Thanks all! I really need to raise my rear shock mounts, cause I got caught on those in moab... lol
All & all it was a good trip the only thing I broke was my rear exost hangers weld (easy fix)!

Rig looks great Ryan. Talk to me about the tires. How often do you drive it? I'm doing some pre-shopping for when i get home, wondering how those would hold up for DD duties. I used to drive a Ram on 33x15.5 TSL-SX. Thanks!

They wouldn't be bad for a DD, but they are a bias tire... Lots of guys say they will wear a lot faster, but I've driven it to at lease 1 trail a month & only pull it when we go to moab & they have held up way good thus far!

Thanks jeff for posting those! I hate not having internet...
That's all the pics I had on my blackberry, the rest are on my laptop! Its always a blast out there! I've never found a trail that comes close to even moabs moderate trails in difficulty or beauty! It should be in every off road enthusiasts bucket list (more than once)!

As far as the build goes, the plates expired in july, so yesterday I dusted the cob webs off, refabbed the mud flap QDiscos, & today cut the new bumper skin to fit (for state S/IM ONLY)!
The first snow flake the hits my driveway I'll clean out the garage to start my cage & chop top!!! Ohhh ya

its the bumper its self, if you go to the detours site i got the "backbone" (winch mount) from he calls it the bumper skin. the reason i need it to pass safety is, cause with my last bumper "skin" cut at a 75* they told me to much of my tire was exposed...
Utah is pretty strict on all that!
