Pretty sure it was stock last time you saw it.
Here's the specs:
Suspension: 3.5" Rough Country Series 2 with 2.2 shocks, Rough Country dual stabilizers
Wheels & Tires: 35x12.50R17 Nitto Trail Grapplers mounted to 17x9 Black Rhino Rockwell Wheels
Bumpers: Teraflex hinged carrier and mount
Armor: Factory skids, Bushwacker corner guards, hood and tailgate protector, Rugged Ridge light guards
Performance: K&N Air Intake, Superchips Flashpaq, Gibson Metal Mulisha Exhaust, E3 Diamond fire plugs
Lights: Philips Crystal Vision Ultra, Pilot H3 fog light swap, LED Dome lights, D2s on Poison Spyder A-pillar brackets and on tire carrier
Sound: Factory Infinity, Alpine MRP-M500 amp, JL 8 2v4 subwoofer
Misc.:Smittybilt grab handles, Smittybilt neoprene seat covers, Tuffy stereo cover, Rugged Ridge mirror relocation brackets, Ventshade wind deflectors, Buskwacker cowl scoop, Rollbar mounted OBA, Rugged Ridge black aluminum fuel door, Bestop door sills, Poison Spyder license plate delete

I'm sure there's more that I'm missing. Sill needs a front bumper with a winch. Then beef up the D30 with some sleeves and inner C gussets. Looking to get a new top for the summer too. Factory top will become my winter top.
You've done so much in such little time it looks awesome. I'm glad to see your still on this forum too

Nice rig! I've seen Scott's in person when I went to pick up a 231 from him. That is a sweet bumper.

Yeah, I'm sure you remember how much tread was left on the fronts last June... It's not getting any better haha. But the rears are perfect they have a ton of life left in them and I really like the Baja claws. But like I stated months ago when I first got these in that trade... There is no way I can afford to buy these new. I mean I could... But that's a lot of money that I don't need to spend. I can wheel and deal them into a new set of tires and have money left over for sliders.. Rear disc conversion etc..:

I'm about to get some claws. I can't wait.

I am a little worried with tire wear since I dried so much... Guess I'll just keep them rotated or keep my baby 33's to save them.

Mine didn't wear out fast I mean I can tell they have gone down some since I got them but that was a year ago and it's my dd so that's to be expected

I say you pick up some 35" km2's, throw some 4.88s in those diffs, do some coil spacers and new leaf packs, and trim the fenders
