It's been a busy couple of months for me and mods, but I have neglected to update anyting on here.
In February, I swapped out my Radflo 2.0s for Radflo 2.5s, and the 2.0s found a great new home. Didn't get any photos of the install, but here's a comparison of the 2.0s and 2.5s side by side (mixed together, but you can tell which ones are which):

Then in March, I purchased a new Hefty Fab rear bumper from a member on the site. This is the brand new Heft Fab design with a different swing arm and mount. This was while I was in the process of moving, so the bumper went straight into the storage unit for a few weeks until I had a chance to install it (thanks Duffman for the mod day!).

Then last week, I picked up a set of 6-spoke wheels from craigslist. These are the painted ones, not the machined ones, so they'll still be subject to scratching off road, but I think they look nicer than the 5 spoke "S" wheels. The guy pulled them off his Pathfinder a few years ago and had them sitting in his garage ever since. He gave me a great price, and they had nice goodyear forza all season road tires on them with about 30% tread life left. Then I found a little tire shop in Temecula that swapped my duratracs from my original wheels over to these ones, and took the used all season goodyear tires as payment for the work. Good stuff.

New wheels all mounted up:

I also spent last weekend doing a bunch of little stuff to prep for TMR. Moved my CB antenna to the new rear bumper. Relocated my CB from the top of my dash to inside the center console. Installed a new XM radio. Replaced a busted air line in my OBA setup. Calibrated my Staun deflators (got them for Christmas, better late than never!). And installed a new tablet mount.
I think I'm all ready!
Now maybe one day I'll update my build thread.
Oh, and I also need to do something about that UGLY spare on the back. Keeping my eyes open for a deal on a cheap used 32" or 33" with an aggressive tread that I can throw onto one of my 5 spoke wheels and mount up. That'll look much nicer.
