That's what they said though... as you already know, they lie more than the weather channel!

Got impatient and ambitious today. Wanted to see how it'd look without the boxy plastic bumper. It's actually very surprising that it was all plastic, and this is the only real metal "bumper" from the factory... I guess they planned on the spare tire being there so they were more lax?
I think it looks rugged as all hell, I'm gunna run this look till the evo fascia and D-ring mounts come in!!

Threw the new evo rear bumper fascia and D-ring mounts on today. Might I add I see why everyone loves evo mfg, seem like some pretty high quality parts!
P.S. - I can't remember the last time I had a box full of packing peanuts to play with, so there was bonus points for those as well.

Nothing new, just took some pictures and thought she was looking good today!
Still in a mental debate with myself to arb lock the rear/new shafts etc...
Or to skip the locker for now and instead truss/gusset the front end and make the swap to 35s.
I guess only time will tell, as Ive changed my mind almost every other day for a month over this decision lol

Latest update. Just ordered some Evo c-gussets, and a jks adjustable front track bar, as my front axle is about 3/8"ish to driver side.
Waiting till the snow clears to order my 35's to make it a little easier for the delivery guy (my road isn't very semi-truck friendly as it is lol.) So Hopefully ill get these gussets welded in and track bar ready to rock by the thawing season!!

Thanks man!! And yeah I couldn't believe the size of it compared to the stock one.
Kind of a pain to adjust it, I think I had it in and out about 3 times before I had it dialed in just right, seems great quality though!

Don't think I posted this yet... few months ago, the day the jack came in haha. Long story short, I get excited when new toys come in and have to play.
The dogs bone was under there, and alcohol was indeed involved.
Regardless, a valuable lesson was learned: Do not try to reverse a hilift jack without alot of weight on it. Also, the handle needs to be up before reversing (if you like your current face arrangement.)
Lastly, this handy tool will try to kill you at all costs.

Got my soon to be "winter treads" mounted on the stock rims. And surprisingly enough, the silver wheels really made it pop in my eyes. I see too many rigs on a daily basis with blacked out wheels.
So, while waiting for these 35s to get here, I decided to paint my procomp rims 2 tone! Silver with the outer lip/fake beadlock remaining black. Going to slap the clear coat on in a few minutes and peel the tape off, I'll post pics of finished product then!

Thanks!! My paint lines are a little rough up close, the lip has a pretty rounded edge on it so it was hard to mask it perfect. Few trail runs and they'll all blend right in though haha!
