geekhouse23's "LIFE'S WAITING TO BEGIN" Overland & Home build and all the Adventures in between!

Man I can't wait for my front bumper gets here. Every time you post that pic with it on there my pants get tight

 

Which one did you get, I got one with a receiver hitch, more useful IMO!

 

Led bar cutout and winch cutout with 2 d ring mounts

 

Like this but with led bar cutout

 

I thought about a winch bumper, just didn't want to carry a winch full time, gonna get a winch cradle so I can use it front or rear...

 

I just said fawk it and got one to hold my winch

 

MUST. RESIST.

Those curbs are tricky

looks killer!

With wanting to upgrade to C/O's and resi's in the future, I figure I might as well shell out now or risk not doing it in the future.

 

Your truck, you set it up how you want it, YOLO!

 

My wife thinks differently

 

Ordered the rear shocks last night! HUGE thanks to Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road for all the help and, I'm sure, headaches of dealing with me! I ended up going with these:

985-24-010 31.050 18.950 12.100 SM3 ES3

They are NOT RR's but there is a reason behind it..well a couple reasons actually.

1) Save money..holiday season and all; obvious
2) In the short term, with the money I saved on these by not going RR's, I can finish purchasing all my CAI parts in order to make this particular CAI system 100% reversible
3) In the long term, I want to eventually (years down the road) upgrade to Icons in the front. Now, if the FOX RR's that I would have put in now, were showing their age and I was so inclined to just purchase rear Icons to match the front etc etc, I would have removed and sold the FOX RR's anyhow.
4) The Billies I was looking at were eye/eye mounts for some reason (confirmed by Marie) so I would need to spend another $50 on that eye to stem adapter. But for $30 more, I could get a stem/eye mount shock that is a little better quality than the Bilstein shock. Figured a better quality shock will last me until the Icon swap down the road.

CAI should still be arriving Friday still and the other, remaining, parts will be ordered pending SOS shackle flip shipment confirmation. Again, according to Boogyman, 10 weeks out when I placed my order and in 2 days it will only have been 3 weeks..I'm just sitting here like

 

12" shock in stock location, I'm curious what your up travel will be and travel numbers in general will be.

 

Bilstein 5125s FTW, 12" stroke
Coll:17.91
Ext: 29.7

 

I'm looking at icon or fox rr

 

do you happen to know the length of the stock mounts eye to eye?

 

just say no to icon

 

Why? I'm goin with icon 700 pound coils with resis

 

Fox get fox instead of icon

 

Same here..can't wait to start hacking her ass end up!

Yea, that way Andrew can confuse me, you, Scooter and OldSchool
