Thanks mantle build has come along very well and with the stock 4.10 gear 31x10.5 mild body lift aussie locker in the rear she can do about 90% of the trails here I Colorado get me too and from work using little gas mpg average is 23+ hwy/city great car with so many purposes...22re is the best engine I have ever had strong and fuel efficient...you got a build up???

nice runner! how do you like the spring mod?

 

Hey thanks for all the complements Z I have been watching yours you been in evergreen we should wheel some time I wanna go and run some trails off I70 this summer in live in the pretentious boulder area but we ant rich we go a trailer...are you planning on doing body work to our rig??? I'm not expert but if I could do it all over again it would have came out better I'm gonna post some new pic of the rig this weekend...mods to come skid plat and t case plate I'm gonna fab soon I will post that up on here the rig also needs major steering work I may splurge to the tc idler arm well see...

 

To Lc crawler the springs are ok rides higer and softer it was well worth the 30$spent but I may hang used 2.5 inch leafs and ball joints up front but I like me height now 1.5 body lift is good I just put on low profile bumps its flexing nice with the stock cv angle no need o change anything just armor and steering on call front locker would be nice but unecessary for wha I do...I'm locked inthe rear Aussie I really need to update pics you got a build up?

 

Heck ya. I want to run Red Elephant Hill, Billmore Lake, and Yankee Hill sometime this summer. I do plan on patchin up the holes in the bed eventually. I just aint had the time or funds to do it just yet. Whats up with your steering? That TC idler arm would be awesome.

 

ya i have a build up its in my sig...im thinkin about doin a longtravel front and im contemplating on what to do in the rear

 

 

 

 

 

So hope yall like my updated rigs pics Flexing a bit...Up next is t-case home fab plat and gas tank lift...tell me what yall think
