[MENTION=76550]cbielat[/MENTION], great looking rig! I also plan on going LT once the audio system in my vehicle is done (I'm in Korea until next July, and I told the shop to take their time with it).

Just curious, are you running stock gears? Also, any plans/ideas to fill in the gap by the rear bumper after the body mount lift?

No stock gears. I've been running 4.56 for a couple years now. I was thinking of just buying new bumper covers to recut to fill the gaps but probably won't. It's a wheeler. The trees and rocks don't care what it looks like. I did end up cutting a little extra on the rear cover when I installed the rear bumper to begin with so that's why theres an even bigger gap after the body lift. The gaps are good to have for as much as the truck flexes. It's all documented in my build thread here.

Finally! Looking good!
I watched your phone vid, can't believe how clean and shiny your truck is.
I have so many scrapes on mine, it's kinda like primer grey now instead of Mag Grey.

Not in person, that's for sure. Theres a couple nice scratches from the driver side mirror to the tail light, passenger rear door flare has been eaten up and a multitude of scratches up the body to the tail light, passenger front door on the bottom has a long dent and gouge but covered it with touch up paint. Driver door has a dent just below the window along with a shit ton of pinstriping. The rear bumper has had its fair share of scrapes. I just try to touch the bumpers up with paint as best I can. It hasn't been washed in over a month. I used to wash and wax it religiously.

Johnny Joints / Rear Spring Spacers 9/13/2016

Installed the new Currie Johnny Joints in the Metal Tech rear links and rear spring spacers to get rid of that awful reverse rake. Seems to be sitting properly now.

Dang my truck sits way lower. Guess I need new springs in the rear and raise the front.

God that's a bad *****.

 

[cbielat]

Comparison. There is a slight grade on the street here so the truck looks slightly more raked than it was but it's extremely close.

Slight Flex Test

Little flex test since 35s, body mount and front of sliders trimmed.

NHOC 2016 Canceled / New Wheeling Plan 9/18/2016

Well, unfortunately the 2016 New Hampshire Overland Challenge was canceled on us this past Thursday evening. So bummed out abut it. There's some mixed emotions going around for the teams who had signed up. Not a total bust. Since we all took time off and planned for this event, we still had all of this time. We loosely planned a route hitting up MA, NH and VT to wheel a bit every day, beginning Tuesday. [MENTION=79132]Nyc-Runner[/MENTION], Eric, Alex, JC and I should be running into the rest of our crew along the way [MENTION=103699]lipek[/MENTION] Rich, Chris, Steve and some others. So stoked! See you guys soon.

Washed, clayed and waxed. Started packing up for the run.

Yeah buddy the party must go on! It's going to be a awesome trip can't wait!
