This was right after the lift was on. We had to take it out. I have videos I'll post after I get them from the ol' lady.

Finally found time in my schedule to flip the UCAs before the alignment.

Finally got my tires mounted and installed. Tire shop wouldn't touch them while installed on the truck because of the adapters being a liability. So I pulled them off one at a time in the empty lot across the street and did it that way. Gotta little trimming I'll have to do tomorrow not too big of a deal. Then hopefully my 3" front lift will be in around my next two days off.

More recent photo I need to get my transfer case replaced before winter hits. I've missed out on several opportunities to hit the local trails with some of my buddies due to having 4wd issues.

Installed some rock lights and relocated my switches for the rock lights and lightbar. I still need to order about 6 more lights. 2 for the front, 2 for the back, and 2 (1) for the front of each rocker area. I will be adding led pods for reverse lights as well for extra light that will be hooked up to my third switch. I need to clean up the switch area still yet.

Couple pictures of how the Cb was mounted, I picked the Cb up for free, it didn't come with brackets for the radio or the mic so I made some out of some brackets left over from a work project.

Custom frankenstein spare tire carrier, made from a Curt spare tire carrier and a folding hitch assembly. Spare tire will be mounted up tomorrow after work, if FedEx gets it to me in a timely fashion.
