    With the new tires I rub on the frame (both sides) and on the inside of the fender well on the driver side.

    Looking into getting wheel spacers- not sure what width to go for yet, if that'll even help.

    :taco: Thanks man!

    Sounds like we'll get along, my girl and I get out about every other weekend to do some backpacking, fishin, kayakin...etc- so we're all about adventuring. It'll be nice to know someone that knows the new area well!

    We will most definitely be doing some overlanding when we head out :cheers:

    I've debated that- but I think I like my factory derped ones more :eek:

    The Wheelers steelies will ride better than factory with spacers though... They just look like any other offroad rig, is the problem.

    They are about 40 bucks more than spacers- which makes more sense (the wheels), but I wish I just got those bastards when I got new tires haha

    My buddy at Totland Design finished my sliders up for me- he built them and welded them on, and I couldn't be happier! Way strong, and look great :D

    Got new door speakers, and took out the box speakers in the back to free up tons of space. Keeping the wall speakers unplugged in the back because they're super blown. Just two of these are much better than my old system. Cant wait to put some in the rear and get an amp! Also fixed the aux cable coming from the back of my deck, so I can jam out to my phone or ipod now!

    I got in a wreck today! Totalled a vehicle...well she totalled herself on me.

    Got blasted by some chick who didn't see me slowing down/ stopping for the car in front of me to turn right.

    I'm very impressed with my truck's bumper, and how much damage it did to her :eek:

    It basically really sucked, I jumped out, ran back and pried her door open so she could get out. I walked her to the curb, as she was coughing from both of the airbags' smoke and white powder. Shitty deal.

    Yeah, I'm great! Other than a bit bummed and delayed during my day. Gonna definitely need a new bumper, and see if anything else under there got blasted- like my exhaust- cause that's hangin down there in the blast zone. I think the spare tire did work stoppin that car too.

    I'd LOVE a bumper with tire carrier. I should check that spare and the holder for it- thanks for lookin out!

    Truck for sure did it's job, I'm unscathed, just got my adrenalin rollin!

    Didn't notice if the bed pushed into the cab, just another thing to check out. Thanks for your interest, and input! :cheers: I'll update tmrw when I talk with insurance and check those things out

    Looking to fab something up like Box's, but with square/rectangle steel wrap arounds- like the Elite rear bumper. Possibly throw my spare up there?? I dunno, it's pretty chill down where it is now. But looking to fab something either with Box or my buddy Kevin...

    Also, been debating dumping the exhaust just past the rear axle- but I thought Utah Law "required the tip to clear the vehicle" ??? Last thing I need is an un-necessary ticket for something like that. Not really debating, I'd do it in a day- it takes up so much clearance I'd have

    I do have damage on my cab from my bed :mad:

    Also my exhaust is a bit bent :mad:

    hopefully the frame flexed like you said instead of bending!

    I'm going to do something similar, but with square tubing wrap arounds, so I'm unified with my sliders :D Definitely like to do a spare tire carrier on it as well with a hi-lift mount

    For sure! I'll see how much they'll pay for that, and decide if I need that dent pulled and paint fixed, or just use that to fast track my lift.

    I didn't even notice it until today!

    Haha.
    So, I've been doing tons of digging- how do you like your OME setup?

    I'd like the adjustability of the 5100's up front for when I get a bumper- probably new coils too, to keep me up high.

    But does anybody even adjust their adjustables??
