Well I got it in January 2011 with 3" block spacer lift for $2500.
Then I decided to get rid of all that and installed rough country 6.5 x-series kit with drop brackets

Then I got sick of the glossy spray bomb job that was on it and decided to paint it all flat black. Undercoated up to the body line

Then I got tired of the rubi wheels. Just didn't stick out far enough and was rubbing all over even with wheel spacers. So I picked up some 16x10 4"bs 52 series rockkrawlers

Huge improvement over the rc shocks I had. I've got drop brackets too so short arms aren't too bad. Hoping to pick up some long arms next month. Just trying to make up my mind. 3 link or 4 link. I know I don't want radius arms bc of the unloading I keep hearing about.
