Had a pretty bad hail storm last night. Truck don't fit in the garage but got it covered in blankets in time. Still got 2 small dings though.
Wow got pretty lucky on that. That thing would've looked like a golf ball for sure. The lights look good on there. I saw those x5 lights from rough country and they look pretty nice, glad to know they actually put out decent light

ive actually seen people cut down their wiper blades or put smaller blades on to make light bars fit ha

Rough Country, i liked them cause they seemed a little more low profile than some of the roof mounts. However i wasnt using them with the 54" RC light they recommended so i ended up taking them off.
Love your truck, been following your build.

Yeah I love how low profile those mounts are. And thanks man it's about to take a turn in a new direction. Race life is too expensive breaking stuff lol

Picked up some 20x12 Moto Metal 962's with -44 offset. If I got it right they should only stick out .5" more than my current setup. Will see how it looks, will be glad to get rid of the spacers though.

Was reading thru your mods and was wondering if the vents twist off to get them out (without having to rip the dash out)?


Sweet truck, giving me some great ideas.


Thanks...

Thanks, cant remember exactly how i got them out but it was easy. Think they just pop out with a little pressure. Might try twisting them some as well.
I know i didn't have to take the dash apart.
