   Thanks, doing the mods myself was satisfying, reliving my youth, when I was into the SoCal mini-monster and pre-runner scene..

Props to you, at our age I only do the minor things.

I'm a golf club fitter / builder on the side, It had been a long time since I dusted off and opened my big tool box....

I did the big mods during the first year of ownership...a few pics of other
stuff since then.....

Bed accessories for offroad day trips, and Lux rock lights for bro-crawling malls...

Swing case, ARB Ford Performance portable 12V air compressor kit in a box, Overland Vehicle Systems recovery boards, Kobalt shovel, Marine/Auto fire extinguisher, cooler.

8 Lux LED white rock lights, Lux rocker switch, Lux Pro installer box for Spod systems...I don't have auxiliary/ trigger on my truck , so I had to add the inline fuse and do a little extra wiring myself...

Update for the last couple mods I did back in April before celebrating 2 years of ownership....

Tom Woods 1 piece drive shaft. I also added a 5° shim to get the Pinion angle to 0.4° lower than the transfer case output flange, to allow for axle wrap.... I did it because the stock 2 pc.
was making the whistle/squel sound of failure...was worth the $$$ and effort...vibrations at highway speeds completely disappeared....

I also added the Faction Fab Billet 1.0" wheel spacers...used my Stage3 Motorsports rewards points to get one helluva deal. ( Thanks Frank ) This was done for future tire and wheel combo options....I like my current skinny 32" tires with the Ford BAP wheels...but with the 55mm offset it looked like my truck skipped leg day..Kind of digging the 2" wider, more aggressive looking stance...
