    Took a trip to AZ this weekend. Lots of things happened....
    IMG_8708.jpg

    So we'll start with my @SDHQ OFFROAD Chase Light Mount that @hellppy customized to fit perfectly and attached a @Baja Designs Squadron Sport.
    IMG_8720.jpg

    We installed my @SDHQ OFFROAD Rock Sliders... genius design and great quality!
    IMG_8722.jpg FullSizeR.jpg

    @SDHQ OFFROAD installed my Eibach 14" 700# springs on my Fox 2.5 DSC coilovers and we got the front suspension done (for now.....cuz triple bypass secondaries will come eventually! I shouldn't have rode in @JerryTaco truck).Currently the front has no preload and feels amazingly amazing with the new springs. We installed Deaver u402 Leaf Pack in the rear, but I am still waiting on my Fox 2.5 DSC Rear Tundra Shocks to be delivered. So no offroading for a week or so. I will add a small about of preload to the front once I get my rear done.
    IMG_8742.jpg

    Now the wiring and lighting.... the wiring is unreal!!! @JerryTaco custom made all harnesses and did an absolutely amazingly amazing job with the Switchpros wiring (I highly recommend it!). The pictures don't do it justice. You would have to see this in person to really get an appreciation of the cleanliness of this job.
    IMG_8732.jpg
    The attention to detail is crazy. My @Baja Designs Squadron Pro Ditch Lights wiring look factory AF! lol
    IMG_8734.jpg

    We installed @SDHQ OFFROAD Behind The Grille Mount and @Baja Designs Hi-Power OnX6 30" (Amber lenses installed currently).
    IMG_8718.jpg

    @SDHQ OFFROAD ABS Guards were installed and my @CBI Offroad Fab Prinsu Cabrac was installed with holes in the weather strip that fit the washers perfectly...10 times better than how I installed it originally :anonymous:

    So this is where we are at...
    IMG_8771.jpg

    I can not thank @JerryTaco enough for the awesome job he did and the hospitality. It was a damn good birthday weekend in Arizona for sure.
    Thanks @hellppy for the help with the sliders, chase light mount, leaf springs and everything else!
    Thanks @Rashnu for the help with all the wiring, ABS guards and everything else!
    Thanks @JTS2016TACO for ummmmmm yea thanks! :facepalm:lol jk man! Thanks a lot for everything!
    Thanks @thejurassic_wagon for stopping by!

    It was a great weekend with a shitload of work done in a small amount of time! Ill see you all in September!.... and hey Sean, did I tell you I beat Jerry in K1 racing! :bananadance:

    You know what goes good with Donuts????Huge thank you to all of my AZ family! Good fucking times!

    Thanks ...Preload will be significantly less and I will have an aftermarket bumper with winch so I need the springs to support the added weight.
