Thanks man!
It'll get bumpers eventually. Prerunner tube style in the rear, and a hybrid in the front. They just haven't been high on the priority list.
I'll do rock sliders eventually, but with my shirt wheel base and high ground clearance, I haven't needed them.
I've heard the same...
No light in thrash tray. Ash tray is long gone now, my radio lives in its place.
I'll look into a lock right. Current plan is to swap in a Toyota e-locker axle, housing and third all at once and maybe convert to cable actuated down the road.

I think you have a valid point. However, once you leave pavement and start heading down an uneven bumpy road, vehicle balance is already very much compromised. Typical overlanders don't move at the rate of speed your average track car sees, and aren't upset by the minute changes you could see in...
Gain loads of travel over the factory equipment. Gain a lot more control over the suspension. I can handle more weight on rougher roads for much longer periods of time without them fading.
I can also bomb the huge dips around town at 50mph and not even feel them. The truck rides on a cloud on...
I straight abuse this poor truck, and my rear Kings have taken a beating over time. The valving has always been too soft, causing my to introduce my bump stops to my frame more often than i'd like. Decided to finally ramp things up, and worked with King to determine a new baseline, about 30%...
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...
My truck still has all factory axle breathers, so i ordered ARB's breather kit. 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.
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 / ******* 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...
Finally got around to wiring up my switches so that the lower LED's are illuminated whenever accessory power is on. I.e. whenever the truck is running. I wanted to wire them into the gauge backlight, so they came on when i switched on the headlights, but i could not find a suitable power lead...
I hard mounted my antenna to the bed rack. This way i can keep the rear window closed, and possibly even replace it with a one piece window. This also allows me to take the antenna off so i can fit in my garage, parking garages, drive throughs, etc without the fuss of trying to feed the coax...
July of 2016, Made our way up to Coyote Flats above Bishop. Perfect weather in the mid 30's at night, 60's and low 70's during the day.
Our campsite was extremely unpleasant with a babbling creek running through the middle...
Yep!! The wheelbase is almost as small as a Jeep, but it drives better on road. This little truck takes a thrashing and just asks for more. The Rubicon is on my short list of trails to hit next summer.
