    It remained mostly stock for about 3 years while I was in the U.S. Navy. Right before I left Norfolk, VA I got some new shoes!

    Thanks for the tips. It looks to be about an hour or so away. So I think I might be making a short trip out that way next time I get a free chance. I'm thinking about buying a portable air compressor too.. hmm :rolleyes:

    I ordered some OEM style fog lights from Amazon for only 38$ - I was extremely happy to get these lights, I believe it makes my truck more "complete"

    Looks sweet, good job! More complete, you are. One option I was really pissed I couldn't get stock when I bought mine. I think they give the truck more depth. Good choice! Great price, too!

    MODS! :yes:

    I bought myself a spare Nitto terra grappler today along with a matching KMC Enduro XD wheel! I mounted it and installed it on the wall my truck bed to help conserve truck bed space.

    Nice, truck! Looking forward to the Total Chaos UCA's myself. The whole mod is going to cost me approximately 3k. That's with the coil overs and rear shocks with reservoir.

    Keep on building!
