I've been lurking around the forums long enough. Thought I would share the progress on my rig from day 1.

The afternoon I brought the runner home:

Only 92,000 miles, a 2" BL, 33" all-terrains... not a bad deal.

The first upgrade were some backspaced rims. Decided it was best to widen the stance before raising it.

Hunting on Wolf Springs Ranch near Westcliffe, CO

The next mod was a pair of Trail Gear sliders. Scott at Addicted Offroad in Greeley helped put these on. Great guy with great experience.


The Yakima Q-Clip Rack was the next thing to get a face lift. Slee Offroad out of Golden provided the jack mounts and I fabbed up my own light and axe/shovel mounts.

Medano Pass

Isn't Craigslist great?! Found 1st Gen rollbars from a junk yard in Aurora for $15, almost got attacked by rabid guard dogs, and had this thing put in pretty quickly. Still a tight squeeze even after the 2" hack.


Ordered the Airaid Jr. Kit. Little power and MPG boost.


After many months of saving, the OME kit from Toytec went on! While it's not a SAS, it definitely helps with flex and completely eliminates rubbing.

Illinois Gulch


Next was a CB radio and antenna.

 

i love that front man, nice runner! I was thinking about the Airaid Jr Kit on my runner as well. How do you like yours?

 

Thanks man! I love it. Why I went this route instead of just doing the common ISR mod is because this one keeps all of the stock vacuum hoses. Thought that would be safer than just going to an exhaust shop for a piece of tube haha.

This kit is also great because it comes with a brand new, lifetime warranty filter. Good buy IMO.

 

Hey man, just ordered the Airaid Jr kit should be here in a few days!

 

Sweet I'll look for it on your build up thread! Let me know if you have any questions!
