Removed my rear fenders and finished painting the last few parts red to match the front. Think it turned out pretty good. Running rear fender less, I am not to sure if I like it or not, also had to swap out my 40" nittos for my 37" bfg at's... To much high way driving.. 8 mpg back to 16-18 mpg

Curious what you used to connect the chuck to the bumper? I have the same setup and just left mine 'loose' inside my bumper... Zip tied to my winch power cables.

Rough Country 4" Lift Installed
My Father-in-law and I spent Saturday installing my new 4 inch lift form Rough Country. I put on Rancho's exhaust crossover correction to keep the driveshaft from contacting the crossover. I also put on Rough Country's Control Arm Relocation Brackets. Everything went on pretty easily, considering this was my first time attempting anything of this magnitude. The only real issue we had was that the bolt on the tie rod that goes into the pittman arm got damaged. That was due to inexperience. I replaced the entire tie rod end with one from Moog yesterday morning. After test driving, I am very happy with the lift. I've only got about 50 miles on it so far, so there's not much to go on. The springs seem a bit stiffer than stock, but that may be subjective. When all was said and done, there was very little adjustment (to the alignment, etc.) that had to be done. It drives straight with no noticeable pulling to either side, or any of the shiftiness that I've read so much about. So far I am pleased!
