    Ya I recommend it. I did roll on those 650s for 2 yrs but the truck sits a lot better now. Nice choice on all the armor. I have all of RCI's skid plates and their sliders. I actually just got the newest design of the front skid plate to replace my old one, that needed a floor jack to get into place. Even then it didn't like to sit right.

    Nice! So no overly harsh ride with the 700's? I drive a lot of road so I still want to keep it comfortable.

    Nope not at all. The only harshness I get is when the oil in the shocks are not warm. I have driven to Denver several times since putting the shocks on.

    Well I finally bit the bullet and bought some wet okole seat covers. Drake has been making my seats filthy. So I decided to get these before mud season hits and he tracks mud into truck and I can't get it completely out. Now I will be able to pull the covers off and clean them.

    Ya that was one of my first in cab upgrades I ever did, and I will never go back. My carpet still looks brand new underneath.

    You'll love 'em. They are not however "easy" to remove and replace for cleaning. They are a pretty tight fit and you'll only want to do it a time or two.
    I use a horse saddle blanket over Archer's seat, it collects most of the dirt and hair. A small bungee wrapped around the headrest and through the blanket holds it up and is quick to remove.
    When I have a passenger, just fold the blanket and the seat is clean or can be wiped by hand.

    I have sat in a set and they are super nice. Honestly I will probably wash them once a year, after mud season. But we will have to see how it goes. Drake likes to just from the front to the back. He will sit in the front but prefers to lay down in the back seat. I kinda went all out with them too. I got seat heaters, map pockets and ccw pocket for the driver side.

    There only time I have seen it went is when I fail at dumping the water off them. But there is a chance of water getting through the latches

    Got a couple things done for my moab trip on the 24th. I bent my mid skid back to flat and put some supports on the skid and also started to clean up and repaint them.

    I also finally put a bottle opener on the swing out.

    The brown Santa showed up with my @Iggy camp lights today. :bananadance::dancingbacon:

    20170322_190302.jpg
    Can't wait to install them but it will have to wait till after my moab trip this weekend.

    Then I also got my tracking info for my wet okole seat covers. So the blue and red standard should be here when I get back on Monday. :yay::yes::taco:
