Yea I have first dibs on half of his truck . I'm sure you probably have hand me downs from me also. Brian and I give, trade and sell each other something like every week. I think those Thornbirds you have came from his red D1 right? I found that truck, and bought it with Ed and split the ARB and winch.. Then Brian ended up with it. It's fully because if you trace any used LR part it probably has like 5 owners on it lol. I had the idea of getting an engraver and putting names and dates on hand me downs...

Thanks man. I appreciate it. Unfortunately they're still on there I reckon they aren't too bad. The thing that frustrates me most is most definitely my non-matching spare. It's a pet peave of mine, I hate not having a matching spare. I want NATO wheels, on 235 tires so I can get decent articulation

Tires have nothing to do with articulation. Maybe you mean ground clearance?

Thats what I thought although I wasnt sure. 75% of the stuff on my truck is hand me downs. Saved me a small fortune

HAHA, too funny, well as long as you guys keep upgrading your crap, im happy to stay two steps behind. I have the TSL's on now and we'll be doing some trimming the day before rausch so that i can max my articulation without rubbing, i think a camel cut is in order and im gonna put d2 fender flares on it so brian's gonna help me torch my fenders open. Jake, you let me know when you start getting tired of your/brians stuff and we'll engrave it and slap it on my truck.. haha

Awesome I loved those tires in the mud. I didnt have to trim much to fit them just in the rear.

I had to flex mine out to check for rubbing, check to see how the X-Ball a frame ball joint does and make sure my brake lines were long enough.. That wheel is still plenty on the ground and the front shock had like 3-4 inches before bottoming out.
