    I have no idea why this thread is called the "slow build"...you've out modded me in 2 months.

    Amber cover looks awesome though! Time to blind people :D

    I swear in the beginning I had no intention to do what I've been doing. It's gotten out of control but in a good way of course! But now I got the fam involved now.... I got the lens from my kids for fathers day my birthday is coming up and i got my wife to order me wheeler bumps for all 4 corners...of course those are temporary until I order the Icon hydraulic/air bumps :)


    Jelly?? :D

    Did the trailer harness relocation since I hit the crap out of it on my last offroading trip.

    [​IMG]

    Here is a shot of the back side. I decided to use the stock existing bracket to hold it in place. only downside is the bolt heads are exposed on the outside of the bumper. Does not bother me at all and i plan on getting a HC bumper soon anyways.

    [​IMG]

    Also painted my dust light lens with Duplicolor metalcast anodized Yellow paint. I have a yellow H3 bulb in it but wanted to yellow it up even more. Worked like a charm.

    I just added the
    $77 D29XL Leaf Spring
    D29XL leaf to my Dakars. I am now measuring 25 3/4 center of the hub to bottom of the fender. Fronts are at 26 from hub center to bottom of the fender. Couple of pics:

    Hey Ryan.... Took me about an hour and half by myself didnt strip out shit and used the same centering pin. All I can guess is that the Dakars must come with better grade centering pins and i was wrenching on them pretty hard to tighten them up. So not all AAL's are bad :)
    Should be getting my ubolt flip kit any day now. Gonna wait to put them on when my Wheeler bumps show up.

    Truck looks sick bro. Gotta question for ya though. Are you running wheel spacers with those 16" wheels and maxtrac spindles. I have 17's on mine with 295/70/17 w/ spindles. I would like to go to a 16" wheel and 75's. But not sure if I will need spacers??

    No spacers at all. As long as your wheels have 4.5 inches or less of backspacing they will clear the spindle. Only issue is if you go with steel wheels I've heard some of them may rub the brake caliper. Alloy wheels won't have that problem.
