I'm glad you like it, and glad it has sparked interest! It sure seems to cost me alot of money, but it is a blast to build and don't regret starting one bit!

I got them through my local offroad outlet store, they had been sitting on their shelf for quite a while. I guess they got tired of looking at them and wanted to get rid of them quick because I got a great deal. I believe they ordered them straight from Trail Gear, but I'm not sure. His main website seems to be having problems, but here is his facebook page. You can call and ask him if you would like. His name is Dave, really awesome guy.

i love your early christmas present! that is one of the many things i want to do to my rig. (ill be keeping my rear view thought lol).

man i miss cali if for nothing else than the wheeling and all the cool places you guys have down there. id love to go back to mono lake and explore al around down there and spend a couple of days a bodie again you lucky dog

 

that little monitor unit is sweet! how hard was the wiring? pretty basic...?

 

Well if you get down to Cali more than once this year, we can make a trip out to my cabin, which is right on mono lake and 2 miles from the south entrance to bodie. It would give us a good base to stay and explore all the local trails for a couple days. There is still so much out there I would like to explore.

 

You can count me in Stockwell. Let me know for the future.

I will be headed past Mono Lake this summer during my road trip to KY.

 

The wiring sucked! theres a bunch of write ups on it, but mine seemed to be a little different than most of them. For me, it involved ripping out my dash and tracking down a bunch of little wires by their color, and taking a leap of faith by cutting them and splicing into them and hoping it was the right one lol. But it all worked out in the end and its definitely awesome.

I definitely will. I try to head out there about once a month if I can, I actually just got back from there a week ago since all the passes are open. Nows the time to go if any of you wanted to explore the eastern Sierras, the weather is amazing and its not super hot.

When you do leave to head that direction, just let me know. I'll just plan to be at the cabin during that time.

 

Will do, I'll keep you posted when I am headed out. Would be a good moment to stretch my legs.

Just keep me posted when you are wanting to have some adventure in your neck of the woods. I have never explored any of the area and I need to break in my new suspension.

 

Come up anytime, I'm always ready to wheel around here!

Even though there has been no mud or snow, Forest Service still has closed many of the best forest roads around here, but there are still lots of more mild trails. I'll research what is open and get back to you.

 

New rubbers are on.

Hopefully I can keep some tread on these this time!

 

No 35s?

 

Looks awesome

 

It does look awesome.

 

I just went from a set of baldies to new mud tires too. It's awesome. You can actually get traction when you're not on pavement. Congrats.

 

Maybe next time. Theres still some fitment issues I need to work out with the rear bumper to clear 35's. I need to measure what I will need to clear the rear bumper at full stuff with the new 33's, then trim that much off plus a little extra for the 35's. For now though the 33's are fine with me

 

I have not posted on your thread becouse all I have to add is AWSOME RIG, that said I only hope mine will be as respectable as your one day. the new tires look great.

 

Thanks Jason! Wish we had more 3rd gen owners like you around here, It would be nice to wheel with someone with the same vehicle.

 

Are those 33x10.5's or 33x12.5's? Sorry didn't see where/if you posted the size.

 

I hear ya, I catch a lot of flack for wheeling mine at all. I would love to come out to your part of the country and wheel some day.

 

Had the first big wheeling trip since the new tires yesterday, and I had one big problem. The way my rear bumper was made wouldn't allow my new tires to stuff without hitting the bumper and digging into my tread. When the bumper was made, I had semi bald 33's and it wasn't a problem then. I didn't forsee that it would be a problem with larger tires. Today I plasma cutted parts of the sides off to clear 33's when stuffing, as well as 35's if I get them later down the road.

After

 

Squaw Ridge in August come on out!
