It's always a good idea to run heat cycles on the gears before going WOT otherwise it could whine really bad.

Did you put a locker in while you were in there?

After 200 miles, I started messing around lol. But no I didnt get a locker. I didnt want to spend an arm and a leg right now. A locker is definitely in the future plans tho.

you would be surprised how many people do that lol.....get gears installed in a jeep then come back one at a time to get lockers installed instead of doing it all at once.

Camburg makes a NICE long travel kit, and there are a handful of nice prerunner style bumpers that would really clean the truck up

There's a local truck that has an Awesome bumper that would look great on that. Has the fogs and tow hooks built into it.
Looks great
If i ever see it parked I'ma get a pic of it.

I'm not too hot on half the stuff you did but all in all looks good. I would think about swapping that engine out thou...4.8L on that big of a truck is never gonna be fun.
