    Powdercoat fades, spray paint fades. I'm pretty damn good at spray paint though. Never felt the need to pay for powdercoat

    I'm hoping to test run the trail in the next week or two. Looking forward to some pics of what you were dealing with.

    No issues. I hit my slider once. My crawl ratio sucks on stock gears, but my ECGS Diffs come in on Wednesday. That Canyon Danny got fucked in is way more off-camber than any photos I've seen. We have a lot more cab and glass than a Taco does though.

    Why was that so hard? They are pretty basic to put together.

    Are you manual trans? My struggle right now is being manual with 35s and stock gears. Makes rock crawling really tough. Buying my 4.56 gears on friday.

    Those tires move around a lot at 18 psi. The only thing that would have helped is bigger tires and lockers

    I'm done modding for almost a year once I get this cutout in my grille for my new lightbar, install the kings, and the roof rack. I have a lot of real life shit coming up and need to recover hard.

    Nice. I like their front bumper.

    I'm pretty stoked on everything coming up. My summer has been shit so far with surgery and work so I'm glad that it is looking up in August!
