    I haven't heard about issues with spindles yet. How easy are they to bend? Gussets are cheap and I know a welder... So I could probably get them welded in before the trip if bends are pretty common.

    Ripped off all four mudflaps. Scratches all down both sides 6112’s up front on 3rd notch 5100’s in back with Toytech 1” block Skids & sliders from SOS Concepts I got rid of the 1” block and put on Wheelers 1 1/2” progressive AAL. SPC UCA. Be sure your standing on the drivers side when reading the instructions! I swapped sides so many times that I can swap UCA’s in 15 minutes. I put in the 3/4” spacer to eliminate the Taco Lean, and just got my 4th alignment. Traded the OEM rims for 17” Sport rims and a bora bora 1” spacer. I got my Firestone 285/70/17 MT2’s. Pelfreybilt gas tank skid and hi-lift jack should be here Friday. Looking at bumpers, but I think they will wait for next year. So far I’m happy with my build. I’ve done it all myself, leading to a lot of cussing and frustration, but it’s all mine.
    Want to trade rims?

    They’re nice rims. I don’t blame you.

    Getting them welded is the tricky part. Make sure it’s done right. You are welding to cast, which has a number of potential issues.

    How easy are they to bend? It takes a pretty good jolt, but I bent mine going under 5mph, so it’s definitely not out of the question. But I was also in a place I probably shouldn’t have been... I wouldn’t worry about it, and that’s definitely not the first armor I would get unless you’ve already bent one (coming from a guy without upgraded skids or sliders), but it’s your truck, and an upgrade is an upgrade.

    I might, for once, actually bring my panty dropper to this meet. Probably not, though.
