I have a 2017 200 I would like to modify with suspension, bumpers, gears, sliders, and probably lockers.
I've decided on the following:
King 2.5 suspension (will probably order from Filthy Motorsports)
TJM T13 front bumper, color matched
Willy beamin's rear bumper, color matched (already ordered)
4.88 gears (i think, but am open to other ratios)
I like Slee sliders, but am open to others.
I'm not sure I need lockers as I only do mild offroading in CO one week a year (think Black Bear pass), but part of me thinks I might as well have it done when the diffs are open to re-gear.
I've talked to Slee offroad and they can install customer supplied suspension, but they haven't installed King suspension on a 200. They can order the TJM T13, but I would be responsible for having the bumpers coated or painted. I know they have a great reputation on this forum, but they're 10 hours away from me. That wouldn't be a problem if I could just drop off my vehicle for a week or two, but I would also need to coordinate bumper painting there. I guess I could have both bumpers shipped to me and have them painted locally, but them I have to get them to Colorado.
At this point, I'm tempted to just accumulate all the parts and take them to a closer shop to have everything done. Can anyone vouch for a Texas shop? I'm in Midland, so would prefer something close to, or west of, I-35. I really don't want to drive to Houston.
