I had a rough start with my truck... but I got those ironed out. here is what is next.

I have ordered just waiting for the arrival.
3.5 dual rate MetalCloak lift
Fox 2.0 shocks

Once I install it all I will update the pictures on the next post...


what is coming next
15LB power tank
molle panels for bed
front bumper - I have no idea what I want.
winch - I have no idea what I want minus I do want synthetic line
KC light bar LEDs
LED headlights
quake LED DRL and turns
LED fog lights

suggestions welcome.

Although I love the look, I'd skip the AEV Salta XR wheels and choose something that has a removeable bash ring (not necessarily a beadlock). One trip to Windrock will have those things looking bad.

I've been surprised at how hard it is to find wheels with this. There are beadlock-look wheels but few have the replaceable bash rings. The ones i'm aware of are the AEV Borahs, ICON Compression, Alpha, and Rebound. The ICON rings i found not on their site, but from PolyPerformance.

They are hard to find but they do exist.
AEV Borah and their Mopar twins have a protection ring and can also but changed to a beadlock. Same with the Dirtylife DT series wheels (DT1 & DT2). Vision Nemesis has a removeable ring as well.

I appreciate the feedback. I am set on the Saltas though. I was set on bead locks for a while but my interests wont really need them, and I really like that the AEV wheels have the least amount of poke, and are built for the gladiator, I appreciate that part of it.

Putco bed rack forward one only for now.
15lb powertank. In hindsight I should have got the snorkel for the tank... I had originally planned to have the tank standing but didn't like it... I can always remove it and stand it while filling tires but it is what it is.

Do you know what a sh*t-barometer is Bubbles? It measures the sh*t-pressure in the air, listen Bubs you hear that? The sounds of the whispering winds of sh*t

My favorite quote.

Also

This was the rank the other way... I don't like it. It needs to take the sh*t tornado back to Oz.
