    Pretty much stock with some crap welded to it.
    this is a dumb question but if you take stock fender flares off are those are they mounted through the body? is that why you have those holes in your fenders?

    Yes...to break it down....the clips are held onto the body via the hole in the fender. The fender flares themselves are attached to the clip. This is how the 35 guys are getting away with plugging the holes in the fenders. Take the clips and grind them smooth then simply paint them your color choice and press them back into the fender. Make sense?

    Well...some do and some don't. The truck would have looked much better if I was about 2" wider on either side. If...IF I do decide to keep them, I will cut them down and tuck them in closer to the corner lights. Take about 1" 1/2 off each end.

    So in spite of my clock spring being broken and my truck no longer my daily driver....I ordered a pretty bad ass wood grain steering wheel and Nardi quick release. Now I have to wait a week for it to come in :(

    Were you running 285/75R16 Duratracs previously? Just wondering about the tire in the E class range and if it road rough or not.
