    @Dangerousd1987 do you have trouble balancing your Coopers? I think I may have a bad one, I've had the balanced 3 time & have a shake in the steering wheel at 45-55 mph. The last time the tech told me the one on the front right needed 16oz & he's said the others were pretty good.

    I'm not sure. Had a terrible wheel shake at the same exact speeds but just got them balanced and they're near perfect now. If it resurfaces I'll let you know.

    Ok thanks! The tech told me he got the back ones near perfect so I might try to rotate the to see if the shake in the wheel goes away.

    I've done bee canyon, black mountain, Thomas mountain. The overlook on black mountain is incredible. That's where my banner photo was taken. Here's the pin for that spot.

    What a beautiful truck! 2WD Taco's FTW! I plan on using the MaxTrac spindle as well whenever I decide to lift my 2016 truck. It is a long ways down the rode before I commit to buying one but it is a for sure plan in the far future. Great build thread!

    Right when I'm positive I'm going with Cooper ST Maxx I see you're running Cooper STT Pro. Those are more for mud, yes? They looks super mean. I like it. How are they off road away from mud? It's late, I'm all twisted around with my selections now. Thanks a lot, Dustin. Haha.

    Checked out the recently reopened Maple Springs Truck Trail with @Nicklovin and @icetreye. Ran it up to Santiago Peak and then to North Main Divide Road. Fun, scenic trip. Great way to break in the new suspension.

    I didn't even notice a change. Some people say there's a lot more body roll. I didn't notice any more.

    Hey Dustin, I am in the SoCal area as well, and I am upgrading to larger tires that will require the cab mount chop. Did you do it yourself or had a shop do it?

    I actually haven't done the CMC yet. Hit up @Shmellmopwho. I believe he has done a couple and he's an awesome local resource.
