4.88 gears came in this week along with a new open carrier thanks to Eric at Northridge4x4. I was up in the air about the locker - I'm sure I'll regret it the first time I go out.
Planning on doing some wheeling this weekend; photos to follow!

Went out and played on Saturday up near Lakewood, WI. Very impressed, 4LO was incredible. Excited to see what it's like with 315s and the 2.5" lift.
Also got to try out the new pressure washer; it's the little things in life...

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered some tires. Went with 315/70-17 Nitto Terra Grappler G2's - should arrive any day now. Tentative lift install date is 8.22!

Stopped by Northridge4x4 in Longmont, CO today while on travel for work; some crazy rigs in the parking lot:

Terra's are all mounted up - heading to Cali for work for just over a week, then it's lifting time!

Well folks, today is the day. Taking some time off this afternoon to start the lift; looking to get at least the rear end completed which shouldn't be a problem. Stay tuned for updates/photos! :rock:

Build looks great so far, cant wait to see it lifted on those new meats. The lift install isnt that bad if you just take your time :thumb:

Turned out great - very pleased with the quality of parts and the ride. Played around with the idea of removing the rear bumper and putting EVO d-ring mounts in but that will come later.
