Wasn't sure with the rain when I'll finish it, so I painted the parts I could get to.

The weather was kind today and managed to get it done.

I raised my front body mounts 3" and took out the spacer

This is a close up of the raised body mount.

I've never been a fan of Goodyear either. The last set of tires were bfg KM2 and I loved them. When I went to 37s the KM2s were on national back order for 6 months. So I decided to get the MTR with Kevlar. They have actually been a tire so far.

Thanks HeyYou!

When I went out four wheelin last weekend, the rear end will still climb up into the fender well and rub badly at extreme axle articulation. I guess rear bump stops are in order. The mounting hardware will be in on Monday. The Daystar stinger bump stops came in today.


Check list
1) Done--Install new track bar (to replace the bent one)
2) Done--Install steering gearbox brace
3) Done--Install the 3" body lift
4) Install the headers and remove the old exaust
5) Finish fabrication the traction bar and install it
6) Get the new exaust installed
7) Done--Raise receiver hitch tube
8) Done--Fabricate front bumper
8a) Done--Add recovery points to front bumper
9) Done--Fabricate rear bumper
9a) Done--Add recovery points to rear bumper
10) Done--Fabricate rock sliders for each side
11) Make tie down for spare in bed
12) Add bump stops to the rear suspension
