    Making this thread to keep up with my build progress.

    Started out in October of 2024 with a stock 2019 Off Road with 48k miles.

    Since then I have added Dobinsons IMS 3/2 lift with their Billet UCAs, 285/70 Falken MTs, RRW Wheels, C4 Fab Low Pro Bumper, and a Warn Winch.

    I have also tinted the windows and retro fitted the newer LED headlights.
