    Curious where you found a full install kit.. or was it just a one-off thing someone was selling.
    Nice build so far

    I sourced it from Jon Bond performance. They ordered a full kit as someone only needed the head unit and I just happened to need the install kit. As of April 1st I believe Magnuson is not selling replacement/separate kits. So he buys the complete kit and parts it out as needed. I was also able to source a used blower that was freshly rebuilt by them and Never installed after the rebuild.

    Picked the truck up! Initial thoughts are it’s going to take getting used to full long travel. I snuck off a powerline dirt road and the performance difference is wild. Felt like I could push hard and it would take it. Now the fine tuning and tweaking begins.

    Build Update 6/20/22

    Was able to get Mickey’s mounted up. The wheel centerbore was a snug fit. I think due to the coating thickness but we got it there. Next up to tweak the alignment and overall tweaking. Then blower install and paint. Also need to tie down the spare etc.

    Not too much to report just planning out the bed layout for camping/Baja etc. I’ll have the spare/traction boards strapped up here once the wife comes home (need her not so cheap labor).

    Finally had a chance to mount the Wavian Jerry cans. Hoping to get the blower installed soon. Paint will be in Aug since July is a total mess of travel etc.
