This is the stock-est photo I have. Just Plastidipped grille and lights. At the Redwater sand dunes (beach sand in the middle of a forest, weird huh?)

New custom roof rack

I still find mud from this day, 2 years later.

They got a couple from the Waiparous run. Touched em up right away though. Spray paint is cheap!

Hefty's site says 12-15 weeks. It's around the 12 week mark right now.

Front bumper finally on! Only 14 months after ordering (11 months spent fighting for a refund from scam artist Corey and the insain group buy, 3 months to build and ship the Hefty)

 

[jackpot554]

What winch did you put Matt?

Edit: OK, just saw it in your built page, nice, where did you get it?

 

[zball94]

I got it at the 4WP show at northlands last year. Big sales on everything.

 

[Tribull]

That is gorgeous! The bumper looks great, as does the T-swap. How do you think the t swap effected your on-road handling? I'm trying to sell my wife on it right now!

 

[zball94]

Little more body roll, but still very controllable. It soaks up bumps and potholes much better than before (and where I live is known for potholes)

Would I do it over again? Definitely!

I'm going to be doing my suspension only titan sway really soon and will be reusing my Radflo 2.0 coilovers with spacers. I noticed you did the same. How has that been? Any binding in the CVs?

 

[zball94]

Everything's good with the coilovers. They were 2" on my factory suspension, and with 2" spacers the truck should be at 4" which is well within a T-Swap's capability.

That being said, I'll probably upgrade from my 600lb springs and 2.0 shock bodies down the road. I'll get the T-Swap specific coilovers.

(Keep in mind the ones I'm running now are factory length, I see yours are extended. That will make a difference in travel and possibly CV performance)

Swapped my front diff to M205 and rear axle to a locked M226! Now I just have to wire the locker to a toggle switch on the dash.

I'd follow Killswitch's write-up and use a switch with an indicator light so you know exactly when the locker is disengaged after turning it off

So, did it really take 14 months to get your bumper? Or was that a typo, and was 14 weeks?

11 months waiting in the Insain ripoff group buy. After I finally extracted a refund out of Corey, it was another 3 months waiting for the Hefty.
