Looks good. I have the exact same one.. but different wheels. :p
 






Thanks

The rear end sag never really became apparent to me until I took a real close look at these pictures. (It is usually backed in the driveway in the background of the picture on a decline.) I guess I need shackles too ;)

I been prowlin ebay to find me an extra one for a spare.

Last month, I bought a MAF adapter off ebay so that I can use a cone filter and get rid of the air box. I bought the K&N Filter to go with it. I installed it yesterday.

Those new tires and wheels look nice. Definately make it stand out now.
 






Looks good. Rethinking the street look now! ;)
 






Much Much better sir. So you going to badlands on the 18th and 19th?
 
























The pics arent the half of it. I've almost got the exhaust done, I modded the cats a little ;) and put 31" glass packs on, full duals. It's not yet lifted either. Hopefully I'll have the bumper done before Nov.
 






Dont forget...sound clip

I can't yet. My wife is too short to get my son up in there. :D

When he's in and out on his own, it will be time for 33's and a BL :thumbsup:
