Current project:
Boxing and reinforcing the rear section of the frame



Arb compressor mount and air tank mount. This should save a little weight with this setup vs my previous 20lb co2 setup.


Also decided to build a rear hitch into the frame. My last All Poo hitch hung so low I constantly got hung up on rocks



Also doing new leafs, a shock relocation, u bolt flip and new bump stops and longer shackles.




I also swapped out my stock 8.4" rear axle for an elocker rear end. I decided to add an axle truss and some diff armor while I had it out and then coated it some steel it.



On top of all that I'm deleting my abs as well as the lspv.

Love the headlights too, did you buy them or do it yourself?

Thanks. Yea I did the retrofit on them.

Abs delete mostly done today. Just waiting on non abs hard lines and a longer rear brake line.

Wanna do a write up on this? One of the things on my to-do list, and I've seen quite a few people ask about this over the past year or so.

Not sure if it’s just because of my shitty iPhone but I don’t get to view all the pics.

Try refreshing the screen. They should load. Sometimes it sticks for some reason.
