Redoing the Rear End
Should probably update this baby.
I've been busy getting the rear bumper to where I really want it to be. I'm 99% happy with my custom touches. Just missing a place to mount my hi lift (coming soon), and a solution for mounting a 2 gallon gas can (so far my attempts have been failures).
I know these are bad pics, but you get the idea. I took the 3 gallon gas rotopax off of my secondary swing out and bolted a 5 pound propane tank mount and a single 5 gallon jerry can holder. I'm pretty satisfied with the outcome.
Also just so happens that 2 rotopax fit nicely in the jerry can holder.
I also rebuilt the rear omega shocks and swapped my toytec superflex HD springs for some Icon 3" overland springs. They support the tent, bumper, and full load fairly well. Threw some Icon Shock Shaft Guards on as well to hopefully help with pitting on my shocks. That was the reason my passenger side blew out.

A little lighting work
This was a big deal to me and I'm happy with the turn out.
The previous owner swapped HID's into the factory fog light housing. No big deal, I really liked them off road since they were amber colored, but they blinded people on the road so I never used them. They also started to melt completely haha.
I contacted a rigid distributor who was able to swap a pair of the SAE/DOT approved lenses to some Amber Duallies to get me a "Street Legal" cutoff.
I like the turnout!

Trip Report and Future Plans
My GF and I took the Runner up Bee Canyon near idyllwild. Pretty views, easy trail normally. But it was raining and snowing and we decided to turn back before getting stuck in the mud alone. We had to be in Idyllwild for christmas dinner.
It was a very white Christmas though!
Last trip I did was Anza Borrego for my buddy's bachelor party and it was a blast.
Really a fan of how the rear end is set up now
Future plans:
I have King Coilovers with Clickers coming in soon, and a full length Prinsu roof rack. Can't wait to get it all set up.
That's all I got.
Oh my superflex HD coils are for sale. 70 bucks to a good home.

Another Trip Report at Overland Expo 2017
Just some pics of Flagstaff and Sedona
Stopped in Havasu on the way there and the way back as a halfway point.
Flagstaff camping is always great. Made some new friends as well.
Got to set up the full camp kitchen utilizing the propane tank on the bumper and the 5 gal jerry can as a faucet with the electric pump.
Made the trip to Sedona and did Broken Arrow
