    THAT IS WHAT SHE SAID.

    Sorry, someone had to be the first to say it.


    I am beyond stoked, specially for the 2 hour round commute to work and back everyday of all things lol! Hey, hope your transmission issues are a thing of the past man. I see you've got some cool stuff going on IG.

    Thanks Nick! Still got a ways to go till she's built true and proper here but it sure is like driving a go-kart offroad with the maneuverability from such a short wheel base.

    My son had a first gen single cab while he was at the Air Force Academy in Colorado. He was able to take ATV trails up into the mountains with it. As soon as he graduated he got a 2nd gen double cab so he would have more room, but I think he misses that little single cab.

    4x Innovations rear swingout bumper currently being built! Happy about getting my bed space back.
    ARB Locker is currently being built with 5.29s from ECGS.

    This is gonna be cool!

    Waiting on Bash Offroad to get back to me on some new hybrid sliders he came up with.

    I need to rebuild my diff. Might lock it and do gears while I’m in there.

    Let me put it this way- Towing my 17 foot ski boat with 32s feels like driving regular with 35s. To think I'll have more torque at the wheels than with stock 31s....it's hard to imagine! I know I will be blown away once I regear, but I will most certainly let you know how big of a difference it is. Surely it'll be some good motivation for you.

    You planning on doing it yourself or having someone rebuild for you?

    Plan to do it myself in the garage. Shouldn’t be too hard. Need to do some homework on it first

    Wasn't bad at all! Just time consuming as it's a lot of bolts and stuff to remove. Little things too like bleeding the brakes at the end. I was dying to drive the truck but was like damn gotta bleed 'em still...

    Tested the flex at work the other day. Really impressed with how the 35" tires tuck PERFECTLY into the Bushwacker Flares. The rear axle has a shim from Sky Manufacturing Offroad moving the rear axle back 3/4 of an inch. That centered it perfectly in the wheel-well and there is no cutting needed. The front is a different story and still needs to be tubbed at the firewall. The 1 inch body lift allows more up travel before prematurely bump-stopping the tires from hitting the body. The Dakar leaf pack has more in it, but it is my slight mid travel replacement Fox shocks in the rear that are holding me back. Would like to do 10" shocks someday.

    Rear locker is in and has made a MASSIVE difference driving around daily to work. Absolutely massive difference!

    Rear bumper gets here this week from 4Xinnovations and sliders from Bash Fab.

    4x4 parts collection is going strong as well. Super stoked guys!Flex Side.jpg Flex Rear.jpg Flex Front.jpg Flex Driver.jpg
