    thanks for the cmc job today Jason @Speedfreek ! i have to admit i was a little hesitant because of the 1 hour drive, but extremely glad i made the trip out to you. If you guys are thinking about getting a cmc job don't bother looking anywhere else. it literally looks stock! as if nothing even happened which is amazing. thanks again Jason! P.S. - hope that arm gets better :-(

    Ok gonna check them now, I have 10 to go through, sorry for the delay, had some back to back emergencies here due to the rain and a collapsed main sewer line I had to repair, so I've been in over my head for about the last week, I'm gong to answer all them by tonight! Sorry about that!

    Thank you my friend, was very nice to meet you, and glad you are happy with the end product! I really appreciate the kind words!
    Yeah, my arms/elbows have been hard to work with but it is what it is I suppose!
    Pro tip: Dont get old, lol!

    as always awesome job @Speed Freek, i'm stoked to finally have the rear end finished and loving this set up so far. I only have 2.5hrs of freeway miles on the new set up so far and it took a few miles to get used to the new ride but the drive was smooth AF, can't wait to hit some dirt. Thank you for working this project in so close to Christmas and always good times talking with you!

    I should have posted this a while ago. Major props to @Speed Freek.
    Not only is he one of the coolest dudes I have ever met, But He also does amazing work. Jason let me play assistant and help him over the two days. I learned so much and saw everything happen. an opportunity you will never get at a shop.

    we put in two 9 hour days in a row to complete all this work

    OME Bp-51 front and rear
    Edit: Camburg UCA
    OME HD rear leaf pack with add a leaf
    Front Diff bushing from ECGS
    CMC
    ARB Summit Front Bumper

    Here are some photos of this guys amazing work

    2018-12-12 08.55.45.jpg
    This is just before unloading at Jasons. 2 nights worth of truck camping and a whole lot of truck parts.

    2018-12-12 09.32.48.jpg
    The before shot. The setup Jason has is awesome super pro.

    2018-12-12 10.11.42-1.jpg
    First up is the front diff bushing. He tipped the car to one side so he could leave all the fluid in.
    2018-12-12 11.56.51-1.jpg
    then some front suspension.

    2018-12-12 13.59.32.jpg
    a CMC
    2018-12-12 15.18.30.jpg
    then the rear leaf pack..... I can't believe the stock one ... what a shame.

    2018-12-12 17.24.28.jpg
    all the crap we took off in one day. We had to stop working stupid darkness.

    2018-12-13 07.15.37.jpg
    After Suspension pre bumper. Looks like someone skipped leg day. next project shoes!

    DAY 2

    2018-12-13 08.00.59.jpg
    went and got aligned. We did such a good job they only needed to do minor adjustments. Now he drives like a champ sooper smooth
    2018-12-13 09.30.11.jpg
    Next up bumper ... if that's what you can call it. Feels more like a Battering Ram.

    2018-12-13 10.06.39-1.jpg
    Snip snip snip

    2018-12-13 10.50.51.jpg
    Found this as we stripped parts off. Guess my Truck has a name now. nice to meet you Thomas.

    2018-12-13 10.54.21.jpg
    so much cutting :eek:

    2018-12-13 15.24.06.jpg
    BOOM!!! PRESTO CHANGO! ... now for the wiring
    2018-12-13 18.08.53.jpg
    After a long Second day that kicked both our asses and left Jason saying he might never do a summit bumper again. Looks fucking fantastic. Rides amazing looks great. A job well done that will hold forever thanks to Jason's attention to detail and quality work.

    Jason makes dreams into reality.

    Thanksman!
