    Started cleaning the truck today and my passenger floorboard was soaked again. Seems like every time it rains. So... I ripped all the carpet out and put the seats and everything back in. Going to roll floorless for a while since the vinyl kits are so expensive. Also gives me time to find where exactly the water is coming in.

    Went to potts this weekend. ADD actuator decided it wasn't gonna work anymore so I ran the whole thing open/open in 4hi. Skinny pedal!!!! I'll post some pics and videos in here soon. Also going to order the diffs from ECGS this week so I can fix the 4wd while I'm at it.

    Pulled the skids off today in preparation for the new diffs. Decided I'm going to ditch the retros, they're fantastic but I think the more I get to beat on the truck the less things that can break the happier I'll be and they are pretty fragile. Not something I want to mess with and fix after every wheeling trip. If any of you guys are interested in them let me know. specs on them are in the OP, got a second set of shrouds with 80mm halos I'll include as well and the current shroud will be fixed before they get sold.

    They are great. Coming up on 1000 miles with them. Were excellent at Potts and road manners are fantastic. They look really mean too

    Pics in here appear to have vanished with the site update, I'll take a couple today.

    My okled pods have water in them but my lifetime have had no issues. Get the lifetime ones but make sure they are the Cree led ones, they sell epistar too.

    They are pretty close!
