    Thanks fellas! A lot happened last week actually!
    That's what happens though when you start shopping at Rebel Offroad lol

    I'll get some photos uploaded tonight/tonight :D

    The Fox's have been great so far. Being able to adjust them (DSC) has been really nice! My Expos have started to flatten out a bit unfortunately (over 1 year old) but I also carry around 500lbs constantly when you add up my canopy, roof rack, truck vault and cargo glide. They are a great leaf though — my application is different from most peoples because of all the extras. I will end up having to go with a custom built leaf pack soon.

    I am curious as to why you went hoop less? I am not a huge fan of headlight hoops but a center hoop seems worth it and looks great.

    Sure is :D

    The center hoop does look bad ass I just personally like the cleanliness of no hoops. After over a year of exploring I never felt that the hoops ever helped or saved me and I originally didn't want hoops but thought I would give it a try and see if it would grow on me... it didn't lol

    Stopped at the sPOD office to pick up the new Special Edition Touchscreen for the truck and Universal 6 switch for the trailer. I'm not a huge fan of electrical but it was so easy wiring all these up — seriously plug and play!

    Of course had to get our rigs together for a selfie.
