    Nice build!! I always really liked the Imperial Jade Mica and never found one close enough, but the Impulse Red Pearl I picked up grew on me... Whats the plan with the rear bumper? Also, what are your current thoughts after switching up the OME's in the rear for Fox Smoothies? I plan to flip u-bolts and weld shocks both to the rear of the axle... thinking of switching up shocks when that happens.

    Thanks man! I love this color! But I like how much stiffer they are than the OME but they are not too stiff at all and feel great with the weight in back. They are a little long for the stock mounts as I bottom out the driver side one too often (I think the driver upper mount is lower than the passenger upper mount) but OME were definitely the limiting factor in my rear suspension and these shocks really helped. Now its a matter of getting them recounted the way I want! And as far as rear bumper, I'm gonna have a guy local to me build me a High Clearance w/swingout/gas can mount etc.

    Ahahah I had always liked your truck since I had my white 04. So i guess I kind of duplicated your truck with minor details of difference here and there. And with all the traveling you Monte and Mike do with your CVT's. I figured that they were just tough and good for the hell I'm gonna put it through lol. That and CVT is badass and has great customer service. And picking up a rear cbi outback 1.0 with swingout... stay tuned for all this summers trip updates and other stuff...:spy:

    hahah i think that can be pretty easily done. your steering linkages from the steering wheel to the box will be the hardest thing to do but thanks to things earlier today i measured my frame hight and im sitting at 18.5 inches:eek: damn thats low

    Yeah that's what I thought...would I need high steer with a coilovered solid axle? I wouldn't think as high steer is to move the steering above a leaf sprung setup? And holy shit I'm think my truck is at like 17-17.5 with 33's and ifs lol. That would be an awesome frame height for me and a solid axle...

    Hell yeah man id love to go on adventure like you guys do! And I upgrade to a 3 foot cb antenna over 2 as I couldn't get a good swr but I really want to get HAM certified and run a decent setup. What's the difference between HAM and satellite radio?

    Ohhh duh lol! Forgot about satellite radio. But I tried tuning it constantly adjusting it and I have a very nice coax from rightchannel radios so it couldn't have been that lol. It was just too short on my truck idk why. The 3 foot tuned perfect channel 1 at 1.1 and channel 40 at 1.5 now. I need to get a new deck for my truck. Need an alpine single din so i have room for the paranoid 6 switch plate, then maybe some Sirius XM...Did you still a hole through your roof for your ham antenna?

    What unit are you running? I was just researching and keep finding one that isn't too expensive and pretty common umongsted people it would be nice for what i'd use it for. Up to 75 watts of power with 3 bands I believe...don't quote me on that as I'm still learning lol. The Yaesu FT-2900R
