First step was to put camo back on. I had the camp on hand so it was the first to go.

Next, I have a career in the ethanol industry so I got a good deal with a really good incentive to to buy and install a FUEL FLEX INT. e85 conversion kit. So I switched over to e85 at 245 a gallon while 87 octane is 345 a gallon. I lost about 2-3 miles per gallon but I also installed a level and its been between 5 and -40 degrees the last few months here in mn. I also did a quick tune up cleaned my MAF changed oil air filter fuel filter oil filter

Next I installed a 32 inch led light bar in the space under my bumper. If you decide to do this go with the 30 inch bar the 32 was just too long that I had to remove the plastic trim on the inside and drill some holes In spots that was a huge pita. I also ordered 6k hids. As you can tell they are not6ks.

Then around the same time I installed a 2.5 inch rough country front and rear level kit with shocks and got my front two windows tinted to match the factory back tint and dropped my running boards which were mismatched

Finally I go rid of those horrible ugly factory rims and tires and replaced them with vision 375 warrior 20 inch rims and 31 inch nitro Terra grapplers I got brand new from discounttiredirect.com for just shy of 1800. Then be for I could even get them on someone hit and ran my passenger side so now I'm busy fixing that.
