The first little offroad trip... muddin!

 

[the_josh]

next up the cornfed spacers

next was back to the black safari bar and i added the surco safari rack with another set of piaa 520's on the rack

 

[the_josh]

a little poster i made

by this time i was done with the cornfed and ready for a real suspension, so picked up the OME medium duty setup

after

two piaa lights up top were not enough so i added a full set along with the hilift extreme and a mount to hold it

then i switched out my stock headlamps and tails for the black ones

also added the rear bumper guard, this will work til i can find a full rear bumper that i actually like

better shot of the hilift mount

VERY NICE! I have been eyeballing the BudBuilt skids....you might have sold me!

How did you mount your Hi-Lift to that rack, I need to get that accomplished with my Runner. I currently have it set up for the axe on one side, and the shovel on the other...but with the hi-lift joining the team, it needs a spot too.

Yeah the skids are pretty slick, they are working out great and look amazing, I got to break them in two weeks ago in mojave, I actually just ordered the diff guard this morning in matching orange.

I have the surco safari rack and the hi lift mount is a option for it, there are several other universal mounts out there, you just have to find them, defender racks and also bajarack make some for their racks too, my whole rack including the axe/shovel mount, 4 light mounts, hi lift mount and the whole basket and cross bars is going up for sale soon if anyone is interested...

 

[alaskaman]

Gotta hand it to you man. A man a his vehicle. :trophy:

 

[Fo_SheeZy]

You sir, have the sickest & most badass 4th Gen I've ever seen... One day I hope mine will look something like that.

 

[BlairB]

Looking good as always, Josh!
