yea im keeping the visors. it helps keeps water mud and snow from flying in. i keep my head down low for two reason. 1 from hitting the visor because it hurts like no tomorrow. i need to line it with rubber. 2nd i usually use the driver wheel to go over big rocks and tilting over so much makes it hard for me to hang out the door so i use my arm to hold me there and my head low to see under the mirror onto the rock. not a fan of tube doors on my runner because some of these trails are dusty and i try to keep the dust low on the inside. i clean and wipe the interior down after each trip.

i still love bald because i know it like its the back of my hand and the SNOW. Red Lake is awesome because there is more challenges, they just keep coming. the lake at the end is the best. just need a good spotter and a rear locker. my buddy did it without a locker but you just need to hammer down sometimes lol. not my type of crawling lol. the tire does stick out 3 inches each side and i cant run a higher bs because the upper arm will chew my tire up since im running 11.5 inch rubbers on 8 inch rim.
Marlin, TG, Internet for my TOYOTA parts from now on
4WP for Jeep Parts.
only reason i went with 4WP parts was the discount code but summit racing has them in stock and im getting them within a week of ordering.

Im a member of NOLB, if you havent. like us on FB and check on upcoming events. we post them a month in advance most of the time. awesome group of guys and ranges from stock to built. we all help each other get thru the trail and theres no rush.

"STIFFLE", should have been "STIFLE", as in, "obstruct an objective, limit what you hoped to achieve"....... pronounced, "STY-FUL" lol. Sorry man.... IT LOOKS GREAT! And I just meant, "Don't want to stifle the stuff capabilities with ANYTHING, right? haha

i cee!! well im running the stock t bars so it makes it easy for it to flex. the current shocks and bump stop wasnt even bottomed out yet. the new shocks will allow for more droop
not sure if the new shock will bottom out before the low profile bump stops

had this awesome cargo net and needed a place to install it. great place for me to throw snacks and what not into it. its just attached to the rear of the cargo basket and the rear head rest. keeps my dog from jumping into the back as well


finally decide to just mount my cb radio. i used 3m dual lock to install it. no drilling, it just taped on and can be removed. its kinda like velcro but better. it survived bumping roads from my last trip



also got the correct shocks installed. man these are so much more sexier than the OME. the rear will still be OME for now
