Me old BOV. Have some accessories going on, so here are the before photos. Looking to get a brush guard or bull bar on, plus I have some KC Daylighter off road lights to mount on the bar when I get it. Roof rack is coming up, as well as a roll bar to tie my gas cans off to, and maybe bungee myself in in a SHTF situ with a few beta mags ready to rock.
 Off road -W- New BF Goodrich A/T tires, Quad cab 4x4, 10500lb tow package  Rear pass through, Line-X, Evil money grubbing shoot everything that moves mercenary type inside.  5.7L 395hp/395ft,lb torque on 87 octane fuel. Will update as improvements happen. Che Sucks!

If that's going to be your roadblock runner, you may want to invest in a nice pushbar to protect that radiator. Skidplates, if you don't aleady have them will be quite useful also. Next on my list would be a little more lift and larger tires.

I did mention the brush guard or bull bar, and I have front, middle and rear skid plates on already. The guys at the Quick lube complain every time I come in about having to remove the skid plates. As for lift, I plan on a leveler, 3" lift in front, and 1"lift in back, but that is all of the lift I am doing. I am worried more about fortification and armor for now.

Nice truck. Are you going to add a topper ? Good for keeping cargo dry/unstolen. And a place to sleep.

I like the way your topper is disguised as a small shed and a shrubbery ! Do NOT follow this link or you will be banned from the site!. |

Good one, maybe I can get one that looks like an outhouse. Nobody will approach then, no telling what you'll find in an outhouse post SHTF!

Sorry, didn't know what a bull bar was. We call em push bars round here. That's the exact lift I would put on it if it were mine also. Already got the 3" lift kit for the Jeep. Too damn chilly out there to do it now............
