Well, a bit late to the build thread game. I picked up my 19 as a LYM left over in April 2020. I moved down a couple of weight classes from a 17 F350 DRW PS.
Here she is new and a clean slate. I went back and looked through the photo album and looks like I didn’t take any pictures of the changes as I went over the last 3 years. I’ll get some pictures after I knock off the pollen today.

Can’t really remember what the first mod was, most likely moving from the factory Wranglers to D-Cepek Fun Country II 275/65 R20 load range E. I have had good luck with these tires on my old Jeep and on my old F-350 SRW. That and they seem to be cheaper, good road manners in the dry and wet.
After that I installed a Draw-tite under bed goose neck hitch, flip over ball. I did get a second ball with a 5” offset to move a 5th wheel travel trailer with a goose neck adapter. It wasn’t enough for turns and didn’t like it. The gooseneck install was pretty easy.

Then came the RAS suspension. I have it set for heavy loads (go figure) it has really tightened up the rear suspension. Also raised the rear end 1.5” measured at the peak of the wheel well. Again install was easy.

Bed rug, stuff doesn’t slip, plenty of padding for the knees and has protected the bed.

Softopper bed cap. Still pretty new to me. Got it for transporting the dogs to and from Los Ranchito. They are just too nasty on the trip home to ride up front. I have a screen rear window for when they roll with me.

For tomorrows fun, I have a couple of boxes that were dropped off this morning.

Going to spend some time watching the video install this evening and again tomorrow morning before getting started again. So I think they said the intercooler should take an hour to install and the piping 4 hours to install.

Oh and I forgot about the exhaust, put it on last week.
Pretty easy, even got the stock exhaust out with out having to cut.
I like the sound but still can’t hear the turbo whistle. Maybe it’s that my hearing is shot, to many years in engine rooms and industrial plants.

Looks great, that was the color I was originally after, but the deal on the Magma Was too good to pass,

Do the RAS Suspension components help with rear tire spin, traction under hard acceleration?

 

[NoTraxx]

I can still break the tires loose, but I do not get the body roll and I feel more planted. Towing is better for me as well. The ride is a bit stiffer, then on the other hand it is adjustable. I have it set pretty heavy.
RAS claims to reduce axle wrap. I wouldn’t know because I have not pushed it that hard.

Got the Mishimoto intercooler and pipes done today.

 

[NoTraxx]

Going to get a few miles and then retorque and look for rub spots on the pipes to see if they need some adjustments. Tomorrow or the next day.

Uncovered the intercooler intake.

Please excuse the pollen, washed the poor gurl 2 days ago and anytime it rains or any kind of wind we get that.

How law-abiding of you to mount it on the side.

I'm taking my chances with the local authorities.
No issues in a year or so, in an area with heavy police activity.
It's the 1 rebellious thing I do.
Makes me feel alive, man.

Knock on wood

Phone mount is a combo of RokForm (phone mount), Ram mount (arm and ball) and BuiltRight Ind (dash mount base)

Soooooo, after much gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands I pulled the trigger on a Calibrated Power set up yesterday. Now for the wait.
Oh yeah and since I snapped the mounting pin on the passenger side turbo inlet tube, there is a Mishi turbo inlet set on order as well.

 

[NoTraxx]

Got a box this afternoon. So tomorrow I will be installing some turbo inlet pipes.
