    I was hoping to get my tailgate painted up prior to them... but give the people what they want, right?

    You still running stock gears? Oh fudge just realized you were on 37s. I read last year that you ran stock gears with the Auto on 35s for a bit. And was asking about how your tranny and everything held up. Assuming fine..

    Yeah @stroM- convinced me it’d be fine to make the jump lol. I’ve been running stock gears with an auto on 35s for a bit too now and it’s been just fine

    Rad. Good to hear you fellas aren’t chewing up transmissions. I’m going to give myself the green light it will only be for a few weeks.

    Do you run a scan-gauge or ultra gauge? Curious to see what your tranny temps are with 37s, what did you do to beef things up to avoid havoc on the trail with those monsters? Spindle gussets for one I assume..

    I'm also curious what beefing up, if any, was done on the drive train.

    I like the flat plates at the edges. I was trying to curve mine (my bumper is still not finished, but sorta installed lol) and it was a disaster to try to follow the curves and then wondering about how to reinforce it to make it strong. I might actually chop mine apart and make the edges on it similar to yours.
