    Those are the ones I got at lowrange. Looked identical to the ones on there which I presume were original.

    This ^^^

    Will require a 27 and a 28 mm box end wrenches and a large crescent. It will be a lot easier if you can use Tim's lift.

    When you wash it your supposed to also at least wipe down the front bumper and the ratshit skid. Just sayin...

    So i met up with my good buddy Marc and we ran Shoshone Lake trail again. One of my favs. My suspention is shot to hell though, i need new shocks..BAD. However, i hit WAY less this go around with the 35s compared to my 33s. It was super super fun. One of the best wheeling trips i have done.

    We then did some exploring in Sinks Canyon up Wolf trail and other roads was GORGEOUS!

    don't have a ton of action shots as its a bit harder to shoot a lone :p but still got some!

    I also ripped off my awning :laugh: Hit a tree with it :rolleyes: So will have to try and fix it and maybe come up with a new removable mount.

    Marc is ready to go!
