The round ones are pretty sweet I love the low profile of them. Picked up 2 new husky totes from home depot too. My action packs were hammered and cracked. The hunskys are nice and like the clear lid, they also fit 2 wide on my table that goes on my spare like inthe above pic for gofast trips.ImageImage

I ditched my action packers for Front Runner Outfitter Wolf Packs. They stack like legos, and they have vertical sides, inside and out. My action packers took up a lot more space than they could hold because of the slanted sides and the large lip around the lid. https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/e ... -pack.html

I like the clear lids on those husky totes.

Vacuum all the loose dirt out. Simple green and a scuff pad to clean the old grease and grit off the parts that move and touch. Then a thin coat of grease (whatever is in my grease gun) on those same areas once they're clean. I move the glass down half way to get all the surfaces cleaned and re greased also. Windex glass inside and out then reassemble. I can always tell when it's due for a cleaning because the glass will chatter when rolling it up about 3/4 of the way up and slow down.

More shock service, Bilsteins this time. Finally got a look inside the ACV on the resi's but forgot to take pictures... pretty unique with a separate piston and valve stacks with the compression side having a spring loaded valve. Both limit straps were over stretched allowing the u joints to bind and passenger axel shaft to rub the window. Got 2 new straps and I'm still playing with ride height.
