Slick I’ve always liked the look of that bumper on your truck, I think mine will be similar, except with two swing outs for tire and highlift/gas can.
4wheel parts sent me 3 front shocks and one rear so they have to order another rear.
Other than that, no more leaking gas tank, I did rear powerstop brakes and new calipers and I think I got the pedal feeling good again. It was soft. Tightened up the squeaking belts, put a small light bar on the front because the headlights aren’t too great. I’m going to get some more metal for the bumper and start on that soon too.
So friggin pumped, the lift turned out really good. Higher than a thought it was going to be, which is fine because once the bumpers and winch get on it’ll settle a bit. The 255/85s I don’t think look too bad, definitely could use more tire but for our trip to moab the fuel mileage and less sound will be welcomed.
Been hacking away at the trailer too, getting a spare tire mount ready to go.
Did my best to get started on the bumper, going to be much like my last one, except dual swing outs. Had to cut out the rear crossmember, and notch the frame out so I could get the bumper low enough to clear the gate
Great start Evan! Post up the swingout hinges and latches you use, a dual swingout on Redee would help solve my spare tire troubles, while lookin’ pretty badass.
Always my favourite part of the build, took a rain day today and made some serious progress. Very excited overall.
<p style=”text-align: left;”>Well at least somebody was happy about the rain today… bumper looks amazing!! Nice fuel can too..</p>
Took it all apart and removed it for paint. I got some Por15 again so when that gets here I’ll get it all painted. After that I have to get the front end resealed, alignment, and a 255 spare. Then we leave for Moab!
