Nostalgia build (1 Viewer)

Thanks! I'm still adjusting from the step down in comfort and tech from the last 10 years but overall I'm pretty happy with the build so far

Slee has some good stuff

Yeah, I had the same adjustment. The 80 series over time will win you over. I remember driving it back from Arizona wondering what I just bought and why is an 80 series such a big deal. Now I couldn’t imagine selling it. I’m sure the boat loads of time and money I’ve spent on it have something to do with it.

My ADD strikes again and I might sell the rig already, Nostalgia has worn off and I'm wanting a newer project. Figured I'd give anyone who likes the build a heads up before I post it elsewhere. This is still a build thread and not a classified, so for any questions or comments in that regard please DM me.

Immaculate example with 118k miles, 250 miles on tires. Clean from CA, I'm 2nd owner. No, there's nothing wrong with it, this is just what I do. Around 40k

Slee installed a prototype battery/redarc/dual compressor mount, Jackson/Brian and the crew did a great job getting me sorted.

Also got a replacement rear bumper on, regeared to 5.29s, added lockers, cdl switch, and fixed some of my carelessness! The rig is feeling sooo good with the gears.

Installed the bowfin as well, even being so similar to my last Prinsu it's still much better quality. Thanks @dogfishlake !

What did Slee end up doing about the rear bumper? Complete replacement or some sort of reinforcement? Was it the weight of a 37" tire causing the arm to sag? I've got a Slee rear bumper waiting to go on and now hoping I dont run into any issues.

Complete replacement. They had a bad batch of welds from one of their manufacturers causing an arm failure.

New one is fine.
