Hi, I'm a fng from South Carolina. I have an 05 ext 4wd. Current mods are pretty limited but include
3" lift
33" terra grapplers
Sway bar delete
Wheel spacers 1.5"
Roof rack with relocated spare
Resonator delete
Icom radio with milspec antenna
Iridium Satellite Phone with milspec antenna
Future mods include
Custom front and rear bumpers
Roof and bumper mounted lighting
4.10 gear swap with lockers
Pipe dreams include
Solid axle conversion
6.0l
4l80 trans
Rear 3 link
Fox or king coil over conversion
So far it's a mild trail/expedition vehicle and any suggestions would be great!
If it's not obvious, I'm military so alot of the goodies I'm adding are things I've gathered over some years there.

Welcome! Sounds like you have a real good start! I use Tapatalk app on my phone to upload pics, cause I can't figure out the Other ways. Lol
You asked for suggestions. MDB radiator skid. Mine has saved my truck many times. Do you have stock front springs and shocks?

Front Springs are factory for now, it still has the factory style (new) bilstein's in the front. I'm trying to determine the best route to go. I'm a long travel junkie so I'm trying figure out a front axle instead of upgrading to stuff I'll throw away

Sounds like a great beginning. I'll 2X what Eric said. Protect that engine and radiator ASAP.
We'll probably have another TECORE sometime this fall. Would love to have you join us since you're fairly close.

Erik is a retard, the new theme auto sizes, enjoy it, there's a fair bit of content you miss out on with Tapatalk. Alot of effort and money was put into making the mobile theme. Give it a chance, there's a good image uploader.
Looks like a nice setup you got there.
