Yep they are Boogie Bumps, as soon as I heard about them from a little birdie I put in my order.

So about the only things I have left off are my new brakes, EBC slotted rotors, EBC green pads, stainless steel brake lines, Lucas synthetic brake fluid. Made a HUGE difference in stopping for sure but a major difference in control. I still have quite a few projects left to do. maybe rear bumper, Carli rear shock mounts, larger track bar frame bolt and bushing, weld in the C's on the axle, lower shock nuts, auxillary tranny cooler, maybe hydro assist, maybe rear winch, cut bracket and weld higher for AirDog, SKID PLATE for fuel tank, Mule Outfitters rock rails.... and the list keeps growing lol.... OH and my Seahawk emblem door lights.....

Never heard of Mule Outfitters rock rails, tried doing a google search and only came up with stuff for VW. Do you have a link? I have the White Knuckle Sliders and am very happy with them, but always like seeing other options

 
Great build and nice setup.

Only thing I can suggest is not going with EBC Green Stuff pads. I ran them on my Miata and they worked great for general driving but when I would get aggressive in the mountains, they would heat up and fade. They don't like heat. They also dust big time. Big, heavy rig, I would never use them.

After reading some reviews, my Dodge I went with Hawk SD (Severe Duty) pads and have been very happy. Has definitely made the woefully crappy stock Dodge brakes work fairly well. Definitely stops way better than before and I haven't had any issues with heat fade.

I called EBC before I did my pads, and the techs over there recommended the yellow stuff pads. Been running them for a while now and very happy with them, they are very dirty though
 
I have the 7000 series greenstuff pads in the front, 6000 series in the rear, way better than Prostops I had before, those had HORRIBLE brake fade. It also makes a big difference with EBC slotted rotors.
 
Ya gotta love it when you install a water pump and thermostat and 4 months later the water pump takes a hike. Good thing it didn't do it on one of our back country trips... Time to go get a Cummins replacement, but I'll still see if Napa will warranty the pump, keep it as a back up, cause stuff happens.

wow, only 4 months?? I'd be doing some complaining.
 
Oh don't worry... first stop Motor Trucks or the stealership for an OEM pump, then Napa to talk to someone who hopefully cares.
 
Well that was a bust, Motor Trucks was closed, the dealership wants $300 for a water pump, and napa won't warranty the pump because it doesn't look like a brand they sell and I didn't have the reciept. I told the kid I only buy my parts there, and why would I keep a reciept for a water pump that is supposed to last?? Very frustrating.... Oh and I bought the pump 11/13... so not even close to 4 months... nice.... Hopefully they'll honor it with a picture of the transaction on my phone.
 
All fixed, Napa ended up warrantying the pump. The one I had was a line they no longer carry due to too many failures, the one I got was clearly much better quality. So new hoses, pump, and thermostat... Now to figure out what this injector short business is all about.
