Ocmedic build thread
So I purchased an 07 sports ed about a week ago and for about 2 months before that was reading threads and messaging people on here learning everything I could. After all that I finally pulled the trigger on the initial parts to start my build. There are honestly so many things I want but did the best I could with what I can afford for now. Here is all the parts I ordered:
-5 Method Race Wheels MR301 Black
-5 DuraTrac's
-Radflo 2.5 Extended Travel Kit w/ OW valving
-LR UCA's
-RB 1.5in BL
-Shrockwork's front bumper (which I lucked out on and already got)
-Baja Rack w/ light bar, tire carrier, gas can carrier, shovel and axe mount, and hi-lift mount
-4 PIAA 520 Xtreme White ATP's
-2 PIAA 510 Ion Crystal Fog's
If I have enough money left over I think I am going to get some DeMello Sliders as well.
But that's it for the initial build but I am really stoked on it, I think it is a good start. Everything should be installed next Friday except the Baja Rack which is back ordered a couple weeks. So will update with pictures when things start to get put on.

Looks like you caught the bug before you even bought the 4R! That stuff should be sweet. Be sure and do a build thread!

Can a MOD please change the name of this thread to "OCMEDIC BUILD" so I don't have to start a new thread.

The stuff that has arrived so far, was lucky enough to get the bumper off someone on 120 that had ordered it and while he was waiting for it to come found a used one for way cheaper. So I was just able to go grab it.

Nice. You are lucky you didn't have to wait for your bumper like the rest of us did.
Are you going with 33s or 35s seing you are doing a 1.5 in body lift too.
