Almost no progress, probably won’t have any until next week, but did start on the front bumper.

The truck is looking good. 
I also noticed some drag tires and a berkeley jet drive laying around in the background among other things. I like your style of parts.

You have a really good eye. Bought a burnt jet boat on copart for $200 for the Berkley drive. No idea what we’re gonna do with it.
IIRC, they are 41.5"
am i going to need some sort of sway bar?
With how much this thing will weigh in the end, I would bet you will need sway bars. But those are easy to add after the fact. Get it done and running, drive it around a bit, and if you have body roll, then install the sway bars

After taking my truck out for the first time on coilovers and first time driving a rig with coilovers I am considering adding atleast one sway bar. It feels stable but feels like it leans more than it did on leafs at speeds
Done and running? What’s that mean?
Well, at least here, on a GM site, it'll mean you'll have pictures of you and the lady exploring trails in something "cough -Escalade - cough" other than a jeep...
I'll get you some medicine
I'm kind of worried about how low I mounted the hydro steering truss, if I would've ordered the full artec setup all together it would only go in the 1 spot, but it's probably going to hit rocks a little more now. Live and learn I guess.
Unrelated to that here's a more finished picture of the bumper I forgot to post. I was going to do a stinger but now I'm unsure. It'll still have the tubing from the outside connecting to the middle like in previous pictures, but I took it off to make a copy for the other side.

For what it's worth I just got done chopping my stinger off. It was fine for awhile but after snow wheeling last weekend I was amazed how many tight turns were easier on the trails with it not sticking out there.
You guys should see the 87 all original blazer I picked up for a friend yesterday out in Colorado. Rust free. Runs and drives great. Super nice.
This is a good point. I’m already a little long...
Did you go see Wade?
You are really terrible about pictures. You don't think we want to maybe see this cream puff you picked up for a friend?
