well I think that I'm going to go with a lighter color on the suspension pieces because I can, but you can't beat the factory color for durability. I know the gloss black gets crazy dirty and shows every scratch but I don't need to be messing with a good thing. Front shocks came in today, pulled the rusty front tow points and replaced them with bigger red ones, I have huge red D rings under the front bumper now. I'll be taking a trip to AZ tomorrow where I will hopefully get my new tires, maybe rocksliders, and some more camping stuff. After that I'll be taking a trip to Calico near Vegas on the 1st and do some light trails and camp while we are there. My brother just picked up a monster lifted Titan and I want to school him on the finer points of recovery and trail rides
