awesome so far for what you've put into it. good idea finding one already with the d44
I really wanna convert my cooling system and take out the mech fan sooon.
I haven't gotten to use mine much other than some trails in cali but there wasnt really any mud more rocks. And I've played in the snow a little.
I'm currently doing all the maintenance and steering stuff on mine then it will be a 4.5 lift.
