    I ran the truck through the biggest stuff pismo has to offer and it tracks straight and almost feels at home in the whoops I could find. It rides really nice with four people and two spares. :) I am buying bumps for the rear with my next paycheck to really calm the rear down in bigger stuff. The front is out performing the rear as of right now with just a king 8" CO... Dirt Designs builds suspension kits to take the rough stuff and eat it up... it impressed me yet again now that I can push it. This front kit handles, period. Front cycling 14.5" strapped 4wd, Rear cycling 15"

    Thank you sir! Likewise, I like your bedsides. I'm in the market for new bed sides if these things keep cracking

    You running a rear shock relocation hoop or something similar? I don't see the bypasses go through the bed.

    It's just a rattle can paint we get from minors, the color is hammered bronze. Tons of cool colors. The hammered finish is what makes it look noooice.

    Did I see that you are patching the bed if your truck to get rid of the tire carrier holes?
