Looks killer, one upgrade that I have and was realy impressed was the gcm rear truss. It helps the rear angle move more freely and by using it and the top hole ot made everything more level. Gcm has a you tube vid that explains it more better. I just thought since u made such a badd ass rig that a 30 $ might be up ur alley. But I am sire ot will never be completly done lol.

Yeah, you're right. At this point what's another $30? I was wondering how much it would help or if it would. I'll probably give it a shot after I get back from a long much needed vacation. The quality of the GCM products is out of this world.

Default "Overtime"

Just make sure that when you install the truss you move the top links to the lowest hole of the 2 in the chassis. They mention that to help the rig


"The solid machined billet aluminum part comes with a new top bolt to attach your top links. We recommend you use the lower mount holes at the FWD side of the top links, and then add the GCM Twin Truss for the top shelf performance you'd be expecting. "

Took it out today to try out the new shocks. They worked awesome and no carnage to report. All in all a great day.

Aren't the rc4wd shocks and the kings you replaced the same thing in different colors?

Legitimate question... New to this.

Would you mind posting another under the hood pic? I'm ordering the st Irie steering and the gcm upright shock kit tomorrow and wanted to get an idea of how you mounted your winch. Looks great btw!

Hope this helps a bit. I had to cut quite a bit off the front of the GCM plate. I hated to do it but, that was the only way. If you need more let me know.

Well, gave her a new look. I guess I just wanted her to match the new yeti a little bit.Name:  uploadfromtaptalk1409546100071.jpg

I've had it since Friday and haven't even put a battery in it yet. Trying to decide if I want to run the stock electronics or pull them in favor of a sensored setup. I'm also waiting on my Vanquish hubs and hexes.
