    My stepson is using the traction bar that's bolted to the rear axle as leverage and his strength to show axle wrap. The front of the traction bar isn't connected to anything in this video. ABSOLUTELY INSANE when I consider he has no where near the strength that the truck's V6 has.

    Re-painted my lower grill support with some VHT Gloss Black. I know I know, I need to calm down.

    Sorry late reply. I went with these since i was able to get them at a great price. My. Sidebars just came in and am debating if I install it or return it. I have my eye on this to lift and remove an XL rooftop tent. Debating which is needed more. Do I really need the side bars to stabilize the rtt?

    Anyone from Utah know of a website to check the roads outside of Capt Reef and Escalate? Looking for road conditions and trail difficulty. Going on a trip in March and would like to have a heads up on some of the roads/ trails out there.

    Put my RTT back on, wishing and waiting for warmer days.. especially with today pushing -30c.

    Installed Bilstein 5100 rear shocks, and Icon 1.5” lift rear expansion leaf pack. Waiting on TDotPerformance to correct their shipping error on OME springs so that I can install the front 5100s.

    Also some Fabtech UCAs.

    The best thing this mod did for me was to save my old tired knees. :) Besides using it for camping...etc.

    Installed some DD SSC2 sport flood lights on my Victory roof rack for cargo lights. Gotta figure out how to angle them down a bit since they point approx 10 degrees up.

    Nice job, I'm surprised, you would think they would angle down.

    The lights themselves are flush mount. The rear fairing of the roof rack is what’s actually angled.

    I had some pretty severe toe in after installing my front suspension a few days ago. Today I found that the rear driver side cam bolt on the LCA was clocked 180 deg from the front. I went to flip it around so that I could fix the toe for the time being before I get an alignment this weekend.. ended up bending the damn tab. :rofl:

    Looks like I might be doing some bending and welding sometime soon lol.
