So the first mods I purchased were the bamf sliders and eco grill, since I got this truck in November the Black Friday sale was the first dip into mods.

During the time it took for those to come in I ordered the ditch lights and brackets/ flush mount calirasied bar.

Then before the sliders came in i ordered bfg km2s and purchased the mobtown skids through their group buy. The km2s obviously came first and to my awesome surprise they fit on stock suspension. Credit to @Jibbs for creating the thread that brought the 255/85s into the light.


Before the skids showed up the sticker badges, glovebox, and tailgate letters all came in.




Then the skids finally came in!


Follower by the sliders within a week, so I rattle canned both and put them on the stock bilsteins, resulting in some sag, only thing the tires rubbed on was the mudflaps!




The next thing ordered was the ADS suspension from the amazing Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road through the group buy.




I later adjusted the coilovers up in the front to sit .5" lower than the back.

Sandy went without a mod for almost 3 months ...... because my c4 fab bumper was being thought about and then built for 8 weeks!
It arrived and I tried my hand at a HVLP spray gun. 5/10 paint job, 10/10 build quality on this bumper. Emaculate welds, beautiful craftsmanship.




And vuala bumper, winch, and light bar were on.

A little bit later I decided the stockies were looking out of place. So methods it was.



Then 2 days later, our first trip out, I rashed 3 of the 4. Damn it.

Well I had a friend offer his tent and bed rack to me for a steal so I took him up on it. I've had the hilift for awhile and never permenatly mounted it to the truck. So before I put the tent on, with the rear getting a ton of weight put on it, I took the opportunity to justify new dobinsons rear springs. While I was on the suspension kick, I figured it was time to round out the set up with LR uca.

All these build threads coming up got me wondering if I should make one

 

IN! Whats next on the list?

 

HC rear for sure!

 

Your first sentence is true Androlle.




But alas, sub.

 

Looking good! Can't wait to see them MTR's. That's possibly my next tire just not looking forward to the price

 

I feel the same way.

 

Im here now, everything will be okay now

 

I just need to know where this field is.

 

In, very nicely done. ​

 

Luv u.
