​

Used to drive this thing

Did some small stuff to keep myself occupied, then started real stuff...​

​

​

Threw on my Kobalt toolbox. Then got a MetalMiller spare tire carrier. One of my favorite things so far. Great quality, and make the spare extremely accessible. Mostly it just looks awesome.​

​

​

Threw on some Spidertrax spacers


Then finally after almost two years with the truck, got it lifted! Instead of getting a kit I just put together everything based on what I use the truck for and what I want out of it. ​

​

^^ Before and After ^^​

​

​

​

My dog loves my truck too haha​

​

​

Anyway, that's it for now. I'll post more as I add on.
Any suggestions, comments or questions lemme know.

 

Check latest post on the thread for most current updates! I add posts as I go...

 

this truck looks like the twin brother of mine.

 

Looks nice man

 

Haha awesome! Must be a very handsome truck

 

Thanks!

 

Here's a new picture that shows off its beautiful rear end



And here's the Smittybilt receiver hitch shackle my lady got me for my birthday

​

 

clean truck, i like the spare mount

 

Thanks man! love your 84

 

Took my mud flaps off today



​

 

Did the rear diff breather relocate mod this afternoon. i've had the parts in the back seat of my truck since november haha, never got around to it until now. here are the results:









super easy to do. ​

 

Changed the position of my spare to right behind the cab:

 

Took it on a nice trip of mud and trails with my friend's JK on 35s.
Unfortunately, I don't have any good action shots, but whatever. Enjoy







Helping this young man jump his jeep. That's him right there. Older cherokee, said he got it for $300. Oh really? I couldn't tell by the like-new interior!




These guys got super stuck. Took forever to get them out (no me, somebody else got them.) Bed filled with people. They were cool about it, it was funny. Happened when I was parked weird to get to the jeep to jump it, so don't mind the weirdly tucked wheel.


Westward ho, hoe



That's my buddy sitting on the spare, and my other friend's JK behind me. This place has a few miles of trails in the woods, but also a mudpit/obstacle course type area.





Had a great time, but now i've got some steering wheel vibs at highway speed. Hoping that a more thorough cleaning of behind the wheels will hopefully fix that.​

 

you in charlotte?

 

Nope, up in good old Ohio.

 

haha my bad. your pic <-- looks like Charlotte's skyline

 

Oh haha, that's Cleveland. I was just in NC last week though!

 

I dig the way that looks!

 

Thanks man! It is really not in the way of my vision somehow, and I love the way it looks too!
