And they even washed it for you :D
 






Very nice Tom, congrats. How does it drive on the road? Anxious to see the rest of the pictures.

Happy trails!!
 






Very funny Rick, "Clean look", "They even washed it for you":D I guess you have another carreer.;)

Josh C. I couldn't really tell about the ride because we're waiting on the new shocks and the old ones were disconected. We're putting 4 new rancho 9000X in the rear. The old ones are too short.

We weighed the four corners of the rig and came up with some interesting numbers. The rig is almost perfectly balanced which is great.

Front Driver side- 1,297 lbs.
Front Pass. Side- 1,277 lbs.
Total Front- 2,574 lbs.

Rear Driver side- 1,237 lbs.
Rear Driver side- 1,249 lbs.
Total Rear- 2,486 lbs.

Total Wt.- 5,060 lbs. Front weighs 88 lbs. more. Of course once I have a full tank of gas in the rear and my fat ass in the front this will change:eek: Also gear.

Ramping was pretty much even front and rear. We could'nt ramp it all the way yet pending some more fender and bumper trimming but it should be at least 1,200 RTI. Right now it's over a 1,000 RTI

Here are some pics:
