At the tire shop fit testing tire sizes. the gentlemen at utp tire was very helpful and cause i helped i ended up with a great deal. I had to do some light triming on the front bumper and rocker panel cover but that was expected.

while installing the skyjackers i decided to remove the runner boards. my daughters first exit from it lifted and without runners resulted in a fall. all i heard from upfront was a door open and thud. :lol:

finished for now. more updates will be posted as they come, too bad about MDB FAB as it would have been a nice investment down the road but im sure ill come up with something for the bumpers down the road.
So for now im ready to hit some light trails, next should be some under armour and recovery equipment. :excited: :camping: :cheers:
