Amen, xl, Amen.

Got the lift on today. Pain in my ass! Got everything going but the front bumper. The holes were too small for the bumper bolts, so I need to drill them out and it got dark. I didn't need to get any parts, everything I needed was in the kit except for tools. Ya know, welder, grinder, stuff like that. :wink:

I'm taking my 235/75r15's in to work tomorrow to put my new-to-me 31's BFG All-Terrains' on. Right now it's in my bosses yard sitting on his spare tires. Which happen to be 35X14.50R15 MT Baja T/A's on 10" deep wheels. Looks sharp, but you can't actually move the truck cause the truck just kinda squats right down on the tires. :?

I was taking some neato pictures with the bed off and the grinding and welding involved and placing the spacer blocks with all the dampners and everything, but I kinda dropped it right near the end and broke it. . .. . . .. :evil:

I'll take some pictures tomorrow after the new tires and a wash and let ya'll know what it looks like. Thanks for the support.

Yeah, that's what I said. The disappointing part is that I just put those on so I could take MY wheels to mount my 31's. Those are my bosses K-5 blaze wheels. When we let the jack down there was about a quarter of an inch of clearance between the tires and body, and you couldn't turn the wheel one half turn without rub. I'm trying to talk him out of the 10" rims though.

This is what it really looks like:

Took me just under a day and a half to do, with three guys who know their shit working hard on it.

The roll bar, I traded my brother-in-law for his '86 Isuzu P'up for my x-box. So I snatched that off with some other stuff, I'm currently in the research stage of swapping his 5 spd into my truck too.
