    Trail worthy now... might leak a little and have terrible traction with my bald tires lol

    Shake down runs will happen before too long... but probably after a suspension overhaul. Extend travel Kings are calling my name!

    Awwwww yea.... what tires did you get?

    I am going to be cutting the rear fenders pretty soon.... going to build a jig to do an exact 2 or 3" measurement on them...

    I really want the weather to cooperate tomorrow so I can get the passenger fender and snorkel on...

    Shake down runs to barnwell with a side trip to Tyler to see me!

    @MellyMel make this happen so you and Christina can do women things and you can see Olivia while Brandon and I go do guy things!!!!!

    Nice nice.

    Trying to decide if I want to do 2" or 3" on the rear fenders.

    Front fenders are 3" and they are more than plenty now...

    I think we have plans next weekend - but nothing after that as far as I know. I'll talk to B and see what weekend would work!

    I have a 1" body lift to help clear a crawl box in the future so I think I'll cut 2.5 out of the fronts and rears and then get some bushwacker flares to bolt on.

    Sounds good! Just let me know!

    This could be done... I guess...

    Will be looking at ECGS today to see about pricing for a full clamshell I suppose... but only if I have help!

    I forgot you have the body lift, I have no body lift on mine.

    I would love to do some bushwackers, I am just not going to pay full price for a brand new set to just cut them.

    I should have bought the ones I came across a while back that were for sale... but oh well.

    I think my locked 4.88 front was just under 2K with the core charge... and I got back like 400ish for the core... so 1600 said and done for the front. Go with the solid spacer on the pinion gear, it's a cheap upgrade that's well worth it.

    With two of us (or more? mod day!?) we can get the swap knocked out without much trouble.

    I don't have much choice... it was raining yesterday while I was removing my flares and I got impatient and broke several of the mounting tabs that the clips lock into :oops:

    whoops...

    So, take your time lol

    Not a bad price to be honest... I wonder if ARB will have any rebates or specials coming up on lockers....

    Did you have to pay for shipping on the core or is it included?

    Lol, luckily the fronts are fine and I just removed the entire fender with the flare on there. At least the driver side... should be able to do the passenger side the same way.

    The rear flares already have some clips broken.... so not worried about that.

    A quick ebay look and there are some fake bushwackers on there for less than $200 shipped... I would do that instead of real ones if you are just going to cut them up... plus I want to use the actual holes in the flare to bold them to the fenders anyways.

    yeah shipping is included if you select the core return option... they send a return tag with the rebuilt unit you order

    Good looking out on the flares. I don't need anything fancy, but if they look crappy I don't mind shelling out the coin for something that looks better on the truck. Gotta have that bro mall crawler EAF status at one hundo.
