    Dobinson’s coils and shocks. SOS sliders, ditch light brackets, and front skid. Rigid ditch lights. BFG KO(dos) More minor stuff.

    Good post. Agree with you on suspension completely. Experience here with OME and Bilstein. Dobinson’s is my favorite by far.

    ahh man, im slightly guessing based on if i got the 100ft rope to begin with. But i just measured the excess and if it was 100ft to start then for the section i did it was ~33ft. The rope wasnt any larger than 100ft to begin, so ~33ft max. Hope that helps. Also, i just youtubed paracord steering wheel cover, there are a couple different braids to choose from

    I've got the same one and had the same problems at first.
    The tailgate cable needs a bit of a break in time to adjust fitting around the assist. I also had to bend the mounting bracket about 2mm to let the cable fit on the outside.

    Now everything works great.

    Bone f’n stock for now
    Installed my new to me decked system. I didn’t have all the parts for the install but ended up making two brackets to bolt to the bed and then made the shims out of a cutting board. Now I have to figure out how to bolt my second battery to it and then build my fridge slide. My dometic 75 barely barely fits up there but I have about 3/4” of room to mess with. I may have to take the cover off. I plan on building the slide as a drop slide and will start on that tomorrow. Due to the thickness I’m going to go 3/16 angle instead of my previous aluminum slide. That will also allow me to weld the locks on vs bolting them

    Replaced the clear wheel flare protector. Luckily the old film came off in one piece.

    I need to remove mine badly. 10 years old and looking dirty. Is this even worth it to replace?

    Added some lockable rear cubbies, trimmed the weather stripping to fit the roof rack.. drove through a buncha flood waters a messed up my ac compressor :D

    My neighborhood is the worst flooding area of this entire part of Houston. Thankfully I am blessed to be able to really identify the leaking areas every other week!

    Got one of the doors 75% done.
    Removed old parts, cleaned and waxed window opening, installed new window run weatherstrip, belt molding and power mirror, and cleaned the door glass.
    Found out I have a 6.5" speaker instead of the 6X9.

    I need to clay bar my door windows.
