Remi straight chilling in the garage! Taking that stay at home order very seriously! Hope to have some lugs soon. I know I could mount up the broken ones I have, but it just doesn’t feel right.

While we wait, I’d figure it’d be cool to post up a before and after shot. [emoji16]

Thank you guys! As Dale said, I have an EVO tire carrier sitting in my garage. I’m gonna try and install it this weekend as long as my lug nuts come in on schedule tomorrow!

I ran out of daylight, but here is a shot of Remi back on all fours. As you can see, the 37” spare is loaded in the back until I get the tire carrier installed this weekend. I’m liking the look without so much rake

And an artsy fancy shot, because why not.

What a busy but exciting day for Remi! I am happy to say I was able to complete all four projects officially completing Stage 1!

EVO tire carrier complete. I also got my rear license plate temporarily mounted up!

I also got all the front skids mounted. Rockhard4x4 FAD Skid, EVO Protek Oil/trans skid, and Rancho Glide Plate

As y’all can see from the pictures, I got my tailgate lined up almost perfectly to mine and my assistant’s eyes. It seems like it’s spot on. When I open the tailgate though, it makes a completely different/louder sound when it first unlatches. Is this just from the additional weight on the tailgate or did I do something incorrectly?

Hell of a day! Everything looks great. Can’t help you much on the tailgate sound, but it looks dead straight

Thank you! I think it’s the additional weight on the tailgate causing the sound when opening/unlatching. I’m gonna run it a few weeks and adjust it if needed!

Remi looks amazing great job Nate [emoji106]the only thing I am not sure about is the Rancho glide plate. To me it looks like you can catch rocks with it.

Thank you! I’m curious to see how it works out as well.
