    First test was a Drummond Island (Michigan Upper Peninsula) trip with some friends. (TX Pro Taco, and Rubicon):
    . The 886 were brutally stiff on the trails without the weight of the winch bumper though)

    And a sweeeeeeeeet defender we spotted on the way back:

    Next change I made was the Tiregate from Wilco Offroad. I wanted a way to carry a full size spare, but couldn't justify spending $2,000 on a swingout from CBI or similar (maybe someday). I also was able to get it with the HiLift Jack mount. Really pleased with it overall. Erik was great to work with and the quality is excellent:

    The relentless bumper took 7 months to receive, but it was worth it. I am extremely pleased with it and would definitely do the wait over again. Fit like a glove and looks awesome. I also added some Smittybilt shackles and the Lightforce 240s with the bumper:

    I still have a lot more I plan on doing to the truck. I'll keep this updated as much as possible so stay posted (sorry for all the driveway pics lol).

    Looks nice bro. DCLB builds FTW! I like that rear tire carrier also!

    Just an idea... but you should set up a flip down table on the back side of that tire carrier.
