Been a while since ive updated. I just bought a polaris sportsman a few weeks ago so thats where most of my money is going now Havent done much to the truck lately and dont really plan on it. Gonna need tires soon and plan on getting some 35 treadwrights when I do but thats about it



I recently rebuilt my suspension again, all new ball joints and everything(warrantied) Threw some bilstein shocks up front and ranchos in the rear. Also decided to put the sway bar back on after about a year of having it off. She rides so great now..


And I made another pvc intake the other day because I was tired of that ****** metal ebay one.. This ones much better. Also modified that heat shield to use with this one. Probably gonna paint it that green color or black soon

How's the paint holding up?

I actually completely repainted it back in may. This stuff is tough but it still gets scratched fairly easily and considering its black it shows it. However I didnt treat it nice, the scratches came from driving through tiny trails with big ass tree limbs scratching it but surprisingly none of them went completely through the paint down to the old stuff. I only had one really small problem where the paint chipped on the underside of the drivers rear fender, probably from not prepping it good.

I still dont regret doing it, however I would only use this stuff again on something that needed a paint job and cheap, like what I did haha. Painting a truck is one big pain in the ass. Especially when its your dd and you just want it finished. I tended to rush some stuff..

I also picked up some 2500 tow hooks for pretty cheap the other day that I still need to mount. I dont have the support brackets for them though..
