Oof. That's some serious Bristol Bay vibes for sure.
We drain the oil after fishing season. Why? B/c it'll freeze in the block and crack it if you don't.
Where ya located? I've got a bunch of leftover axle bits and pieces from junkyard pulls over the years. Still have my original control arms from when I went to adjustable I think.
Send me what info ya need in a PM. I live close by and am picking my set up in person instead of paying for shipping. I don't mind asking while I'm there.
All my body tools are in Snellville...... and I'm in New Orleans.
If I make a trip up that way for a weekend I'll take the MJ and straighten it out myself. 😁
There's other reasons for a new bed as well, this one is rhino lined which I'm not super thrilled about.
Pulled the rear flare off from the accident.... damage to the metal under was worse than I expected.
Not sure if I'm gonna try and straighten it or look for another bed.

I'm running 31s on my jeep currently, I'll have to check the width of the rim this afternoon.
I also have a 3" lift kit and some rims like you posted (the 5 for $100) with tires I'm trying to get rid of for cheap.
I'd likely be interested as well. Trying not to hack up too much of my truck, although remaking a harness isn't the hardest thing either.... just time consuming.
Got side swiped a couple of weeks back and need to replace my flares. Had a line on a set of used bushwackers but the seller backed out.
Will consider factory, aftermarket, steel, etc. as long as we can figure out a way to get it to New Orleans, La.
Do these just give you additional tie down points inside the bed?
My pic is my prepping to trim my fender after my truck got hit (damage was down low, was gonna trim anyway).
Found a set of new Dorman chrome side mirrors locally. They have the remote adjust which is why I like these more than the aftermarket ones on Amazon. They're about $60 each..... has anyone used these?
Thoughts on quality?
What did you do for steering? I like RRO's rear lift kit but want metalcloak dual rates up front.
As for steering, it seems everyone has an opinion on what works and what doesn't. RRO's steering kit checks a lot of boxes for geometry but the bolt together ends to the existing steering knuckles is a failure point I don't want to deal with.
Get a gallon. Do at least 2 coats.
I used just over a half gallon but was a bit light on the first coat and have a couple spots I'd like to hit again.
Also, pull your railing off the bottom. It's super easy to do (sheet metal screws) and then you can reinstall with new foam and a new vinyl insert over the screws. Saves a bunch of time on taping.
