Trimmed the rear fenders and took the plastic front bumper covers off...Now it needs some nice meaty tires...Leaning towards retreads, but they dont make 32's or 33's for 15's, so we'll see.

This advertises as waterproof and is also what i own, i used to have the not waterproof version then upgraded to this. The old one gave me issues so i dont expect this to
That's the one I ordered! I just test fit it last night to double check the bolt holes were going to line up. Looks pretty good so far. I have to wait until Monday to actually install since the powder coater was busy this week. 7 day turnaround is alright by me!

Going to the junkyard today to locate a power steering pump and maybe a durango steering box. Let's just make it there before I decide what I'm actually getting.

Is it just the camera angle or is your drive link in the last picture bowing/bent? Looks stock & curved.

Went up the mountain to get a Christmas tree. Here in Colorado the permit's $10 so get one! Otherwise it's a $125 fine and they take the tree.

First trip in the mud for her. She was very happy and ate up the mud. It did get a little deep but it was thick chunky mud, not soup so not a whole lot stuck.

I think she likes it dirty
