Next I sprung for the Teraflex 2.5 coil and shock adapter kit with some Rubi take off shocks and moved up to 35" tires (Falcon rocky mnt) and down to a 15" rim (MB TKO).
I think I missed saying i tossed on a 12K Badlands winch.... but it's gone now anyway...

next up was the AEV rear bumper, AEV tire carrier, and the start of the Gobi Rack install and the Offroad Elements Gobi Rack Limb Riser Kit Big shout out to EADOff road for the great customer service on Gobi items..
I'll get the rest of the rack installed later this week hopefully....
Also traded off that front bumper and bandland winch this weekend for a RR XDH bumper with stinger (not sure about the stinger yet, may trade it out for a hoop instead)
(Like the one pictured)
Lastly, I got a sweet deal on a new winch....
I'll have to move the vacume pump to install the bumper/winch.. I hate cutting the OEM stuff lol

Winch line prepared for install... To protect from UV deterioration and damage from rubbing I covered the first 15 ft with lime greenish webbing(almost a Gecko green match) .. 38 cents a foot from REI.

Been a little bit...
So I was getting to the paint where if i wanted to sell my 35"s i needed to do it now.
Started looking around and stumbled on a set of AEV Pintler BeadLocks wrapped in a massive 37/12.50/17 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R with Kevlar tires for a killer price...
BUT
So now im swapping out my ciols to 3.5, cutting the pinch seam and looking for 4.88 gears..... these tires just got a lot more costly..... J.E.E.P. lol....
Starting a personal review and DIY facebook page... If i can keep up with it... https://www.facebook.com/EgressOverland/?fref=ts I'm doind a DIY wheel clean up and a mount and unmount DIY for these beadlocks...
