Re: new from BC
I will give my welcome as well.... great to have you on board!!!
As for your ride... there's lots that can be done depending on how much you want to spend.
A few things that I reccomend right off the bat is upgrade the ball joints to Moog, MOST IMPORTANT is to upgrade the tie rods and pittman arms. I went with Cognito but I have seen others out there that are cheaper and look even stronger. These two are the most important if you liek to have a bit of fun off road as stock does not cut it. We've had our fair share of broken rods which is why I upgraded mine before I had an issue...
What I have done so far to my 08 are the ball joints, pitman/idler arms, tie rod ends, and I will hopefully be upgrading my front diff. from the present open differential to a Detroit Trutrack limited slip diff. Also plan on bypassing the low gear restriction on the rear locker just so I have a bit more flexibility. I usually try to be in low gear anyways when offroading, but when that occasional water hole or mud pit happens by.... I'd love to be able to lock the rear in 4-High so I can sail through...
I have also done a basic 2.5" lift which has made a huge difference offroading and really improved the appraoch and breakover angles. This just involed a 2" spacer in the rear and T-Max 2.5 inch torsion bar lift in the front.
So really.... depends on what you want to do.... I have a lot more I would liek to do... but the cost is way up there as I'd love a new IronBull front bumper with winch.... maybe in 2012....
I love your color by the way!!
