    Hahaha no fires, this time. I took all your advice, used bigger wire, and I used a relay and fuse on the power to the switch. Along with a high quality switch, works perfect.

    I relocated my rear shocks yesterday, rides 100x smoother surprisingly, and gave me a surprising amount more articulation.

    Did you buy a kit? Did you box the frame in while you were there?

    Judging by the picture, doesn't look like he boxed in the frame.

    Maybe he's given up on the drivetrain and is just going to power it Fred Flinstone style?

    :notsure:

    Iphewill probably put one seat in it just on a cross bar so he can just peak under the truck to check his lines.

    Look at build!
    Agreed! No regrets with mine and was cheaper than the TG lopro bumper, but iirc youdont have to extend the frame unless its the 98-00.. I actually cut alot of frame off to tuck mine in as far as possible.. Went all the way to the front body mout

    I boxed about a 8" section of the frame, and no kit. I had the TG shock mounts on the axle, but the top ones are a 1/4" shackle mounts from work, for locking docks together.

    I had to ectend my frame and i drive a 2003, on my year there is no extended frame horn!, your bumper must be huging the shit out of your front end.
