Well just an update of things happening with truckie. Had to replace both hub bearings because they were roaring badly. My radiator blew out the oil cooler line fitting so had to replace the radiator. Did another Amsoil change and replaced the front main seal and its back to burning/leaking no oil VERY happy for that.

Now im working on designs for my custom winch bumper and trying to find a 2500HD driveshaft and the right leaf springs to level out the rear.If anyone has any input on bumper design or material to use that would be great. I want to keep it under 300 pounds.

And I got these. Gotta order some 4.5 to 5 hub adapters and debating what color I should paint them.

Update.
Well guys had some set backs.
Went froadin two weeks ago and hydro locke my motor on the trail showing off. Pulled the plugs out and pushed out about a gallon of water haha. Dried the plugs and tada shes good!
Then last week I went again and this time my Tcase got stuck in 4hi. Driving home going 35mpg because I cant turn dick with my locker up front made it interest. So 500 dollars later for parts and a new module and shes back for more.

Gonna snap some shot soon and get some videos and crawling and boggin up. Hope yall enjoy.

you need some rock sliders so you can use the high lift. I used it on my blazer and bent up the rocker my door never closed right after that...
