I haven't had much time or funds to do anything to it until recently.

Thanks for looking

MODS


Wheels/Tires:
Stock SE 17" wheels
Terra Grappler G2, LT 265/70-17. Probably gonna up it to 285s once these wear out.

Powertrain/Drivetrain:
Rad Bypass and Aux Trans Cooler
Moog U-joints (out of necessity)

Exterior:
Removed mudflaps (this was a tough one)
2" lift: PRG single AALs and Bilstein 5125s in the rear, Bilstein 5100s in the front
Custom DIY steel front bumper. (build thread: https://www.xterranation.org/index.php?threads/custom-front-bumper-for-my-05.8938/#post-485385 )

Next Mod:
Probably a roof rack. I don't like carrying kayaks in the J-cradles, so I need to come up with something better.

Hit a deer on the way back from getting the auxiliary trans cooler. Only cracked the right light mounts.
