Gopro hero 4 out at Jean yesterday. The truck really performs well, however come February I'm going to tear into it again. The list will be quite lengthy and expensive so it may take a while to get it all accomplished but I'll pick at it slowly but surely. The list will include the following:
Front
-King bump stops
-Front bumper/light bar
-Heimed steering upgrade
-Spindle gusset
-FORD grill

Rear
-King bump stops
-Limit straps
-Deaver SUA or spring over set up (still contemplating)
-Extedned break lines
-Raptor bedsides

Interior
-Lowrance GPS
-Radio/intercoms system

The trucks almost paid off so I'm debating wether to just pay cash and do different stages of the upgrades or just take out a small bank loan and do it all at once. If there's any input on what I'm doing or what you guys think would work better/best please let me know.

Pay it off bro. Do the rest as you can. This way you have incremental improvements for your build up and can give advice on which stuff had what impact.

How do you like the spring over setup? And thank you, that would probably be the smartest way to go about it.

WarSurfer

Going SUA will require notching the frame but will eliminate a lot of wheel hop. It's an intermediate step but if you can do it cheap enough it's a good way to go.

I'm SOA like factory but went with a custom canti setup - might be 4-link soon. All depends on how my health pans out.

Tsmith237

Wow that would be quite the upgrade, hope all the health works out in your favor. Who would be doing the work? Thanks for the input, I think I'll keep it SOA just to keep the cost down but still get the travel numbers a little higher. Any recommended shackles?

sub'd. I like seeing the unique customs people do to their rigs. Looks like you've got a perfect desert rig. Nice job.

Thank you, it always keeps me going when i hear stuff like that. Continue to check back in periodically for the updates to come.
