    Ditched my cheapo Amazon reverse lights for some flush mount rigid ignites! Also derped my emblems today and installed my KB Voodoo remote start. Took me about an hour with doing all soldered connections which is wayyy better than any other remote I've ever installed

    I'd offer to measure but I have about 150lbs of winch and lights on the front of my truck already... I think that make it sink by about 1"

    Got some work done this weekend

    Icon CDCV Coils w/ 700lb springs @HeadStrong Off-Road
    Icon uniball UCAs
    Gusseted spindles @glorifiedwelder
    ECGS bushing

    I left the coils as set from the factory and only got about 1" of lift. The preload is maybe 1/2" so plenty of room to go higher :D

    Thanks to @JerryTaco for steering me towards the 700lb springs. With the winch and skidplates they ride amazing!

    Out back I just have Icon 2.0 RR shocks with 1.5" blocks for now.. stay tuned for more

    Air bumps completed on one side! I don't wish those rivets on my worst enemy. 2.5 hrs to do one side. Followed ICONs suggestion of cutting a cross and then the air chisel which kinda worked. Ended up cutting the head off 2 of the rivets with a thin cut off wheel.

    Then had to drill all the way thru with a 3/16 bit. Partially drill with a 3/8 and then used a 7/16 to get all of the head off before I could punch them through. What a pain!

    Getting my S2 bypass shocks today! RXT shocks should be arriving in about 2 weeks. CBI bed rack should be this coming week!

    Did some tame off roading this weekend touring the parents around Moab. Here's a pic from the top of Long Cayon trail heading in to dead horse state park

    What are you going to do with that KB voodoo and what made you change?

    Shopping for racks so just curious :)

    I actually already sold the KB Voodoo to another local member. I should be picking up a CBI full bed rack tomorrow if they get it finished :D

    I wanted a few more accessory mounting options, a height between KB's mid and tall options, plus a little heavier duty than KB Voodoo's option (which BTW i feel he addressed with his new design).

    Curious on the height thing as well. I find that most racks are either too short or too tall lol

    Yeah i know. KBVoodoo mid is 10" above bedrails and their tall is 18". CBI is 14.5" which will just barely let me walk under my tent when it's opened up and will still clear in to my garage.

    She'll be waiting for me to get back from Chile later this week with a few new toys installed. Anyone looking for a shop in the Salt Lake area check out Agility Customs!
