pretty much stock, right after i brought it except for the dual exhaust....   It just didnt sit right, so i put 265/75/r16 yokohama geolander A/T's and lifted it 2" with OME.   then i recently purchased the Prorac roof basket... soon to be my spare tire carrier...   future mods... - spare tire to fill the basket - lights mounted to basket - infinity sound system - thinking about doing a 2" body lift... not sure yet. |

dirt...if you go body lift....try 1.5 inch lift. 2" might force you to extend the brake lines and such....

ya and The hitchgate at tiregate.com is pretty cool too. I'm having one custom made and will hold a highlift jack and gas can as well:) I am very happy with my prorac because it is a big basket and didnt cost very much.

only 690.00 plus shipping. Ya they bend you waaaaaay over on that one. Good thing I know a pro. welder and fabricator. He is building it similar but better mods and stuff. Im having it powder-coated black and will cost me not even half as much. I was recently in Denver Colorado with my wife and we both fell in love with the area:) We drove to Golden, CO and visited the Coors factory. Sampled some beer as well!!  |

okay hehehe i'm a guinea pig:( I will although I am camera challenged so it might be a few weeks:( Best thing to do is show a picture of the tiregate to a welder so he can get a visual and then he can go from there.

exactly. That way you can build it and paint it exactly how you want it anyways:) I think they will eventually catch on and lower the price or go broke.
