couple of updates:

i switched up the lighting up front and pretty stoked on it!!!

once i get the s8 back behind the grille i'll be pushing 100k lumens and the ability to go nocturnal should allow desert time earlier and later in the season

Those lights are awesome! I always liked the big circle lights on broncos. Whats up next? Trip or update?

too damned hot for this kinda driving brother- plan is to get everything ready for a killer fall season and be out there often.

looks like you're gonna be in position to get some trips in yourself- awesome!

one more update: i did swap the floppy fish outta water sideview mirrors out. not a huge fan of the looks, but Desolate is the only game in town and they are solid and still.

couple of shots of them to follow:

I get it. About died trying to mount the coilovers yesterday. Yessir i hope so. Mirrors wise i always wanted to make mirrors for the corner of the wing window. Ones that would follow the contour of the door. Those look nice and only take 1 additional hole.

Super clean and I'm with you on the mirrors. Knocked one of the factory mirrors off and replaced with some of Rockauto's finest. Can barely see out of them with all the shaking and vibrations.

I had enough of the BAJAS on the pavement.

Love those tires in the dirt, but they howled like no other on the street. And that's half my miles in this truck.

When I first got the beadlocks; BFG didn't have the KM3 out yet.

So, time to give them a try. So far so good- not much louder than the KO2s I have on the non beadlock Alcoas.

Hope to test em out in the desert next weekend....

Of course I had to polish em up again while they were naked..
