Thanks Dave. Hopefully I will have some updates soon!

Cheers mate, just bring yourself home safe aye...

Oh and on the doors, I like the looks of the Dimple Die or the plain tube the most, but I think that the expanded metal grating would be the best functioning as it gives you protection but still gives air-flow. As I said, I prefer the style of the other two, but the expanded grating won't look "bad" by any means IMO. Tube doors are so great in the summer, I finally made some for my 1st Gen and I'm already planning some out for the new Diesel 2nd Gen I'm building.

ARBs and 5.29s installed. .008 backlash and good paint.

 

[Warlord6]

rear housing had to be clearanced. Really demonstrates the difference in thickness therefore strength, between OEM and these Nitro gears.

Ordered new lighting from Steve at Southeast Overland

13.5" Lifetime LED dual row bar for front, and a 3" 6 LED cube for rear.

So, my buddy that installed the 5.29's and crawler gears for me was going to deliver the truck to my house yesterday. Before loading up he decided to do a test run on the rock pile behind the shop. Dropped it in 4Low,first gear, center diff locked, front and rear diffs locked and it climbed great, then POP! He got under the truck and found that all the new torque had ripped the trans mount in half! So, new HD deisel LC trans mount en route. Glad he found it now and not during my trip in Februaury.

Purchased new armor.
