    Just took her on a 1703 mile trek through the Southern Nevada desert...about 400 miles were off road in 90 degree weather - Off road we went from Vegas to Rachel to Tonopah and back (2 days). I installed stage 5 Icon coil over mid travel with Total Chaos UCA's - I had zero issues...and even jumped her a couple times. The front handled it like a champ - the rear with the Icon leaf expansion packs did okay, definitely hit harder. I was hitting 60+mph on some straight a ways, turned the slip control off and handled the turns great.

    I have Firestone destination A/T on 265/75/16 - only complaint with the tires, I'd give them a grade of B for the deep gravel, they didn't grab great, but still good effing tires! And A for 4WD.

    Need to add some lighting and sliders next - if you have input, I'd love to hear it. thinking about adding flush mount LED pods in the back and the raptor lights in the front, wiring them together with a rocker switch - also would like to use bed liner spray for the bumper...it's the only chrome left on it.
