Note: if you lift your 04 without wheel spacers on stock wheels you will rub the upper control arm, you will need spacers.

Only thing I needed to cut was the plastic wheel liner and I also removed the mud flaps

Considering paint: But I like being able to drive literally through bushes and branches
Considering adding the Pedal commander for better throttle body response and eco mode.
Underbody glow: lol Maybe after I did paint so it looks cool on the street

Issues:
Removed xreas system due to system leaking
Xfer case seeping gear oil
Solution was a couple oz of blue devil stop leak.

Awesome build!
How are you liking that BOLD exhaust? I have been thinking of getting the same one, but there's a pretty lacking amount of reviews. Any drone with it? Thanks!!

I love the sound of it, I mean its a v8 but its no sports car but it does sound cool. It is however a little loud but doesn't get louders than my stereo with the windows up.
