Other mods:

Did Radiator bypass after started getting a rumble ::fingers crossed:: That I prolonged the death of the tranny.

New Alternator and going to rebuild old one myself as a spare.
Added RockyMntX recovery points to stock bumper

Wants:
OME Leaf pack
Diff armor
Roof basket that can hold spare

So far this all has been a lot of fun. I am doing the build myself with only a bit of help and supervision. Really want to know my vehicle and learn as much as I can about it and how to repair it.

Stock and then after lift.


Getting Dirty







Recovery points added




Trunk actually stays open now! Thankfully no more bumps and bruises from that heavy ass door hitting me in the head.




Painted Burger



On the Mountain top.



Picked these up from eBay for 3.00 shipped for a pair.




They didn't fit in the front domes, but fit in the middle and rear domes perfectly. Even in the daylight you can easily see the huge difference.






I put the Shrockworks skids on by myself. Thankfully I'm small and not claustrophobic ,because they were really pretty easy to do with the skid laying on top of me.








Shrockworks Sliders are really heavy and I thought I wouldn't be able to put them on myself, so I asked for help with the first side. Then put the other one on myself.
