My wife went to look at her while I was deployed in Afghanistan.



Love these seat covers.


This rolling tonneau cover is on point as well.


Paid the man, and she finally made it home.


The paint wasn't very good.


So a new paint job was soon to come.




Custom Florida TRD decals made it come together nicely.


Some fishing and 4 wheeling with my bothers.


I got a Rolling Big Power front Grille, Westin Bull Bar, and some Halo Projector HID Lights.



In Key West.


Our Cabin in the Smokey Mountains.


The Truck pretty much had no mods done to it for about 2 years.


Yosemite National Park.


I got orders to 29 Palms, California and I realized much more needed to be done.


Building again, and started with a Frontrunners Outfitters Slimline II Roof Rack and a 40 inch Light Bar.



Decided the stock suspension wasn't going to cut it. Purchased the FOX Racing 2.5 Factory Series RR Coilovers with Camburg Racing Uniball UCAs.


And the Fox Racing 2.0 PB rear shocks.


Out with the old.



Here is the new front suspension with the UCAs. I decided to upgrade the brakes as well, drilled and slotted rotors with some racing pads.





The rear shocks mounted.


Trail Armor
All-Pro Offroad APEX Series 3 Hoop Front Bumper



Taking 2.5 inches off the fenders all the way around. Was a little nervous with the first cuts.


No going back now.



Driver side.


Passenger side.


Cab Mount Chop


After many weekends of building, it was finally time for some wheeling.
Big Bear, California. But First, new wheels and tires. Method Race Wheels 17 inch Double Standard wheels and some fresh Nitto Terra Graps.






Vacation to Red Rock, NV



We bought a secondary offroad vehicle so the mods on the truck were at a halt again while I worked on the Jeep. Oh finally had the rock sliders that sat in my garage for months welded on.


Sometimes it snows in the desert.


Frontrunner Outfitters Featherlite RTT.





Bed Rack was needed, All-Pro Offroad Pack Rack went on. Shortened 5 inches and custom mounted to work with my rolling tonneau cover.




Camping trip to Last Chance Canyon.



A larger RTT was needed so I called up Bobby at Cascadia Vehicle Tents and had the Mount Hood RTT delivered to me while I was at TDS 2015.


How I have my Axe, Shovel, and HiLift mounted.




Bumpstops


Pelfrybilt Gas Tank Skid

 

Nice rig but you need to get some updated pics on here man lol

 

I have a bunch of photos to post still. I don't know if you know this but uploading full sized images is a pain.

 

Does this meet your standards Adam?

 

haha...yea man, thats fuckin awesome!! good pics too

 

Great looking truck man. What bump stops are those in the rear?

 

Mounted gear in the back looks good man

 

These are the Energy Suspension Heavy Duty Bumpstops. I dont know the quality of them yet but they were really cheap. Ill update you once I take them out on a few runs. The link below is for the bumpstops.

$86 Energy Suspension 9.9109G 2-1/2" Heavy Duty Bump Stop - Pack of 2

http://www.amazon.com/Energy-Suspen...&sr=1-9&keywords=energy+suspension+bump+stops

 

Good deal....I've been running for about 2 years or so with no bumper stops so it's about time I get some.

 

Yea I kinda did the same thing because I installed airbags to toe a trailer across country, they required me to cut the factory bump stops off. I didn't have a gas tank skid either and I decided it was time for me to get one of those as well. Thank god I didn't puncture that plastic gas tank.

 

Yeah the off road came with a factory gas tank skid.....even though it's just a plastic skids that I've torn up now

 

I wish I had the offroad. You have that factory e-locker in the rear don't you? I just have a useless hood scoop. haha

 

Haha yeah my e-locker has come in handy quite a few times

 

I bet. Im in the market for a locker. I really like the ARB but holy $$$$$$$.

 

Yeah id like to get a front locker but that will wait for a while lol

 

Nice looking skid man!

 

Are you getting one soon? Now that I have a gas skid and rear bumps, when are we going to venture out again?

 

Dude what a sick truck!! Very nice. Great pictures too.

 

Thanks man you have a great looking taco as well. Gotta let me know how your custom rear bumper turns out. May have to make 2 haha. Been wanting a swing out for awhile now. I haven't updated my thread in awhile I've done a few for things to it. My light bar was stollen so i bought another and got some dually's for my fog light holes. Gonna put some OME leafs on this weekend as well.

 

Haha thanks bro! Will do, I'm stoked to make more progress on it and hoping it comes out nicely. Dude that sucks you got your light bar stolen! But Glad you were able to get a new one. Post up pics of all the new stuff man! Definitely a super awesome ride you've got!
