Oh, oh!! And those KM2 guys have all the experienced winches at the moment . . . might be a long lonely night on the trail if those Destinations ever let you down.

I'm still wondering what Travis is going to do if one of his breaks a bead and goes flat. I may have to buy one of those little stock 29s for a few dollars so he can borrow it to limp out of the woods with.

I think I'm going to get the same Crown extended brake lines (different color of course), but for a 4.5"-6" lift since I have more suspension droop by using the 4-6" Bilstein 5100 shocks and longer Full Traction HD springs even though my lift is only 3 inches.

And no, my springs do not shoot out at full articulation with the front sway bar disconnected.
They seem to be doing okay - may bleed one more time for good measure.

let's not talk about me getting a flat.
The lod tire carrier and matching spare is at least 2 or 3 months away.
i'll just keep my fingers crossed i guess.

Travis.. do you need to extend the bump stops to keep from bottoming out the new shocks? or are they good? Dude the beast looks good! Job well done.. now another 4-5 grand and you will have it finished Winch, lockers, axles, armor, you name it.

should be good, i fully stuffed the back wheels wednesday and crawled under there to look. only problem was my dropped brake lines were hitting my shocks, just took my DIY drop brackets (thanks danny @ rocket city) off, drilled another hole and reinstalled, went from 3 inches of drop to 2" ...problem solved.
