Hello from Colorado (south of Denver)! Been lurking here for a while absorbing all your ideas...thank you! I've had my TB since 2009 but my wife drove it until last year. We bought a 2014 Rubicon Unlimited so I got the TB to play with. Tons of places to challenge the TB here along the front range.

It's a 2006 EXT, 5.3L. So far:

2" Rough Country "leveling" kit
1.5" BORA spacers
265/70/17 Duratracs
Spare relocation
KYB struts
Monroe shocks
Running boards delete

I hated the look of the weiner dog before, but this new look is growing on me. Can't wait for the snow to melt to test it out behind the Rubi (no need for a winch!)

Nice looking truck! Do you know what gear ratio you have and if you have a G80?

When you say spare delete, do you mean you put a big matching one inside? I wouldn't go out without a spare.

Agreed, I would never go without a spare! I changed my wording to "spare relocation"...it's in the back for now but plans are for it to go on a future roof basket. I need to pick-up a stock 17" to replace the steelie so I can rotate in the spare.
