I make time to wheel in the winter and early spring. Most wheel in the summer and fall. 10 degrees and snow can be a lot of fun! I should be headed to rush offroad in 2 weeks.

Winter wheeling isn't bad, it's winter camping that sucks. I'm headed to harlan feb 17. Staying on the putney side in an rv spot. I'd go to rush if i had a place to plug my camper in.

Installing high clearance radius arms. Rear bumper will need to be clearance for this to work with full suspension travel.

Cage is .120 wall in critical areas and .090 in remaining areas. Gussets double as grab handles and anchor points. Tied into bumpers as well as the front and rear frame. This will improve the factory cage structure and integrity by more than double.

One big dilemma is weather or not to build the front diff before it blows. It will be easier to get to with the winch out. This entails a stronger billet bearing cage from 7075 grade aluminum, roll pin upgraded from .093 to .125 hardened dowel, hardened toner ring and spring tuned. Not sure yet.

Build the diff now. With that much power and bigger tires, it will die. Plus, I've seen the way you drive.
