    Yeah it was one of the first things I did when I bought the truck. Every panel is done. Took me a day or two.

    let me know how it feels. I always have thought it’s kinda weird the DMZ kit doesn’t have that. Let me know if it makes a big difference!

    Was going pretty hard in the whoops last friday in Ocotillo wells and she snapped. Was able to drive a 100 miles home Saturday morning...weld it up and was back in OW in the afternoon. Tim at DMZ hooked me up with a new hangar for free (Lifetime Warranty on his parts) that got welded on today with the crossbrace we fabbed up.

    Damn that’s trick. Part of me wants to just get it done now, but half of me just wants to wait until I have an issue, and deal with it then since it’s not going to be much more labor at all. I should just use my truck for once :anonymous:

    but definitely let me know how it feels!

    @Airdog you coming out to ocotillo on Sunday? I still have never ridden in your truck some how. I'm down in SoCal till Thursday.

    Also, wanted to see what everybody's opinions were on buckets vs suspension seats.

    My issue is that I have a long torso so it's really hard for me to find seats that fit with the harness pass through a in a proper spot for me.

    I've been debating between buckets like sparco or something vs a suspension seat like prp. I know the general pros and cons. The buckets would be way easier for me to fit around my tcase and front driveshaft without putting my head into the roof. However I have found a spot where I fit pretty good and should be able to make driveshaft clearance work.

    I do want to be able to drive my truck for more than 4 hours without getting super uncomfortable though.
