I painted my steel wheels with the Hammered paint a few years ago and its been holding up great. I'm a fan as well.
Nice job with your trailer btw, been following for a little while now.
For what it's worth, I believe the OME lift is advertised as being 1.5"-2" of lift. I swear when I bought my front medium duty springs in 2014 they were advertised as 1.75" lift. Regardless, even at 2" of lift you shouldn't be experiencing coil bucket contact. I have mine on Bilstein 5100's on...
Great pics! My girlfriend and I have spent a little time around North Cascades NP and Olympic NP and we absolutely fell in love with Washington... We also fell in love with the western side of Montana for that matter :D We really want to move out west in a few years when she finishes up school...
We've done a few of the big ones during peak season and I always compare it to an amusement park... almost sickening. We did the Alpine loop, stayed in Silverton, and Rocky Mountain NP last year. Colorado is our 3rd favorite state so far. We can't decide between Washington and Montana for number 1.
My girlfriend and I have stopped there the last 2 summers in a row... we absolutely love it! Last year we were there mid June and the GTTSR was still closed so we had to go back to see it this year. We camped at Bowman Lake off of North Fork road and it was stunning. We even went for a dip in...
Nice rig you have there... Seen it parked at Lake McDonald inside Glacier NP over the summer. Passed you the next day on Going to the Sun Road in my green Xterra.

Very cool sx4! I like it. Is that a Rola roof basket? Had one on my Jeep years ago. Almost wish I would've got your size grabbers and no lift... been dealing with RRO for almost a month trying to get replacement parts for my lift.
