Sorry it's been so slow man, these holidays are kicking my ass with two different families to have to function with and on top of it an old surgery is creeping back up and knocking me down but it's deffinatly coming along nicely! Just gotta go pick up all the hardware, waiting on the latch to get here then build the cradle for the gas can!

Shit your not slow chad. Even if you don't finish until January, you are at least 3 times faster than the front bumper.

Lmao well I guess that's true too! I know for sure after Christmas I'll be able to get hopping every day again.. Realistically there's not much left to do once hardware is picked up but have to figure out the gas can and hilift but shouldn't be too bad! I'm really liking how it's coming along thus far though!

Rear bumper and frame reinforcement plates in. I have to put the overload leafs back in my dakars now to help with the weight. Just need to relocate the shocks.

I think it fixed my lean also

Truck looks awesome man!! Question about your gears. What did you end up going with?? 4.88's? And you added an auto locker in the back? Or an LSD? And left the front open?

I am running 4.56s and have a Detroit truetrac (LSD) in the rear with an open front. If I could do it again, I would have put an arb locker in and 4.88s. I am taching around 3k rpm at 75mph, so I figured it would be closer to 3250 rpm at 75 with the lower gear. But I would have that little extra power that my truck needs on the highway and street. But for offroading the 4.56 works great.
The LSD works very well until I lift a wheel, then I try the ebrake trick and have minimal success. Its still better than an open rear.

Yeah, I would have trashed the spare in the stock location (if it even fit) and I hated it in the bed of the truck.

I'm struggling with the 4.10's 4hi is damn near useless. If I'm on a hill my truck will just stall out. Also my gas mileage is suffering with the 33's. I'm lucky to get 12mpg. Think I might just do a lunchbox locker in the back, And 4.88's.
