Midnight LJR Build

Under armor and engine skid are in! Would be nice to have some instructions for all those bolts.

Also received the reinforcements for the front bumper. Not sure about them they don’t seem to fit well at all. I will investigate further this weekend.

Got shipping notification on the diff covers and the front axle shafts have been delivered.

Still waiting on the second half of the lift kit, track bars bump stops etc... talked to Savvy it is being dropped shipped from Currie but was on back order.

Other Outstanding items still on the list to be shipped.
-Sliders
-Corner armor
-Rear bumper - I ordered this well over a month ago from nextventure and was told 2-3 weeks max. It was the first thing I ordered Just spoke to him and was told 3 weeks more minimum so no clue when that’s coming in...

Lots of people seem to talk about Savvy having bad shipping online and I was worried. But they have been great for me so far.

When it comes time to install the skid feel free to reach out. The install is still fairly fresh in my mind.

Does it pull double duty as a daily? I swear mine sits apart more often than together. Case and point my front axle is currently dissembled waiting for new wheel bearings.

Didn’t get much painting done this weekend. Wife wanted the hot water/shower system hooked up in the trailer for some upcoming camping.

Almost finished in these photos just have to strap down the tanks.

@Midnight LJR do you have more pics of your trailer setup? I didn't see it earlier in this thread, sorry if I missed it just point me in the right direction.

Here ya go. I think they are already in this thread somewhere but it’s getting long. It will be nice when it soon turns into a build thread instead of a shopping list. ;/)

Long day.

Got a lot of things almost done. Not too many big problems. Just lots of stubborn bolts, which is to be expected. The 5/8 hole we had to drill for the new trac bar was rough. Other than that slow progress is being made. I suppose this is the down side of doing all this at once is the task feels much larger than when doing individual modifications.

More work to do tomorrow. :)
