    Thanks! I have the 3rd gen offroad billies on right now - 5100s and Icon RXT leafs are in the mail, hopefully going on next week.

    No kidding, I'm happy to report no rubbing or clearance issues!

    Been working on a project to convert my normal 8 button switch panel (auxbeam,mictuning, whatever random name brand on Amazon) to a much cheaper S-POD alternative. Uses this style that is found all over and after 6+ weeks of learning to code and deciphering what signals it uses I finally figured it out. Probably going to move it from my center area to the A pillar once I decide how to mount it, the case has a RAM ball mount so that I can ideally mount anywhere I want. Next up is to work on the bluetooth functionality and create an app for the phone, but I'm tired of working on software and not hardware so I'm going to be rewiring my auxiliary items before I start on those.

    Replaced both upper ball joints. The steering is so much tighter without the wandering all over the road. Sorry no pics, but great memories.

    Installed my relentless fab tailgate today. Love it. I used window seal caulk around the edges to seal it. The topper window sits further back in a better place because of it. Also applied some wd40 to the rear suspension to get it to stop squeaking. I glanced over the frame and the body mounts and I wasn’t loving what I was seeing. Body mounts are still hanging in there but boy the frame actually has some separation now.

    I wonder if that’s the way to go for wider track
    -possibly convenient if able to drop off for paint front flares and maybe bedsides
    -the black wider fake bolt flare add ons seem like a ridiculous price for what they are. $500. I forget what they’re called.
