Slight update number 4: Homeward bound, next step - accessories back on

[Augi]

Looks fantastic!

Are you running winch springs in the front or regular springs? I am doing the same winch and brushguard setup but I haven't decided to change the springs or not yet.

Hey Augi, I put on a new set of winch springs since Hummer Parts Guy had them on sale a month or two ago and put new shocks on while I was at it. The brush guard and winch don't phase the new springs; it has 19 1/2" clearance at the bottom of winch mount. Plus, it makes it sit level; I think it is a worthwhile upgrade.

[Augi]

Did it sag on the old springs?

[siberian]

Not really, they were just more spongy and the truck rode closer to the tires. To see how yours would react to the load, have one of your 250lb. buddies (or two small ones) stand on the bumper and bounce and check your clearances. He (they) will be heavier than the Luverne and winch.

What are you going to do with the Soft Top as far as color goes? Your color scheme looks really good!

i'm being completely serious, my man. the courage to step outta the box with the old pattern and the meticulous work redoing all of the light bar and bed rails in contrasting black, the extra IR lighting, it's location...the 24 bolts........it's just bada$$. i'll be honest, i had my initial doubts about that scheme....but it worked out to be really, really cool. i'd trust your vision with any rig of mine. those guys at Clark did first rate work on the prep and paint as well. i'm going to use them for the CARC on my next rig.

i agree with Freddie 100%.
I had my doubts when you first posted your colour scheme. But it has come up really well!
Congrats!

Cheers

That came out really well. It is so well done it that looks like it could be a foto of a toy.
