    I apologize about the late reply. I had them on for quite some time. I had them on for around 10-15k miles, IIRC. Didn't have any issues whatsoever.

    Haha, thanks Matt. I got the CB in a while back. Just haven't hooked up and tuned the Firestik.

    Yeah, running 5 mm spacers up front to allow enough clearance from the caliper for my wheels.

    Thanks!

    I got universal 5 mm ones from JLB Motorsports. I think they were $20ish for 4.

    Bad ass 5lugger! Mad props man very nice look!

    I really like how you did the front suspension. Coils & UCA's instead of just throwing a spacer on. Very nice!

    I check them every so often. Haven't had a loose lug yet.

    Thanks, it's still a work in progress.

    Just a few little updates...

    Got an EZ-Down for Christmas from a buddy of mine.

    0214011446_98f824d6a6c44e3312268643e08f7424608a528c.jpg

    Swapped my chrome bumper with Raul aka monstar. You can also see my tail lights that I smoked lightly. Very subtle, but I like it. Doesn't have that pinkish tint to it anymore.

    0214011547_1239e8e85592bcf885ff0a7ff6a415c1f4f24e7a.jpg

    Bumper was repainted due to issues with the paint. Left the center part unpainted so the X-Runner lower valance piece was deleted.

    0214011531_60e532fa62fd86184efd9015cfe9fada892202c1.jpg

    A few pics from my most recent trip to Gorman descending the rock hill climb at the 4x4 park. A buddy of mine caught it on video on his iPhone so I'll try to post it up. HIDs were replaced with stock due to one of the bulbs going out. Still have to purchase replacement bulbs on the next HID group buy on here.

    0116011704c_09a92f406a44ea1014becf8b8c706fbe378010dc.jpg

    Last, but not least, my newest mod courtesy of a friend of mine. It was given to me as an early 22nd birthday gift. A good amount of money and time will be going toward this to get it running like it used to so the modding on the truck will be on hold...for now. :D

    Haha, I agree. Super easy install. They should come with a dampener from factory.

    Had some time these past couple of days to do a few things.

    Wired and installed Hella 500s behind my Satoshi grill. All I had to do was get longer bolts and some washers and nuts. Mounted them using the already existing holes on the radiator support. I will be converting them to HIDs once I replace my headlight HID bulb that went out.

    0228011759_2f4adb5d4ea4d23cae4e8d7f131c5ba32ac9f54d.jpg

    Also installed my Maglite 3D LED on the side of the driver's seat using the Maglite brackets.

    I picked them up at Ace Hardware. I'm pretty sure they're available at most hardware stores.

    Ouch, how bad is it?

    Haha, how in the world did that happen? The only issue I have with mine is that the tailgate line rubs against the EZ-Down bracket causing the outer rubber lining to rip so I have to close it in a certain way.

    What did you do to the door panels?
