Forgot I had my hitch mounted vice mount and vice clamp attached and drove around town with the damn thing flapping in the breeze.
Good times.

Not sure if anyone is on the FB group here, but I went out and did this. Lets just say FB have a field day since i left it open to their imagination on what happened and what i did lol
Before any weekend 4x4 warrior chimes in, this was done on purpose to show crawl control works.
I have all the recovery gear need to get this done alone, but wasnt needed. Crawl control did its thing and worked like a charm.
Yes i have a winch, shovel, hi lift, max trax, straps etc.
Tell you this much its not easy trying to get it stuck especially on 295/70 ridge grapplers

New Lift Install
Nice work there. I like the rear bump stop extender. Very simple. Did you fab that or buy it?
In January I installed an ICON Stage 7 Tubular lift with the new Delta ball joint, tubular rear axle links and remote reservoir. It was a lengthy process with lots of integrated parts to consider, KDSS being the biggest factor.
Your 2018 is way too clean. You need to get out and get that rig dirty.
Suspension install is almost complete.
Made some prelim coilover adjustments and will drive it around a bit. When the new swaybar brackets arrive I'll get them installed and then go for an alignment in a couple of days.

Installed some Husky WeatherBeaters today. I thought the OEM mats were good coverage... world of difference! They fit perfect!

Are these actually noticeably better than the all-weather mats that came with the truck? I'm thinking of getting some new ones myself. Also, is the back mat one piece like the OEM ones?

The extender was part of the original suspension kit from Overland Warehouse. I just scrubbed the blocks clean before re-installing.
Once I get the front sway bar in I can go play a little but the tires are a limiting factor

Huge differences:
- better coverage
- better material (for long use and cleaning)
- better texturing for mud/dirt capture
- better support pins (keep them in place)
- better cost - I got mine on Amazon cheaper than OEM all-weather mats.

I've had the same set for 3 years now. I just took them out this past weekend and scrubbed all the crap off of them in my utility sink. They look good as new again.

Yes, I have the Huskys as well and replaced the OEM rubber ones and they're night and day better than the OEM ones, much better coverage and a lot better material

Put on 5100s all around(2.5) and icon 2" coil springs in the rear!
It only took 6.5 hours including having to redo 2 things and go rent spring compressors haha.
Feels so much bigger now, time for new tires haha!

As you can see from all the replies = Yes they are noticeably better then the all weather mats (I had the all weather ones before these). I found mine on Amazon for $109 and yes the back one is one piece. The only thing I did different was cut the spiked nubs off the edges where it lays over the door jams (since they won't go through the hard plastic....)
