I love the duratracs great tire all around. Hence why I went with another set.

Also the headlights are different all together. They are not the sylvania silver star sealed beams. They are delta H4 housings with the silver star bulbs. But they are atleast twice as bright as stock

Been a while since my last updates but I've been really busy with with and things.

I was able to get a few things done:
Rear JCR Offroad stage 1 rear bumper
AA SYE and Toms Woods rear driveshaft
My CB radio install
5.5" RE coils instead of the 3.5"+ 2" spacers
And my BW Flat Flares(which
I don't know if I like or not lol....wanna trade one for one for cutouts anyone?)

And a few things I just got in the mail/ ordered for next week are:
BPE for the front and rear shocks
RC 2.2 4.5"-6.5" shocks
Ironman 4x4 adj short arm upper&lowers
Rustys TC skid plate(mine came with the junk oem one. But the nutserts suck so I decided not to reuse it.)
6degree shims( so I can take the tc drop out, currently I have 1" TC drop and 4 degree shims)
IRO HD coil spring retainers
RC sway bar disco
Airflow snorkel


And yes I currently only have 2wd because I need to replace the UJoints in the front ds but have been a little lazy lol

Thanks!

Got the RC sway bar disco in today they seem decent for the money. I don't get a change to offroad much so for now I just figured they would be better then having to unbolt the sway bar every time.

Also went around and checked the torque on the ubolts and shocks etc to make sure everything is still nice and tight.

I got the 6degree shims in now I'm just waiting on the centering pins. I can't wait to get the bigger shims in so I can get rid of the transfer case drop!!! Looks so tacky

looks great. I personally would stick with the flat fender flares, not as flashy as the cutouts but more functional in my opinion.
