[BeenThereDoneThat]

I've been soaking up the knowledge on here for a while, but I figured that I would go ahead and join - and hopefully pass along some knowledge at some point in the future.
I've got a 97 80 Series - triple locked. I just put on an Icon 3" stage 3 lift (minus the rear shocks because they're not in stock for a few months), 35" Yokohoma Geolander X-ATs and 17" Black Rhino wheels. I'm waiting on White Knuckle sliders and transfer case armor, and a Prinsu roof rack. Don't judge me on the snorkel. The PO put that on there (it was completely stock with a freakin snorkel). I'm not planning on doing any deep river crossings, but there's no turning back once it's on there. The interior is shot, but I'll work on that as I go. I've already been eyeing some new leather seats, but for now I'd rather function over creature comfort.

With sea levels rising 2mm a year those of us with snorkels will get the last laugh.

Welcome to the chaos!

Keep in mind Bilt4me's steps to successes and you'll be good to go:
Make it stop
Make it run
Make it go
Make it reliable
Make it pretty

I seem to hover between the last two on the regular.

Welcome to MUD !! The snorkel mostly disappears when you take pictures from the drivers side. If nothing else, it’s a good avenue to run wiring to the roof rack.

Looks like a nice truck and a good start on modifications. Here’s a good thread on seat possibilities.

A few threads have been very useful to me over years, many of which are threads like the recent suspension coil and shock thread that @GWNugget started with a list of many of the available suspension options available and all the specs etc. I wanted to add a similar one for a topic that...
