my record is the lenth of a toilet paper roll. lol. the 55 MPH sucks here. Everybody does 70 but for some reason im the singled out dude.

Every sheriff in town knows my name. Do you have a point system out there? Once you reach 6 points here your license is suspended for a year. I've been at a consistent 5 points. One will drop off, then I'll get another, etc etc.

Holy Shackles!! (in that last pic). Looks good though. Did you go Cognito ??

Yep. Shackles are a temp thing right now. $40 > $800 so they will stay while I save up for springs. Not sure where you see anything Cognito though? It's an FTS kit.

Yea i couldnt see anything FTS, except for the red thats why i was wondering. I figured you would have the big fts subframe cut out logo.

The front design screams old FTS.... the side drops are clearly marked with big fat FTS design. That will be getting changed out as well.

Yea i didnt look at the pics too close to begin with, nor am i that familiar w/ the older FTS design. But when i look for the FTS logo now i can see clear as day. How much does your bumper weigh with the winch? that thing has gotta be like a tank on the front end

Definitely close to 200+ pounds. It's a ******* bullet proof front end. If I take it off I can gain close to 2" up front

It also has 1.5" wheel spacers up front now as well. These keep me from rubbing on the shocks until I have time to remake the brackets for them. They were free so I'm not complaining. Also put new rotors/pads and rebuilt the calipers today.
