    Replaced outer tie rods, sway bar linkages, and lower strut bolts. Eight years of NE salt is rusting my bolts and it's easier to just replace than trying to clean/fix. Slowly trying to replace any bolt that may be problematic in the future, and my frame is going to need some future-proofing.

    Overthought Spare Tire

    Hmm, good thought. No ideas though, my 270/75/r17 was completely stuffed underneath. It was literally touching my mbrp exhaust. I just took a Sawzall to it to solve that problem. Custom-made axle dump lol. If I get a new exhaust I might try that though

    Overthought Spare Tire

    I'm liking this idea. I might need to borrow this while I wait on my swingout. Another problem with an oversize spare under the bed is that if you're not paying attention, you can slightly melt your spare if it's rubbing up against the exhaust. Ask me how I know 🥲
