Well Kids I'm back from Idaho, some of you have seen the new rear end some of you haven't so here it is for you all to enjoy :)

CBI Offroad was awesome too, they didn't charge me to put the bumper on, basically took them 3/4's of a day to do the minor changes and all that jazz, and they added frame reinforcements Top Notch!!! I highly recommend them.

The armour coating that I had them put on was relatively inexpensive 300$ to do the whole thing and they said it'll stay perma shiny and tough as nails for years

Better hope the extra weight of a spare tire and fuel is'nt enough to flip you on a steep uphill ascent as you should put all heavy things like that as close to centre of your vehicle as possible unless you have an suv which is made to run most of the weight right at the rear of the vehicle....other then that it looks pretty cool
YOU MIGHT WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR LEAF SPRINGS TOO CUS THE WEIGHT BEING THAT FAR BACK IS GOING TO PUT EXTRA STRESS ON YOUR SPRINGS

Quit being such a grump Chris. ;) Granted, he is putting a lot of weight at the back changing his COG, some simple driving adjustments in only the most extreme of situations should be needed. The springs thing is true also in the front for all us guys running winch bumpers and winches on our coil springs. Check 'em good and check 'em often.

PS - The frame reinforcements were a good call.

Well I just got word that I got the house I was hoping to rent it's got a double wide heated garage so I'll take care of the suspension issues, if any, with a new lift....woohoo for winter project in warmth with a beer.

So for those who want to come winter wheeling in fort mac, you have a place to stay and we can even un-thaw your Toyota in the new garage.

Maybe I would have different feelings about the Mac if I was 'just visiting'. ;)
