    ALL OF THEM!...Then some more.
    Nah lt hasn't caused me issues....other then allowing me to beat the crap out of him more than I should..

    It's still the oem LBJ and the bolts for me. Gonna fix that though.


    I can't say I've done anything hardcore crawling. Not yet. But what I have done it's great. Flexes very well. Though I attribute franks comfort in the rocks to that but also some how the very very flexy rear end....which I still don't know how it works as it does but somehow..

    Gotcha. I have a ton of flex in my rear suspension and it definitely makes up for the lack there of in the front. It sounds fun as hell to have the travel in both and be able to haul ass and keep your tires on the ground in the rocks. Hope you get him where you want it sooner than later :thumbsup:

    Built an antenna mount and set up the cb. Install was pretty simple, just glad the coax cable was able to fit in the trim.

    Still hate electrical work

    8D8792E7-B77C-4155-8AE3-3227B067E484.jpg anyone in need of ‘03 headlight lens or guts or passenger side mounting/adjustors? The lens are pretty clouded up - I replaced the DS as the adjustors were smashed when I rebuilt the frontend, then bought a new one for the PS.

    I’m gonna toss otherwise, just pay shipping.

    Not certain how I came up with this idea but it worked remarkably well - only 1 tiny curse trying to pull the wrench out of the rubber.

    Snipped the zipps on the inserted side, added 4 zipps to the left side & bam - done.
