Wow its such a good feeling to be through this, just thought I'd share a poser photo with you guys.

Before:


After:


Its a 4" BDS kit in the front (Thanks Phil from Prince George BC if you are on here), Alcans in the back. The bumper is from Kennesaw Mountain Accessories (http://www.kenmtn.com), and Roger Brown (http://www.4crawler.com) solved my shackle issues. This is my first vehicle "project", and quite a learning experience with nothing but hand tools in my tiny little garage.

Still need to get a winch, solve some rubbing up front, and get it stuck (but we've only got 2WD amounts of snow so far).

I've been a lurker on this board for years and its been an awesome resource so thanks everyone.
