well I'm not really sure where to post this, but I figured I'd post it here for a progress type thread.

heres some pics!









I need 1 more coat of the bedliner on the bottom 1/2 of the truck, and I'm starting research on lifting it a couple more inchs, some rock crawler rims, and 33's

How about the push bar up front? Mind telling me where you found that? I like those better than the regular bull bars.

that swing out tire carrier is similar to the ones they used to put on the chevy blazers,in the 80's,, i am sure you could remake it to work for you if you looked for 1 like that , ,

Agreed. I can respect not wanting the hassle of manufacturing a ton of these, but detailed pics to let us see how to make our own would be very appreciated.

BTW, I'd like to see some interior as well.

anyone know where I can get a suspension lift? I see everyone with Body lifts but I'd rather have a suspension lift (w/o any fab work if possible)
