    Hiya. Sorry, 1st post was in response to a forum closing down.

    So.. been on the trails since 2009 with it; it's a trail limo. 2006 DC Long Box 4.0 auto 4X4 (duh)
    Nothing below frame is really stock any more. or is it above? meh.

    I don't have a build thread, my gawd that would be awful. So this one-time post is a readers-digest version:

    • Suspension: 10-pack Expo leafs with U-bolt flip, Custom Rad-flow 2.5 remote resi; Timbrens bumpstops x 4, Fox front CO / Eibach 650 coils with remote resi; sway-bar remove mod; moog greasable lower ball joints.
    • Powertrain: ECGS made ARB air locker, and <obviously> OBA to go with that; EBC Slotted & dimpled GD series front rotors, Green-stuff 7000 series pads. SS brake lines; rear diff relocate breather mod; 18,000 k Tranny cooler after-market; Gator belt. Assorted wheels on Land-Cruiser 80 series rims <yum>.
    • Lighting: HID: 4300K Philips 85122+ bulbs, Morimoto H4 Harness & 35w Ballasts, FX-R Projectors (3" lens), Apollo 3.0 Shrouds, Amber LED Halos behind, Matte black housings, Gloss black Shrouds. Light-Force 6" Amber Dish x 2 on light bar. 866 Rear light mod. Fogs any-time on on mod.
    • Comms: CB / VHF / UHF / 6 meter licensed Ham (Yaesu Gear). oh, and toy useless FRS.
    • Recovery: Allpro front bumper with shackles x 3; warn 8000 winch; remote under hood winch solenoid & kill switch mod. Class 3 hitch bolted in rear, 7-pin relocate mod. 60" Hi-Lift bolted to bed with Rac-mount kit. Bubba rope & too many straps to count.
    • Armour: Full All-pro slider set (IFS Front skid bolted to the bumper, tranny skid, T-case skid); All-Pro steel bumper; Yota-Fab Custom sliders with kick-outs welded to frame.
    • DC Power: Northstar AGM 27-F battery, 190 amp alternator, Blue-Sea fuse box running all dedicated mods including radio & 12 VDC power to bed.
    And a bunch of other little niceties like the lighted 4x4 Selecter mod, bed tie-downs x4 extra, etc.


    Cheers from Alberta.
    See you on the trails. Tread Lightly, RESPECT Designated Trail closures.

    We'll I've been on here posting since 2008. :p

    All the "Bruh" talk had me confused. I'm always at RDRH; sadly we just don't get the time to stop by anymore. Have to do it outside paid hours!

    Truck looks great. Just need to get you some bigger rubber now.

    Wow, I'm really quite humbled by all the + comments.

    Thank you very much. Means a lot.

    I hope I can contribute in some small way.
