What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

[cbielat]

One trip and you're hooked eh? Wise choices, they are both necessary equipment if you plan to offroad with any regularity.

You mentioned on another thread you may head out again this weekend if so let me know. Chris (my nephew) and I are already talking about going back next weekend maybe we can meet up somewhere.

Yeah most definitely. My buddy will be there with his Rubicon, his uncle with his FJ and I believe his uncle's friend with another Jeep. My parts probably won't be in yet unfortunately but at least we now know the area. We are thinking Saturday.

Oh and passed 32,000 miles today. That's 32,000 in less than 12 months.

Sounds like me when I had my '05 Corolla. Drove 62k in just under two years...did the 700 mile round trip to the parents and back a couple times a month.

Pics??

A couple of notes:
I just jacked the side of the truck up to full extension and slid the bags between the spring coils. Make sure you shove them as high as they can go.
I cut the bumpers off with a pocket knife.
I installed the air valve right next to my trailer hook up. I have them connected together so they air equally.
I measured my wheel wells at the start and the driver side was 37 1/2 while the passenger side was 37 3/4 so I was pleased that the truck was fairly level to begin with.

Didn't order, wash, or plastidip anything...

But I did read through all 99 pages of this thread and created my own mod list. You guys have some BA trucks! Thanks for the inspiration and documentation in your build threads that I've bookmarked!

Great deal thanks for the hook up!

Shawn

Drove back to Kansas City from Texas (where my wife and kids live) and met up with Shawn in Wichita.

Gave him an extra Hardigg Case...anybody else want one?

Wasn't today but I forgot to post last week.

Finally finished installing my Smittybilt 10k winch with the Budbuilt hidden mount plate. Now time to finish some little things before the Summit in July.

Installed my Kenwood DNX890HD with the blacked out dash kit... (sorry for the crappy picture) but I am very excited to show you guys the final turn out.

Even through the bad picture, I can tell it's a clean set up.

Did you do it yourself? How do you like the unit so far?

Cool shots! Is last image the effect of a tilt shift lens or just photoshop? Either way awesome pictures, thanks for sharing!

Picked up my second set of Duratracs today. I really like these tires. My apartment now smells of fresh rubber.

^^^what price did you get on your duratracs if you do not mind sharing! Thanks

I posted a thread yesterday "Last day of Goodyear sale" on this. It's now over. But I got this set for a little over $800. Didn't need them right away, but the deal was too good to pass up. I'll probably have my current set on until mid/end summer, and then I'll throw this set on.

Thanks MeBe4running -- I'm usually not a fan of being in photos, but I thought these ones looked pretty cool. I checked with my wife, and the last one was taken with a TS-E 45mm.

I forgot to ask, is that the same mount that SoCal used for the light? I REALLY like the placement of the bar there and am looking at options.
