Looking good!  Dang what is the travel of those shocks!

14" travel, i wanted to go 16 but there wasnt enough room under the hood. should have about 15 inches of  wheel travel in the front.

eventually, ill be running 16" travel shocks in the rear which should get me about 18 inches of wheel travel.

Nice truck, Aaron! :thumleft:

id like to but not permanently, there's a bunch of trails out west i wanted to do when i lived out there but didnt have the right stuff, need lockers, winch, at least 35 inch tires, spotters, extra fuel, recovery gear, spare parts... i also want to make it out to moab, ut.

 i have been planning a move to southern Tennessee though... have a bunch of family out there. one of my cousins has 250 acres of farm land up there and he said he'll give me one of the farm houses that sits on a 3 acre piece. no one else in the family wants the house, my great grandpa built the house right before WWII. and my grandpa was born in the house...

heres a pic of the house and 4 generations from a couple years ago
great grandpa, grandpa, my dad, me


here's the view from the front porch. and thats a spring fed creek that runs across the front of the property...

If it's sticking, she'll pull to the left when braking, may even grab upon acceleration.

Pull the caliper, replace the seals and O-rings...and the cup while your at it.

You need a front bumper, dude, at least one from a salvage yard until you can get the setup with the Warn winch on there...

You also need to head over to New Smyrna Beach and charge to pull out the morons that park too close to the water, pass out, and then find their cars door sill deep... :salut:  :salut:

Now how would I know that?  Nope, never happened to me, but seen it a ton of times... :lol:  :lol:
