    I had the option to get my struts early, but in black, decided to wait for the orange. It'll be a little bit but I think with all the other things going on the truck, it'll be worth it. So stoked for the tent and awnings and everything! Rack is getting picked up together so I can get it welded together and start on the waterproof 1000 denier fabric softopper material. Still working out all the details of that and what features I want in it.

    Sierra expeditions sells them. Made by prolink, called the factor 55. They do orange but only for UTV's so they aren't heavy enough. :(

    Black, red, silver, blue, and another color I believe. But I have a feeling you'll like the blue haha.

    I just like the way it cleans up the front end and makes it so easy to swap components out.

    I wish! I'm gonna play that card when the truck is orange, then ill email vin and rj. I'm on the fence about their wheels in matte black or getting orange ones. Vin already said he could do it. Like I said, on the fence. Might be too much, we'll see. Regardless I've got 3 months til they get more in stock.

    Figured I did the front, why leave the rear empty. I'll have a total of 6 structural recovery points on the front and rear. 3 each. Rack is getting built next week sometime. Gonna be a busy couple weeks. Got my striker plates/u bolt flip kit from icon today. AFE pro dry s filter also showed up.

    Swapping my lights back to a stock bhlm so I can fit a dual battery setup, priced out batteries and was told by an odyssey dealer to go to sears and get die hard platinums. Same battery rebadged haha. Plan on getting one reversed terminals so I can run the wires straight across with no crossover.
