Here are the mods:

Scorpion Racing 2.5 springs (4X4AG.com)
ProComps ES9000HD shocks (dap-inc.com)
Maxxis Mudders 245/75/16

All I need to do is take a test run and test the suspension.

That looks really nice Abraham - you just pick that up recently? I like the un-dented body panels!

I got it last November. I haven't really driven it until now. I had to take care of some issues first (heater fan, fan resistor, belts, new windshield, bushings and new suspension). The biggest hurdle was putting the dashboard back together after the heater fan installation. I was so discouraged because of time and budget restraint. I did have a lot of help too.

Great looking truck! It appears to be in really good shape. Did you get your diff guards yet from John or Adrian?

No protection of any kind yet. Those are next in line. My focus went on to repairing the D2 after an accident I had on Friday.

I lost control and hit a 2' concrete foundation with a metal fence pole on top. The wheel hit the concrete and the body hit the pole. The radius arm bent pushing the axle 6" back and have some body damage.

WOW! I think you should hang that arm up on the wall after you replace it - must have been a pretty good hit.

Wow! I feel your pain. Let me know if you need a good body shop in Jersey. I have a few "friends".

I was a nice hit.
Good idea! I might just do that. LOL.

I'll keep this in mind Jason. Unfortunately I can't drive it anywhere until I replace the radius arm. I'm looking for the parts as we speak. With the help of the crew (Eric, Jarek, Andy, Ryan, Dan, and maybe Gwie) I think we can fix it in under 2 hours. Hopefully I'll get the parts soon.

Ouch looks painful. Hope you and any passengers are OK though.
