That goes back to self control. Obviously with baller Cho beams you want to have baller hubs, King Kongs... but there comes a point where you need to draw a line and say I'm happy with it at "this" level. You have more self control than you give yourself credit for. If you didn't your truck...

I think comfort and capable are two different things. I have been in some VERY capable A armed trucks that just are not comfortable, but nearly every beamed truck I've been in has been so plush, and that was my reason for beams. Adam has had fast trucks, and now has a mid travel truck. Clearly...

Progress is progress! Keep it up, bud! It's easy to get down on yourself, but bro, you didn't even know if you'd be able to walk again. Now you're welding, cutting, and grinding. Don't stop now. Keep the momentum!

I approve of this. Throw on those bolt in snouts, run your OEM D44 hubs, and rock n roll the rest of the season until you build your new spindles with big boy hubs/snouts

The most lawyer-ish response he could have given. Never admitting or denying anything

You can get the DIY file to give your builder a big headstart https://www.diyoffroad.com/fullsize-92-diy-i-beam-front-clip-with-1-25-rod-end-beams-607-jeh-011.html Or you guy a-la-cart order files if you don't want to ditch the frame section. Looks like your kit can pull 15", but I don't...

I just want everyone to appreciate the balance Ryan achieved in his build. Look at it barelyyyy lifting the pass rear tire over the bumps.

It would look so much better with the shell and if those wheels were on my truck

I like the solution!

I'm gonna implore you to rethink the aluminum spacers. They tend to mushroom and get stuck in the joints.

Honestly there's not much need for 4x4 unless you're doing a lot of secluded trips by yourself. My truck is evidence of that. TTB without the front driveshaft, and have only had to be pulled out once or twice (spool in the rear helps)

I wholeheartedly support beaming it. That said, I don't think it would be cheap, especially to be done at the quality/cleanliness level this truck deserves. Would be insanely cool and a far more comfortable ride, though.

I have a 52qt RTIC cooler behind my cab and I wish I didn't go this big. I never eat all the food/drink all the water, and the space could be used for other things. I think Rouse's 32qt is the right size.

How's that 2.9 goin?

No problem. I want to get out there and ride with everyone, it's just easier for me to ride right after work when there's daylight and before the baby's bedtime. Leaving at 6 makes it harder to get away.
