Fuck yeah.. looking good. Did you drive it back to foxridge with the front lifted and rear stock height? With the headlights shooting to the moon I imagine that was a fun drive haha

Nah I left it at the shop. I still wanna double check everything before hitting the road and hopefully get the rear swapped to match the front.

Got a lot more done yesterday and finished up my rear suspension. I cut off the frame to right behind the hangers and gained a ton of clearance compared to the stock bumper with the trailer hitch hanging down,

I did some tweaking to the bed today and narrowed it up and cut about a foot off the rear. Now it should clear the 37s and not be a hindrance wheeling. I still want to move the fuel tank up into the bed and i think i'm going to put it inside a tool box to keep it hidden and clean looking.

It's the last bit of 2x4 0.25" box tubing I had left from my jeep rock sliders. It's been riding around in my tool box for 2 years and i finally put it to use. Ideally i would have used 2x6 to box it in completely but i can always change it up later.

Thanks I just ordered a groover so besides grooving the tires and putting on shocks it should be pretty much finished in regards to the major parts before Harlan.
