You made it! Awesome! Jealous of those snow pictures. I finally got a taste of that fresh powder for the first time down here in SoCal, and now I'm stoked to go again. Hopefully we have a Cold/Wet winter here.

you forgot to take progress pictures of your diff swap lol
You would know! I'm terrible at doing write-ups for anything for this very reason.

Small, much needed update:

35s on 17s mounted, but will be going back down to a 295/70/17 most likely. I enjoyed the power that i retain with a 33 on 4.88s, whereas the 35s put me back to the frustration I had with 33s on 4.30s.

RockyMountainRacks Matterhorn installed with an OZ-USA 36" single row, brighter than shit. Have a plano case for recovery gear, need to get off my ass and put my hilift back up there.

End lunch, back to work I go

Late as usual on the update.

Back in October I put a hole in the sidewall of one of the KO2s at Naches. Ordered up 295/70/17 Milestar Patagonia MTs and mounted them up myself at a buddy's shop, then had them road-force balanced at Heritage Wheel & Tire in Pullman, WA. They ride good, not too loud in the cab, and they kick fucking ass in the mud and snow. Also parted ways with the SRQ TRD skid plate I had, sold to another member on here, which was replaced by a set of full skids from RCI. Not much else has happened, but I've got a lot of maintenance to do and a manual swap to accomplish, look for that thread if you're interested.

Enjoy the photo dump, it's not organized chronologically

Semi annual update: Manual swapped, few other little things here and there.

Next up is either going to be an ARB RD-90 airlocker and compressor setup or duals, more likely duals though since I'm still tossing around the idea of putting a solid axle up front in the future.

Going back and forth between running adapter plates from Marlin Crawler ($1300-$1400 for the front and rear adapter plates) or getting the updated Trail Gear Trail Creeper adapter plate kit (a little over $800). Most likely going with the latter of the two. Feedback is appreciated

If you're going to go air lockers, do yourself a favor and get the twin compressor. The single works, but it's slow on air ups on 35+ tires. Unless you already have a compressor that is.
