That blazeland kit is awsome. I want one lol. I think you should change that winch tho. I use a 50$ winch to fold my table saw up the wall and its nevr enough for a truck lol.
Keep the pics coming!!

Looks good! I am heading out to the desert next weekend.... you should meet up with us. Also I noticed the UCA Extension Bracket bolts may have been mixed around. The (3) 1.25" long bolts go on the outer holes and the (5) 1.50" long bolts go on the inner holes. I should probably just supply the longer bolts so no one comes up short.

yeah, I did notice two of my bolts on my uca ext were switched after i was finished, maybe i'll fix it today.

I wish I could go out with you guys but i'm going to be in hurgry valley OHV (gorman) next week puttin mine and my buddies rig to the test for the first time.

BTW U did a GOOD job on makeing those arms the alignment was Perfect in rage. I set my cambers a bit postive and my casters both around 3.5. its good for now. I think after I take it out ill bring in back in for alig and turn down the caster on the driver side cuz it has a slight pull to the right.

I put my 33x12.5 -15 on friday, ill take some pixs looks like 35 will fit EZ
