May 1, 2021: Coming off my old 4th gen I recently sold, starting off my build thread on this "new to me" 2016 Trail I just picked up last Friday.

4th gen Build:

June 25, 2021: Installed King extended travel 2.5" coilovers up front with matching 2.5" rear shocks. Dobinsons 2" rear spring (C59-327) and Total Chaos Fab upper arms







June 27, 2021: Kept my old wheels and tires off my 4th gen (SCS SR8's with 315/70r17s). How it sits with the lift currently. Lots more cutting to do...
