    meh. lots.
    Hiya. Sorry, 1st post was in response to a forum closing down.

    So.. been on the trails since 2009 with it; it's a trail limo. 2006 DC Long Box 4.0 auto 4X4 (duh)
    Nothing below frame is really stock any more. or is it above? meh.

    I don't have a build thread, my gawd that would be awful. So this one-time post is a readers-digest version:

    • Suspension: 10-pack Expo leafs with U-bolt flip, Custom Rad-flow 2.5 remote resi; Timbrens bumpstops x 4, Fox front CO / Eibach 650 coils with remote resi; sway-bar remove mod; moog greasable lower ball joints.
    • Powertrain: ECGS made ARB air locker, and <obviously> OBA to go with that; EBC Slotted & dimpled GD series front rotors, Green-stuff 7000 series pads. SS brake lines; rear diff relocate breather mod; 18,000 k Tranny cooler after-market; Gator belt. Assorted wheels on Land-Cruiser 80 series rims <yum>.
    • Lighting: HID: 4300K Philips 85122+ bulbs, Morimoto H4 Harness & 35w Ballasts, FX-R Projectors (3" lens), Apollo 3.0 Shrouds, Amber LED Halos behind, Matte black housings, Gloss black Shrouds. Light-Force 6" Amber Dish x 2 on light bar. 866 Rear light mod. Fogs any-time on on mod.
    • Comms: CB / VHF / UHF / 6 meter licensed Ham (Yaesu Gear). oh, and toy useless FRS.
    • Recovery: Allpro front bumper with shackles x 3; warn 8000 winch; remote under hood winch solenoid & kill switch mod. Class 3 hitch bolted in rear, 7-pin relocate mod. 60" Hi-Lift bolted to bed with Rac-mount kit. Bubba rope & too many straps to count.
    • Armour: Full All-pro slider set (IFS Front skid bolted to the bumper, tranny skid, T-case skid); All-Pro steel bumper; Yota-Fab Custom sliders with kick-outs welded to frame.
    • DC Power: Northstar AGM 27-F battery, 190 amp alternator, Blue-Sea fuse box running all dedicated mods including radio & 12 VDC power to bed.
    And a bunch of other little niceties like the lighted 4x4 Selecter mod, bed tie-downs x4 extra, etc.


    Cheers from Alberta.
    See you on the trails. Tread Lightly, RESPECT Designated Trail closures.

    We'll I've been on here posting since 2008. :p

    All the "Bruh" talk had me confused. I'm always at RDRH; sadly we just don't get the time to stop by anymore. Have to do it outside paid hours!

    Truck looks great. Just need to get you some bigger rubber now.
