Stock Photos
 

Bought the truck brand new at the end of November 2011. Started the bolt on build almost immediately and has been a work in progress ever since.

Shortly after, I purchased my Radflo 2.0 kit front and rear with SPC's Light Racing UCAs and 2" rear lift springs through Overland Warehouse, 285/70/17 Goodyear Duratracs and 17" Konig Countersteer wheels from FN Wheels.

Wheels/Tires/Suspension - First set up.

Didn't like the stock antenna so I looked for something to delete it. This is what I came up with and stuck it in the base hole.

Of course I had the notorious driver side lean and corrected it with a spacer in the rear.

After my first wheeling trip, it was evident that I needed protection. I bought skids from RCI(front engine, transmission and transfer case). I had also acquired an OEM full gas tank skid from a TE to hold me over for a bit. Sliders came from Metal Tech and are the OPOR brand.

Sliders

Later on down the road, it was time for new brakes. I went with the EBC Ultra Slotted Rotors with EBC Green Stuff pads. Also decided to change my hubs and all as I thought they were worn. Turns out that wasn't the case and learned what it was after much more research. I will touch on that in a later post.

After a couple years of driving trails, I've been learning more and more and decided where I wanted to be. I chose to go with Metal Tech's long travel rear set up utilizing Radflo 2.5" shocks. This kit consists of Radflo 2.5" long travel spec shocks, Metal Tech dual rate springs in the heavy version, Metal Tech off set lower links, Metal Tech upper links, Metal Tech extended bump stop brackets and extended stainless steel brake lines. I also bought double disconnect rear sway bar end links(have been more of a pain in the ass than anything).

Rear Long Travel Continued

Sway bar end links

After some trips and banging up my stock rear bumper cover, I decided to go with CBI's rear bumper. Opted not to go with the swing out at the time but now I'm sometimes wishing I had.
