First 4x4 build Started out with the base Fm1 wanted a foot shift and no power steering like it simple. Purchased front bull bar and back cargo carrier that day.
Ordered 35% primary gear reduction yesterday and 28x9.5 outlaw 2s on 14 HD3s having the gear reduction put in on the 11th by my dealer and having the first service done still have to ride 70 more miles by then praying for nice weather lol. Msged Moose about rear bumper its in fab shop atm. Msged Extreme snorkel on the eta of there kit. Also waiting to hear back from Eaton on the Detroit gear-less locker they say there current one will not fit the 14s.

actually in person it looks about right but the spacers are going to cause the same amount of premature wear as the huge tires to I dnt think the extra 1in in the front it going to affect it

Learned a few things this winter were my winch attached to the frame (via the front bush guard that attaches to the top rack then top rack to frame) the tabs are about as this as roof tin I snapped them off the frame on a hard pull. Also have broke 2 more axles and tweaked the frame at my best guess when my wife rides with me the right side rubes the tire but the left has 5in of clearance.

Not really on topic here, but I'm confused. I thought without power steering there was no display to record mileage and such?
