    scored some 35" cooper stt's with 5000 miles for dirt cheap so i picked em up. Did a lot of trimming and threw em on, so far so good, just waiting on gears and arb's. ordered 4.88's and arb's front and rear, can't wait til they show up should be in day after tomorrow! next is suspension, trying to decide on what to do. I'm torn between a 2" over or 3.5" kit, would love the travel of the 3.5" but I'm scared of the width, 2 might already be a lot. I'm leaning toward the 2" tc, was going to order the all pro til they said it would be 4-6 weeks to get a kit, going to check on the tc. any opinions would be awesome, i havent seen many running the tc.

    I can't remember exactly, I'll see if I can find out, I gave him a few ideas and from there he went to work. It turned out better than I had hoped.

    love the bed brad! looks really good! i like the track flaps. lol you cut up an old sled track?

    nice Rzr 900. those are pretty bada$$, but not many places around here to ride that i can even top out the rhino.

    post some pic of the rzr in the ATV/UTV BS.

    haha ya i needed flaps and didn't have anything else handy, they do the trick and actually ended up a good fit for the truck so i left 'em. Love the rzr I'll have to throw some pics up over there, we're lucky to have great terrain here for the rzr's but a lot of folks run the rhino also, those things are tough as hell! wish the rzr was built that well.

    yeah. we got it to do some work around the property we have 5 acres, maybe 5.5 we looked at the Rzr, but just did not fit our needs. and like honda and yamaha. i have jumped it and crashed into trees that were like 3” in diameter and it just broke the tree down and i keep going, just a small scratch on the front bumper.:D i have some plains for new CDI and maybe a clutch to make it faster just for fun.

    Thanks guys, pickin it up Monday (hopefully) from having the gears and arbs setup. Need to install the second battery, now trying to decide between camburg lt or tc 2' mt kit. Any opinions? I'll use this truck everywhere, not just fast desert. My hang up is if I'll regret not going the full lt, idk how much difference there is width wise, or how much you will notice I should say.

    IMHO. don’t go full LT unless you going going to be doing high speed desert runs. i would never go LT, for 1, any off roading i would be doing would be like 30mph or under.2, makes the truck to wide.

    Thanks guys should have the gears and lockers done by Monday, very excited for that. Then I need to install my dual battery. I'll be doing camburg lt or TC 2" kit, having a very hard time deciding which way to go, don't know if I should go mt or all out. I appreciate any opinions. Plan to order by tursday, Thanks!
