arm with a 90° o-ring pick!

Changed the oil for the first time. I had to use a ladder to get to the oil fill cap with the truck on the lift.

Third world problems over on your side with your fancy lift, and your super tall truck. LOL just kidding. Yeah just did mine and the dealership mechanic that did the last oil change needs a blanket party for how tight he put the oil filter on.

Boy! You have a complicated tri pilot plane with six pedals.

Gas pedal was harder, I tried some dawn instead of grease and that did not work. I got the right side of the gas pedal rubber to latch on however the brake pedal was in the way of using an an upholstry pick; eventually I made it easier using a thin 2.5mm round head hex driver tool; needed something thin to slide the rubber over and it was done. It wasn't fun I might add.

I thought first oil change would be free.

I do them all myself. There might be a chance I am traveling somewhere and use it at a dealership when on the road. Too many horror stories about dealership oil change monkeys. I usually do it at home which means I can get it done in less time spent than driving to the dealer. Since this was first time I wanted to get it on the lift. This was at the auto skills center at Naval Air Station Jacksonville. At least the oil filter and drain plug are nicely placed on this gasser. I have had so many oil filters on their side and make a huge mess.

Yep dealership jackoffs that need a good beating. Here is my screaming, throwing shit, and cussing out the dealership mechanic that did my last oil change. He had tightened this down three times the amount needed.

At least he didnt strip out the drain plug by using an air impact. I've had two friends that happened to.
