Build almost done

I ordered the final two pieces of my DD/Survival build in the form of a front and rear Marlin Crawler bumper. I'm going north to Navajo Lake this next weekend with my Jeep buddy and hope they get here in time.


Just an update.
2500$ initial investment
500$ to get it in good running shape
400$ gears
400$ tires
270$ locker
700$ rock armour (might be more if I go ahead and order the Bud Built plate)

So far I'm sitting on 4770$ (roughly) out of pocket for a dang good vehicle that will haul all of my gear anywhere that I want to go and do so at better than 22 mpg.

Horray for me!!!!!!!!!!!

The install was gross easy, really. In my opinion it feels much more stable on the road. I haven't gone off road yet as I'm still in the break in period. This next weekend will be the first test. I'll post up some pics and a summary when I get back.

So far though I'd say get one. After a couple of days you'll forget its' even back there.
