    Yeah, currently it hasn't changed. I have found that day to day, this truck with 33's/4.88 gears is just about perfect. Just the right amount power, great offroad, etc. Honestly, 99% of the time I don't even need the lockers. With the current suspension, etc. it is the PERFECT HUNTING/FISHING truck.

    Just messing around, wanted to see what the idle was like on a decently steep hillclimb. It was nice and muddy, as you can see the truck wanting to slide sideways a few times. No lockers needed, the gears are almost like a locker themselves lol.

    Glad to see you didn't get rid of the truck, I look forward to seeing the build progress.

    Well, no new pics but I swapped out front bumpers. It now has a one off Bentup brand plate bumper. Not as high clearance, but it should afford a little more protection for now. Also, I now have a Demello bed bar with hi lift mounts.
