Thanks Tony!

So far it's definitely fulfilling everything I've intended it to do.

The rear shocks need some tuning, and I need 650's up front vs the 600's I have I think.

As always, Bailey at Baja Designs hooked it up with some more awesome lights. Bought another pair of S2 Pro's to use as camp setup / work / area / asshole driver lights to mount on the sides of my freshly powdercoated bed rack. stoked to see the pieces of this coming together.

Also pre-ordered their new tube mount dome light. Super stoked for that!

My truck still has all factory axle breathers, so i ordered ARB's breather kit (courtesy of Craven Motorsports). Has a really nice filter, and can connect up to 4 driveline breathers into a single vent. High speed push lock fittings and rigid 8mm tubing.

Somewhat disappointed by finding this much debris in the breather manifold. Always assumed ARB was above average quality. The anodizing looks good, all the parts fit perfectly. Just didn't think i would find this...

Welcome to ARB's asian quality control. Almost EVERYTHING is made OS now, not sure what they still make at the factory here.
