It wasn‘t bad at all to install. The toughest part is trimming the bumper mounts on the frame. You do have to move your spare.

Pretty minor updates. Finally deleted the chrome all of the truck. Took the truck to Soldier Pass in Sedona and was nice going on a trail with not many other trucks. After 8 months also finally got my license plate from the DMV!

Minor updates here and there. Been taking the truck out on little trips here and there. Here are some pics from the past couple of months.
Out on the Arizona Peace Trail (that front license plate got taken off going into some washes)
Kofa Wilderness early morning run
Little California snow run
Joshua Tree run/camping trip alongside some OB members.

They have them on their website. They were to celebrate their 50th and they may still have them on there.

Finally bought a mount for my fire extinguisher instead of letting it sit under the backseat unsecured. I used a bracket made by Desert Does It that fits perfectly under the front seat. Fits real good and doesn't rattle while driving. One thing to keep in mind is that if you have the automatic seats you can't move the seat fully forward anymore.

Probably the last major upgrade to the truck (knock on wood
) but got new King 2.5 coilover/shocks front and rear, SPC UCA, and Deaver Springs. I bought them from Filthy Motorsports and highly recommend them. I bought the custom tuning/consultation to make sure it was valved right for the weight of my truck. To my surprise, the owner of the company, Ben, was the one still making the consult calls and we had a good hour conversation on what I wanted. I ended up asking for a more aggressive valving. They even want me to send measurement and pictures after 1000 miles to make sure the springs and everything is good. So far so good, but the suspension is still settling in and will report once I've had them on a trail for a bit.

It’s been quite awhile since I’ve updated the build thread but there has not been many crazy changes. However, I am now moving to V3 of my build and prepping for a Super Pacific X1. Here is a photo dump from random trips.

That's completely wrong. Look up "fullsizeinvasion" on IG. I run a '11 Silverado 2500 with a Fourwheel Camper on the back, it's solid front axle swapped and has 37"s, 4.56s, and ARBs front and rear. I do some pretty "hardcore" trails with a camper on the back...

So V3 of my build is fully underway! In December, got my SuperPacific X1 camper installed and immediately put some side windows on them.
Then I installed the Kammok Crosswing 7ft awning That I got this during their Kickstarter campaign.
I then went to OC Metal Fabrication to get a custom dual swing out installed on my existing SVC bumper, and they did an amazing job making it strong and light.
Finally, reinstalled my FE1 scene lights as well as my chase bar. After a month of being in the shop for the bumper, I’m ready to take this out on its maiden run.
