my 2" BL, brushguard, roof basket and 285's

[wisekise]

the kit and the required tools (and no officer that is not moonshine!)

before the BL with a TT and AAL

tow hooks

my $50 brush guard

brush guard and bumper being painted... i ran out of time to do the rest of the tupperware, but i think i'm going to start over and herc the guard, bumpers, and all the plastic

after bodylift, i had some adjustments to do to the bumper so i left the guard off. i also didnt get to the rear bumper but its on the "to-do" list

now with front bumper, and brushguard w/ lights complete, also a rola roof basket and 33" BFG TA's

how's the turning? front wheels look like they would eat up that fender flare.

great looking truck though man. ive been looking at the roof baskets for awhile. they do look sweet.

thanks
actually on the road i have no problems at all, even at full lock( i removed both sway bars previously). i just bought the tires yesterday, so i haven't had the chance to try them out off road. i might jack the front end up an compress each a-arm and test the steering, so i can cut any problem pieces out of the way before i get out in "the ****"
i got lucky and found the basket on ebay for 80 bucks, and the tires on craigslist for 350

You know that is bad@ss, right? How's the carrier? Will it hold a spare? (One thing, did you forget to hit the cowl with Krylon?)

thanks man
i mounted the basket directly to the roof rails, and where the roof is curved, the basket is resting on the smaller rails in the center. i haven't found a spare yet, but if it won't hold a spare 33, i have got bigger issues
i plan on doing all the plastics with black fusion, but the factory gray will get painted before the faded black. i probably will paint the rear bumper first when i raise it and the hitch up to match, then the tupp., then trim
i cant decide how i want to do the painting/herc. i might paint all the plastic and herc the metal, or just herc the bumpers and the tupperware. haven't figured that one out yet

tested out the new setup

got a chance to go camping again on my grandfather's farm to test out the 33's. with newfound courage i cut a path through a overgrown field to find an awesome creekbed that was bone dry(no rain for a mo.) on to the pics...

haulin ass through a pretty narrow rough patch

my best friends on the trail with me

thought it was a good shot, wish my g/f would have got the whole truck in the pic though

Now that's a display of articulation and agility! My goodness, and I'll bet that area is like right near home? The best I can do right now is a few pics through the Wal-Mart parking lot

Wow! Thanks i guess. Me or my x has ever been described as having good agility or articulation!!
And yes that is the goldmine that is my grandfather's farm.(About 20 min from my house) Developers are making their way on both sides of him and i hate it. I don't know how much longer it will still be called "the country" out there
