Are you gonna lift it?

Wish I had money to spend on mine. Lol!

Are you gonna lift it?

As of right now I have no plans to, kinda just wanna get used to it and see if I wanna do anything that extreme. Plus those types of things tend to get expensive when you start talking about wheels/tires/etc-and I already have an expensive list of wants. But, with all that said, you never know lol...

Yeah, i started getting together my list of wants thinking I would do it all immediately-then I figured out how much it would cost and I had to throttle back a bit lol.

On an unrelated note, how do you like living on the big island? I have a friend who is considering moving there at the end of this year...

have you seen my rig yet?

I have-a lot of the X's on this site have been inspiring me on what I want to do. I am just not sure if a lift is one of those things right now.

Alright, mod one complete. A set of 245-70-R17 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs. A couple of pics-

SOrry, crappy day out and the pics arent too good, but you get the idea. Now, onto the grille/heads/grille guard.
