Texas BS Thread

yeah, definitely doing the lift before September when I head for AZ/UT for 10 days, stock tires are likely due for replacement by mid-spring, so lift and tires go on then. Kinda waiting to see how much droop I get putting on the bumper and winch before deciding what front springs to go with. Looking for about a 2" lift, don't want to go much more than that as my wife has a difficult time getting in the truck now and not really interested in replacing the UCA's for what I'm planning to do with the truck.

 

Ride eternal.

 

My wife had a terrible time getting into the truck when I took the steps off. My sliders actually made it much easier, despite the fact that they're angled.

 

I thought this was common knowledge already.

 

Whhhhhhaaaaaatttttt???!!! I didn't know you were getting a bumper! Lucky jerk now you need a high clearance and sliders!























Oh and a 4x4 conversion too

 

I need to do a 4x4 conv also

 

Yupp it's a club now

Mine is way down the road before I do mine

 

I hope to start on by end of year if i do, still thinking about swapping to fox with maxtracs and dakars on 33s or not. Thatd be a set back if i do.

Make me some of those jeep headlights tho....

 

Hahah there is a long list of people that want me to make them

Could do just OME 887 with UCAs and fit 33s. I'm running 285's on a 3 in dealer lift then you can do a 4x4 conversion

 

Where are you getting the sliders from?

 

BAMF

and I ordered a rear bumper. Keeping. The front 'stock' for now

 

Very nice bolt on or welded sliders?

 

I have 885s now, not sure how much sag the front steel bumper, winch and skids will cause.. may have to go 887s if i keep the billies

 

Bolt ons. What I'm really waiting on is my SCS F5's

I've got to get some rest tho man. Been a long week!

Text me tomorrow brother!

 

Man Chad you must be making some bank to get all these new toys

Have a goodnight man and I'll text you tomorrow!

 

Yea depending on the weight you may be sagging too much. Maybe some heavy duty springs are in order I'm wanting some fox or kings. I've heard people end up hating the kings but they look so sexy

 

Which rear bumper did you go with?

 

Brute Force Fab - Standard Rear Bumper, no swingout.

It's not one where you cut through bedsides and get super mega clearance/protection.

But it DOES have the hidden hitch receiver and 7pin behind the license plate.

So the way I see it, it technically could be considered a high clearance bumper.

Plus it's solid reinforced steel, with shackles. So I'm pretty pumped about that.

 

With the light pockets or without? They're in my top 3 of choices when I get a bumper, just not sure when that'll be.
