    Guess I should update this thing... Haha

    Lets see, I've been doing a bunch of trail riding as well as spending money on things other than my truck... :(

    But some mods that should come soon are a co2 setup and cb setup. Should be picking up the co2 kit and some air tools tomorrow. Will probably have a local fab guy make me a co2 tank bracket that's removable.

    Hopefully after that I'll get the local fab guy to build me some sliders as well... :cool:

    Bought a locking glove box latch from RMAN808 and received it today. Plan to get it re-keyed tomorrow. Should come in handy for whenever I do finally get tube doors.

    Nice rims/tires. At 3.75 backspacing I like it. Thought I was set on Wheelers type B at 4" but liking that 3.75. Do you have any rubbing issues as is with your 3" lift? Also are your eibach coils harsher than OE? And yet another question, is it a 2.5" procomp in the rear and did it stiffen up the ride being a single?

    Haha this is true! I was helping another guy install a bumper the first thing he said when he saw my truck was, "ohh, still shiny!" Haha

    It's still good paint, I just need pretty much a whole new clear coat.

    I think somebody is jealous. :cool:

    Thanks! I think 3.75" backspacing is perfect. I do have rubbing issues only when fully stuffed, but only against some of the plastic liner in the front wheel wells toward the cab. I have rubbing in the rear as well, but the only way to fix that would be to remove my flares and cut up the fenders. All of the rubbing is because of my tires though, not the wheels.

    The Eibach coils are stiffer than stock, but smoother at the same time. It's hard to explain haha I do want to upgrade to mid-travel, but it isn't because I don't like the eibachs.

    The rear is smoother, but that's mainly because of the new shocks. They are starting to sag again because of how much I've been flexing them lately. But that's expected. I plan to get allpro expo leafs to replace them.

    The OE coils are progressive right? Maybe that and the Eibachs being linear is the reason... Maybe OME is the way to go for me, I do not want to increase my spring rate, but decrease it.

    Bought the co2 setup and air tools. Trying to decide whether or not to have a custom mount made for the bed, or just set it in my toolbox.

    My dad has like a 4ft can we used to use for paintball guns. I wonder if I can talk him into letting me have it! It'd be super heavy though

    That would be a lot! Haha

    A 20lb lasts a lot, but I can switch out an empty tank for a new full one for $20.

    Wonder how many times you could air your tires up with a 20lb tank?

    Average is between 40-60, but since I'm using air tools as well idk.

    That's what I read somewhere, but it could have been wrong....

    Since it costs like $20 to trade out the tank, I'm not too worried about letting others use it.

    Hmm, I didn't quite understand your question...
