Well it wasn't today more like this weekend. But I pulled off my rough country long arm kit and welded on tnt custom frame stiffeners with some custom long arms my buddy made a while back and also added some v8zj coils so I have a bout 7" up front with 14" travel bilsteins and we customized my rough country track bar so it would work with the height.

Ordered HD Offroad Engineering frame stiffeners, shackle relocation boxes, and complete floors and rocker plates from C2C Fabcrication.

Guess I'd better submit that expense claim if I wanna pay for this stuff lol

Forgot to post yesterday but went to the JY and got WJ knuckles Everything came off super easy I'm glad I had my impact with me or I would've never gotten those axel nuts off! Only took about an hour and the guy who charger me called them steering spools?! So I guess I got a pretty good deal! There's probably enough WJ's in there to grab 5 more pairs of knuckles.

Holy carp are those the brake caliper holes? Those things are huuuuge! I didn't realize just how large WJ brakes were before...

There was no shortage of water holes from all the rain, but not too much glop. (at least on the green and orange trails I was on)

The campground at the badlands off road park?
