    Pulling bash plates and the front bumper off this weekend. All too heavy for the OEM suspension parts that are on right now. Might pull the glass fenders at the same time. Going to be really weird looking soon.

    Thinking about parting with some of my BD lights, the pods and a 20” bar to be sure. Just have to find the box that they are stashed in before I commit to making a listing.

    Damn this 2015 @RelentlessFab bumper is freakin’ heavy duty. Thing is going to look awkward without it.

    A six year product review on @RelentlessFabrication bash/skid plates. I’ve abused these, seriously. Ask my mates that’s wheel with, I intentionally drop the weight of the truck onto them, slide the whole trucks weight on them down obstacles, and use them to help pivot the truck right or left. Other than some surface rust, scratches, and one dent that I pounded out with a sledge these are just as good as new. Lots of different folks offering up plates but I stand by Eric and won’t hesitate to refer people that want the best to him.

    Do the exhaust reroute and get the flat belly plates from him. You won’t regret it.

    Feel like a jerk today. Called the house to make sure the boy was up for school from dialysis forgetting that he’s off today.

    I think I missed something. Why are you unbuilding this great build?

    Check my build thread...too much to list.
    From what I gather, shock rebuild led to stocks getting put back on. Heavy armor is killing stock suspension which means remove it.

    Seems like a lot of work just for waiting for a shock rebuild. Is there a huge wait at whatever shop you sent them to?

    Gotcha. If I ever get rebuildable front coilovers I'll be sure to keep the OME's with 886's to fill in during rebuilds.

    It’s $125 a pair at @Downsouth Motorsports. Not expensive at all.
