    Because I'm thinking of getting rid of the little winch mount and replace with a full Relentless front bumper soon.

    No you don't. Depends how you use it, and if you go extended travel in the front, especially. Might want to double check your while spec/tire size with Micha just to be sure.

    I should know. I've got about $5k of suspension sitting in boxes in my garage. :bananadead:

    1. If you get rid of yours, I am very interested. In the OEM part, too. So I would not have to cut mine. Matchy matchy ready to go.
    2. The Relentless addition would likely just mean a stronger coil, no need for re-valve.

    It's OK, you still have like 23 hours to figure this out.

    I'm no Ricky Racer. I like the snow shit we've been doing this past winter. And I like the idea of Barrett Lake, and some of the other Sierra trips I've seen here. Eagle Lake. That sorta stuff. I'm no Rubicon Ranger, either, though I don't want to limit myself too much. But I have too many other hobbies so can't go crazy for a Zombie Apocalypse Truck. Though that would be cool. But I need to think about the order in which things need to be done. Very confusing.

    you could add the UCA later on down the road since you're on stock UCAs now. Just dont crank er' up higher than you are now for the time being.

    Guilty as charged. One thing can lead to another, and often does. But doing nothing is always an available option. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    But since you have it all stripped down, doesn't it make sense to just do it all at once? Of course, that's a big ol' bag of cash we're talking about now.

    Me neither. I hear you. I've been headed toward light expo, family fun camping, Eastern Sierra, etc. I get my Rubicon kicks on YouTube. I'm focused on droop because I currently have no locker (DCLB SR5), so every inch of droop matters until I go ARB, if I ever need to where I want to go.

    Just realized you also have sliders. Any other armor? Factors into your coil choice.

    Turns out the fake beadlocks aren't magic when it comes to damage protection for the wheels. They pack dirt into the hidden voids behind themselves and also grind off the wheel finish over time. Discovered when I pulled the worst of them off to swap to a fresh one from a spare.
    So they're gone. The rings, that is.

    Can anyone with a non TRD Off Road confirm that I need both part numbers 7760 104020 and 7760 204020 to make a gas tank skid work?
