So, tested my painting skills. Meticulous cleaning off the grille, all but new bottom grille clip. Too cold afraid snap it. But I think I did decent color matching too my truck, primered n painted in rattle can from car quest with slight later of spray clear coat as well. New headlights, parking lamps, " fog lights" just a test set up with cheap lights till find what I want. 240k miles n still going strong!

Small update, new front end, tie rods, ball joints, thicker sway bar, bilstein shocks, new coil springs. And best of all, some new bling bliiiing....
Anyways, got them on trade 15" american racing rims. Got 6 so hey can't beat that. Gonna use some steel wool on them then coke an aluminum foil to take off a Lil rust. Debating on painting them color match but idk about that opinions?

Please don't put any faith in that thing to provide any rollover protection. It's a light bar.

Lol, that's what I thought when I seen it SinCityLocal, but I don't off road much, 2wd so I just hit mudpits, I got it cheap for an aesthetic look and to cab up a Baja truck style tire holder between rear braces as well. Traded a 18v sawzall and set of taillights so can't complain.

Long time no posing, got lot updates and pics to add once i get back in with my phone, site seems different but in a good way gotta see what's up with the new stuff.
So few small updates, had to recently replace a new lower control arm, original just wouldn't hold a ball joint anymore ugh :(Having driveshaft issues at the moment as well, i keep busting rear u joints, nothing lowered or raised, just a set of 31/10.50/15 tires on it as its always had. all other u joints are good, carrier bearings been replaced and a new rear at the same time, this is the fourth in two months. and yet again its going, could this be the yoke itself going into the hogshead thats going bad?

Well I have a brushguard for the beastie now, and a name i believe she shall be named blue thunder, for now haha. Finally got a intake box fabbed up for it after quiet a few months of not having one. ditched a fiberglass hood id been building from scratch, i fuckered it up real good. well more once i get pics to post up and i shall give updates on motor mods that are sitting in my garage awaiting springs arrival....6 months from now fricking snowed already in october WTF!!!!!
