Currently at SDtrux for 90k services, TB services. Then mods will begin, first order of business was the AHC override which I got from Slee yesterday. Still researching the goodies to fit my over landing needs.

Woohoo, pulled the trigger on a full ARB Sahara bar today, will have it powder coated once it arrives. Also ordered the ARB snorkel kit. Still debating on tires after searching and researching countless posts and reviews.
Narrowed down to Nitto Terra or Trail Grappler, or Duratrac
Can't decide on 275/70r18 or 285/65r18. Will keep stock AHC until it dies. Not going to do rear bumper with swing out right now as not ready to rip out AHC yet. Will also be towing a 2000 lbs off road trailer.
Eventual mods: Titan 12k winch with synthetic line, Rigid Industry 20" LED light bar for Front Runner 2.4m roof rack, dual battery system when AHC gets tossed. ARBs front and rear.
Very excited!!! After countless hours of reading MUD and staying up late after the wife hits the sack, I finally am ready to put this project together.

Can't wait for the Firestone MT or Trail Grappler MTs as those have back orders.... Decided to go with (5) 275/70R18 Terra Grappler. Will be installed today.
I will pick up a separate set of MTs and 17" wheels down the road. This way I can have the best of both world.
Very excited, going to Anza Borego tomorrow.

It fits, clearance looks ample at normal height, I do have Slee AHC override. I trusted my decision based upon countless hours of MUD surfing. Looks way better!! Very happy
Maxdog1969 are you camping out in Anza Borrego with us next weekend? If you want more details, PM me...
