Looking good neighbor!

 

Here’s the truck as of 01/05/2019. I was recently backed into by my girlfriends mom in her driveway, ended up needing new passager fender, headlight, and bumper. I did all the work my self and bought an ARB bull bar. I’m still waiting on the bumper to ship but I’m very excited

Here’s some pictures of the damage. I’m lucky they were very agreeable and used insurance money myself to repair the damage for less than 1/2 the cost of the shop including an arb bumper. Shop quoted $2700 lol

 

Front bumper is on!! Arb overenginerred the crap out of this thing, it looks great. Hopefully I’ll get out wheeling with it soon and maybe a winch in the near future.

 

Looks great OP. I love my ARB bar.

 

Finally got around to putting in these Sway-Away coilovers. 2.5 shocks with 650lbs Eibach springs. I know these are a bit old but I traded them from an old guy on criegslist for my oem running boards lol. I checked them out and there is no signs of leakage from the shocks themselves, no rust on the threads, but a little rust on the coils. I swapped out my 5100s on stock coils for these and they ride so much better. If anyone has any history on SAW let me know. It seems like there’s a lack of info on these along with very dated TW posts. I’ve heard they are just rebranded Camburgs.

 

Finally got around to building a set of sliders. I used 2x2” square tube 1/8” thick and mounted them to the Mobtown off-road diy bolt on slider kit. I drew up a simple idea on Fusion 360 and pulled some of the detentions off to make it easier when it came to cutting. I did all the cutting with angle grinder . These things turned out sick! I’m really happy with them. I coated them with rustolum bedliner (same as my bumper)

 

Nice job!!
