    Then i coated the mudflaps with bed liner. just a random idea.(after my st's took a bite of my front flaps backing across a small rut and ripped them straight off. i hate how the mud flaps scrub EVERYTHING. theyre all off currently until i can replace the stupid little snap clips)

    Then i got bored with the look of my trd beadlocks. why i have no idea. so i ran across Bridgcat who had some 16x8 moto metal 951's in black. so we swapped..

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    and finally.. how it sits now

    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    future upgrades:
    Dakar/All-Pro standard leafs (Cant Decide)
    Bilstein/Toytec coilover setup
    LR UCA's
    33" ST's or Duratracs (yet again, cant decide)
