Installed my LED bar. I still need to wire it, but I was pleased how it mounted up.

Specs are as follows:

- KC C-series #336 30" LED Bar
- Rago Fabrication Hidden Bumper Brackets

I need finish my fuse panel holder, mount my roll bar and space up the KC Pro Sport lamps and then get everything connected and I'll be good to go.

 

Did you do the install?

I did. They provide good instructions so as long as you take your time and follow directions you should have no problem.

 

Installed my Baja lights the other day . Thanks @memario1214

 

Looks much better than stock!

 

did you install a diff drop kit?

 

I didn’t. And feel no vibrations. I’ve read multiple mixed reviews that It should be done vs not doing It.

 

Got a gray softopper and some new falken rubitrek 265 75 16 rubber.
Love the new tires compared to the stock tires,which were toast after 25k miles.

Also unfortunately I've been dealing with the dealer to get the rear diff whine sorted out. I took a look underneath last night and rear diff is leaking.

 

Hope they take care of it soon before it becomes a bigger issue! Let us know how it goes!

 

First permanent mod complete

Thanks again @monkeyevil and victory 4x4 for the awesome product and support post purchase

 

Clean setup. Tried and true! Guys at Stellar do some great work

 

Yeah they are working on this badass project too

 

Someone broke into my truck last night and stole all of my tools. Gotta love people.

 

Are the stiffeners needed when adding a shell?

 

Added a Dometic cfx75dz yesterday, had to move it today because it was too close to the tailgate. I felt like it was getting too hot.

 

No mods today, but did take the truck out for its first "trip". Nice little drive from Tampa, Fl. to Tifton, Ga. to kick the niece out and tell her to go home, lol. Great ride, cruised nice even in the 70-80mph range. Wildpeaks put out no vibrations at all, truck was fairly quiet entire time.

Truck ran great for the entire trip. I got a lil worried on way home because I thought my hood was gonna pop up, kept seeing a slight "bounce" or so I thought from the front edge as I drove. Checked good and was securely shut so idk, maybe just flexing a bit...I was going close to 80mph and there was some studying as wind from storms so idk.

Saw a few nice Tacos on the way up, couldn't get pics but I'm sure a few were members on here. One orange Taco stood out, mesh grill with a HUGE punisher skull emblem, think I've seen it on here before. Saw two pros on the way, don't think they were impressed with my proser of a truck, ha ha.

 

Installed All-Pro steel braided brake lines in the rear, in preparation for the lift. Removal took longer than expected because there was little room around the upper bracket. A swivel line wrench would have been handy today.

 

No poser for you my friend, your truck looks great.

 

It will help stiffen bed to better support load but I also tow a boat and UTV a lot so the extra support makes me feel better.
