    LCA skids? Don't think there are any after market LCA for the first gen unless I do long travel.

    I don't have A-trac so I need a front locker for traction.

    I love the crawler boxes and the 4 speed Altas. It adds to much controllability to the rig that it's worth it.

    I never used my front locker :notsure:

    No aftermarket LCA except LT sadly for us so I guess you'd have to get the BAMF LCA skids as I do not know of any others

    Guess I'll be looking at the BAMF LCA skids

    Yep. BAMF LCA skids are expensive but I have other priorities right now.

    Honestly I probably wouldn't take your truck on it until its solid axled, assuming you have pretty open access to your dads solid axle FJ.

    I wish I had open access to the FJC. It was built as a toy and it still is a toy. I'm allowed to drive it, but when it comes to the trails, my dad will probably put his foot down and say no.

    Waiting on Ballistic Uniball's to come back into stock before I build my prototypes. But I'm hoping to sell them after I'm comfortable with them and have beat the shit out of them.

    We'll see what happens with the prototype haha. There's probably a reason no one has done this yet

    They're definitely something I'll look at in the future, but right now I want to get my winch up and running soon. Probably after that will be coil gussets, spindle gussets, cam tab gussets and maybe a snorkel.

    I hope to get my winch in this weekend pending how my leg feels. Maybe start tinkering with my OBA :spy:

    Still need spindle gussets tho :anonymous: and rear frame plates before Pelfreybilt gets the rear bumpers out

    What winch did you go with?

    Just box your frame :boink:

    Definitely something to think about, but right now during the school year for me I need to keep the truck in one piece so I can get to school.
