Bob, awesome build and cool pics. How is the ride with the 886? Did you go with those instead of the 885s because of the winch?

 

once the winch and bumper went on the 885s didn't cut it..i had noticeable droop in the front

you can definitely tell the stiffer ride with the 886 but they are necessary when you have the added weight up front...but it's a truck, not a cadillac..so i'd rather have proper height and clearance over softer ride

 

You have a sick truck! I wish I would have had time in Moab to take a closer look.

How do you like those All-Pro skids? I need to pick some up.

 

so far bull proof...i used them a lot, and mean A LOT over the weekend

the tcase skid paid off the most so far due to there not being a suitable skid from the factory protecting the tcase...i'll take some photos of the scraps they encountered in moab

they mount up very easy too.

i'd also look into the bud built skids...if i knew that their tcase skids had spacers to go over the exhaust cross-over, i probably would have gone with them. But the all-pros so far have done their job without a problem

old ifs skid versus all-pro

 

Truck looks sweet

 

Nice truck

 

u know i love ur truck sway bar delete, this weekend!

 

Nice

 

Whats going on here, middle right side of pic?

 

lol NM, thats the steering shaft. I was thinking it was a rear shock sticking up through there.

 

Yup its the boot on the steering shaft which when disconnected makes installing the driver side header muuuch easier

 

so this is what i mean that the tcase skid did its job....





after a weekend in moab



NOW CHOPPED
