thanks!
yeah they did actually! remember you gotta shave the shackle bolt sleeve that goes into the "frame" side. minor mods required but for the extra few inches you really can't complain. post some before and after pics on here when you done.
3 words...wife was driving...that's actually my back yard. i live on 6 acres down here.
thanks! i'm doing it the poor man's route! next up are my front winch bumper and rear tire carrier. gonna be built by me. then after those are done i'm thinkin of tackling some long arms myself.
thanks! bored you to sleep huh? lol
i like em and they def do the job! the only thing is they show a lot of the engine compartment so i need to spray everything in there with some flat black or something now. lol

Got jacked!!! It's no hi-lift...tractor supply $50 special...but the reviews were all good! I was gonna mount it on my rack but it's F'n heavy and that would be a pain so I'm gonna mount it to the rear bumper after it's built!

Traded my brother-in-law my scuba tank for a 12V big rig air pump and air tank. I didn't have and couldn't find the right fittings for the scuba tank so I said why not. This air tank is WAY too big to fit in the back out of the way! I could mount it on my rack but I think that would look stupid so I'm gonna build a rear bumper out of 4X4 1/4" iron and use that as a tank.

yea mudfest was alright.. kinda disapointed though... just a pond like 4 feet deep and sandy mud.. nothing that hard at all.. except the lane that the trucks with like >38" tires were digging ruts on purpose lol

Started gathering parts for my front bumper build! Here's where I'm not sure what I wanna do...do I build a winch bumper or build a hitch bumper and attach a winch to a hitch plate? Still contemplating...
Ordered from atozfabrication.com!
