Working at a shop like All Industries Performance, Chris Jones is used to dealing with modified machines that take a little more skill to operate than the average passenger car. That's why it was no surprise to his family when he dropped off his 2002 Chevy 2500 HD at Off Road Unlimited in Burbank, California, and let them go to town on it right when he got it. To this day, Chris still uses the truck for work, play, and as a daily driver. He's never had any problems with the front end, and though his 38-inch Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips are getting low on tread, they show very little signs of drivetrain and suspension fatigue that would improperly wear tire tread, meaning that his 3/4-ton IFS front end is still holding strong.
