Quick update: truck blew it's transmission at just under 75k. Had my local mechanic rebuild it for me. I emptied the bed to help out with a relay for life the same weekend that it lost its transmission so that kinda sucked, ended up renting a f150 for it. Anyways here's a quick pic of it with nothing in the bed. Looks so much simplier and clean.

And now I am replacing my front hubs, I ordered timken hubs from rock auto so once they come in i will put them on. And at the same time I'm putting on new brakes, again. The Baer rotors warped and grooved really badly and the hawk pads were awful. Tons of brake dust and super loud. I got prostop platinum rotors which look really nice and have a higher carbon make up to help with noise and heat. Then just some Bosch ceramic pads that I've never tried before so I figured why not.

dang I haven't been on here for a long time. I was super surprised that I got the email that someone but posted on my thread this morning. I guess I will update it with a couple things I've done recently. I didn't drive the truck for close to 6 months, traded my girlfriend cars because I am going back to school and have a 90 mile commute everyday so her mustang is a lot better choice in terms of fuel efficiency. Not much has changed with the truck because of that and I still don't drive it much so not much else will happen with it. Just need to replace the mirrors because the left one shattered when it came in contact with a tree off road.
Anyways I picked up a smittybilt defender roof rack used for cheap. Decided to mount it using the yakima bars so here is a pic with just the cross bars.
Then the rack was mounted with the hi lift and jack and shovel mount.
Then came lights, just 7" red ring hids for distance. Old school proven lights, nothing fancy.
Then came the light cage, not sure if I am a fan or not.
And I also have all the parts for my gear change to 456 G2 gears with a detroit trutrac. I decided to be different with my diff cover and got this.
I post frequently on instagram so if you want more updates and a lot more pics follow me at: d.hoemberg
