The first little offroad trip... muddin! (@ a OHV)

next up the cornfed spacers

next was back to the black safari bar and i added the surco safari rack with another set of piaa 520's on the rack

 

[TheJosh]

by this time i was done with the cornfed and ready for a real suspension, so picked up the OME medium duty setup

after

two piaa lights up top were not enough so i added a full set along with the hilift extreme and a mount to hold it

then i switched out my stock headlamps and tails for the black ones

also added the rear bumper guard, this will work til i can find a full rear bumper that i actually like

better shot of the hilift mount
