Spiderweb Shade top and sides, Texas flag stickers, 22" light bar and stubby stock bumper. Oh and did a little flexing in the ditch down from the house to get stretched for some trails this weekend! Party on Wayne!

This past wknd we did some work!
Saturday started with nitro sleeves.. Could have been easier.. The frost from the dry ice method killed us.. It's been humid in Colorado believe it or not.. But one smashed finger a broken bearing driver isn't that bad of a cost.. We then moved to evo gussets.. Easy peezy as my buddy is a career welder.. Then ace weld on rock sliders.. Stout is too weak of a word for these sliders, they look great and will most likely take whatever I throw at them.. All of this took about 7-8 hours...
Sunday was the day designated for beers and installing the aev 2.5 lift with geo brackets.. We took our time and after all was said n done it took about 8 hours with the occasional beer and food break..
The most difficult part of the lift install was getting the nut on the top of the front passenger shock.. But once the dremel came out we got it done... I am very pleased with the install of all of the parts, the quality was apparent and this setup appears to be burly enough to handle most trails.. Only time will tell.. Aev salta wheels and gy mtr kevlars come next week..

Bushwacker flares
35" MTR
15" steelies
no lift
trimmed rubirail
It Rubs! The front may actually be able to disconnect and full stuff.. but I haven't been able to get near that before the rear tire fills the wheel well..
looks like coil spacers may be in my future..

You should look into some swaybar disconnects. The factory end links are severely limiting your articulation.
