First trip out with the new gear. Had to take it a bit easy as I'm still breaking in my new gears. Went with 5.13s and really happy I did. Also obligatory post-suspension flex shot.

That's all for now - more to come later!

Got my suspension installed and clearanced the wheels. I went with Teraflex fixed arms, EVO plush 3" coils, Bilstein 5100s, Teraflex bumpstops, Synergy front trackbar bracket and flipped drag link, teraflex rear track bar bracket, and EVO C gussets. I'm pretty happy with this suspension overall, though the 'plush' coils leave a little to be desired in terms of ride quality. I may try a different spring in the future.

Next up is a JCR Crusader mid-width rear bumper with shield gate swinging tire carrier. I mounted the new spare wheel but haven't been able to mount the rest of the wheels yet as I've got some cutting to do first, and suspension.

The bumper is back from powdercoating and installed! I'm really glad I happened to do the headlights first because it occurs to me now that the only way to get my grill off is to remove the entire bumper. This bumper was a real pain to install so I'm not keen to do it again.

New bumper and wheels arrived - I got the Motobilt Crusher series bumper with grill hoop and stinger. Pictured here in bare steel waiting on powdercoat. I also grabbed a set of 37x12.5 Cooper STT Pro tires on 17" XD820 rims, pictured beside the old wheel.
