The new bumper looks nice 👍
Fitment and work like that takes time and lots of it.

Installed a 5th gen battery tray this week. Had to cut and move the power steering resivor mount. One of the bolts matched up with the hole, but I had to drill the other three. Battery is an x2 group 34 deep cycle battery and it fits perfect.

Finished dual battery install w/ blue sea fuse block. Wired my led light bar to this, and it is bright. Works good for the little that I will use it.


Replaced rear bearings, brake pads, rotors, parking brake shoes, and all seals. Wanted to do it since I am towing a 5000 pound camper now. Better to be safe than sorry.


Just a little update since it has been a while.

Since I am towing now, I added an aux transmission cooler, which will help a lot on those big hills.


Also re-geared the front and rear diffs. Went from a 3.73 to 4.56. I got complete diffs from east coast gear supply and they were great! I notice a huge difference in power, and they told me with 285 tires and this gearing, it is a little higher than stock. Definitely will help with hauling that trailer. Just finished my 500 mile break in period so I'm changing the oil this weekend.


I am jumping in on a RCI group buy and getting my fuel tank skid and some sliders. This will complete my armor from RCI and all that's left is a rear bumper.

on to the photos:


Here is a side view. (note: my driveway is angled so take that into account.)



A view from the front with the new light bar for $30 off Amazon!



The dual battery setup:






and finally the switches for the dual battery and light bar. the battery switch didn't quite fit, so I had to dremmel a little bit on each side of the opening, then it slid right in.
