Yes and Woodcraft. I built a 3rd bay (one car) on my detatched garage and its all woodworking tools, I put my big dust collector in the 2 car side along the wall and ran the pipes between the studs to save myself some floor space.

Iāve modified the overall exhaust a bit. Added a small resonator to the MBRP 3ā, cut the 2.5ā reduced section out of the beginning of the MBRP for full 3ā and replaced that with a flex pipe thatās welded to the actual downpipe. And of course the truck is tuned from 5star.

Hey Hoosier - did you ever upgrade to Deaver progressive rear springs? I read some non-so-good stories about the stack springs with blocks

Thanks Tyler, I actually haven't experienced any issue with my rear springs/blocks, (sagging, etc.), other than the ride quality could be improved. With my Diamondback cover, Frontrunner rack/tray, ARB fridge, portable winch, jack, and gear, I probably have about 400-500 lbs on the bed at all times, but I have a 18" car hauler I use occaisionally to haul stuff including my Bronco (once).
Unrelated question: did you ever install a brake controller?. If so, any recommendations, dealer, U-hall, local shop, wireless (Echo?)?

My main purpose for the add a leaf was to get some rake back after lifting the front (Level isnāt practical for me) and to add a little extra load capacity in the rear so that I still have rake when fully loaded for camping.Thanks Tyler, I actually haven't experienced any issue with my rear springs/blocks, (sagging, etc.), other than the ride quality could be improved.

I do not have a brake controller, I donāt tow often and when I do, itās usually just a small trailer to move random stuff like yard equipment(plate compactor, vibratory plow, aerator, etc.).

I'm sorry, if you said earlier I couldn't find it; what trail armor package is that? Is that Shrockworks as well?Got Shrockworks front and rear diff skids put on. Theyāre a nice addition to the trail armor.

Well done Tyler!
Love the rack, and more so that it's custom.
Best part of any build thread is seeing the truck in use as intended. Three wheelin to boot! Again, well done.

Thank you! I love it. My buddy off roads with his f150 and had to borrow my truck for a few days while his bumper got painted. He gave it back and said it was way too much fun. Said it feels damn near like driving a rally car. Lol

Agreed, I'm down-sizing from a F150Screw with 6.5' box. This feels like an ATV on trails by comparison. It's amazing off-road.
And great bumper choice too!

great flares! I will have to see if those are still avaiable. Thats a quick nice mod. Great build, My tremor package will soon be like this.So I used my points and ordered Lund Sport flares through the dealership. However, I ended up receiving bushwhacker extended flares. But what I got was the ones withOUT the fake bolt on which is good because it not a fan of those. So...I stared at them for a bit and decided I might actually like them. What do you think?
