i went out in the desert with @FlightMedic178 when his 200 was less than a week old. He was rockin 41psi street tires on a stock truck, he was already hitting it hard and getting it done. Rock gardens and river crossings. I live seeing people use shiny new trucks like this.I gotta hand it to you man, you can set a goal and get it done. Not sure I could take mine out the day after abuse it like that.

Haha my thought process is.... can’t really afford the truck anyway.... so when they come to repo it... they won’t want it back!

I just took my week old (to me) ‘13 down a flurry of Jeep trails to break her in last weekend . I appreciate the commitment to sending it.
Fantastic job. Great to see this done. Is your vehicle lifted at all?

Yes the OME standard lift
Really like this idea...especially since you can jack from that rear pipe slider/bumper. Shows it will take a hit and follows my desire to keep my rig as light as possible. I want to find a way to carry max trax and shovel. I've been avoiding carrying anything on the roof but may end up strapping max trax and shovel up there as well as an awning. I'm going to look into chopping the front. I imagine it has been done already. Just need some pipe protection and a winch mount.
You can drill holes into the OEM crossbars and secure the Maxtrax using their mounting pins. I imagine you could do something similar with the shovel. Credit to @mcgaskins for the idea/inspiration.

200 Front Bumper Chop
After numerous requests.. 🤪 I’ve decided to chop off the lower half of my front bumper. The rear bumper chop went so well I decided... what the heck. I’m extremely happy with how it turned out. The entire project took around 6 hours. The tools required were: -angle grinder with a metal...

I really dig the stance of your truck. What particular OME springs did you use front and rear? Also, what tire size?

Here’s a screen shot of my order from cruiser outfitters.
It was suppose to be a 2 inch lift and ended up about 3 inches because of the heavy springs I’m thinking. Even without UCAs it aligns completely fine. Also... it rides plenty squishy for my taste.... not harsh at all.
The tires are 275/70/18 KM3s
I loved yours so much I made my own
Did you also weld directly to the frame? Pics from underneath?
Yep welded to the frame
You now have permission to remove the tie down.
I will do !!!
