To optimize performance and cooling, its fitted with a truck-specific sheet metal intake, a 98mm throttle body, Summit cast-iron headers, and a Magnaflow exhaust system with an extra resonator, providing a deep, throaty growl as it runs out the drivers side behind the rear tire.

It rides on Terrafirma 3 lifted suspensionand features an adjustable track bar and Bilstein steering damper to provide a smooth, controlled ride. For added off-road toughness, it sits on Mayhem Voyager 8303 17 bronze rims wrapped in Nitto Ridge Grappler 275/70/17 tires, ensuring it can handle rough terrain without breaking a sweat. The 9k front winch, coupled with heavy-duty Terrafirma bumpers, will ensure youre prepared for any recovery situation, while the Baja roof rack and LED spotlights (4 front, 2 rear) make sure you're equipped for nighttime adventures. A hi-lift jack and sand tracks are also mounted on the roof rack for when the going gets tough.
