Thanks! This is the progress I've made in 1 year of modding. I drove it stock from 2012-2013 then started modding it one year ago exactly. Obviously much more than you can see but...

I'm set with a front bumper, why are you getting rid of yours?

The rear axle was rotated back to correct piņon angle, now my coils run the trackbar so this weekend I'm having the coil perches cut off, rotated and welded back on. I will also remove the rear bumper to prevent rub. I still need to trim flares.

Awesome man, glad to see your build coming along. I'm doing 37s when these tires wear out, so ill be hitting you up. What tires did you go with, coopers again?

Any specific reasoning for that choice?

Well they are narrow enough that with 4" BS I don't rub frame. Maxxis has a great reputation and thick sidewalls, I love the directional look, great performance and amazing price.
