    you also have to remember i was living from out of the inside of my truck. It was raining for two days strait. Literally man lol If i didn't have most of that stuff on the inside, i woulda been screwed. Bled through my tarp that i had in the back and soaked everything i had under it.

    :woot:

    Think i found a locker! :cool:

    Its a TRD which means i can put OBA on the back burner till i want to lock up the front. I do have drive like 700 miles round trip to go get it.. :( that kinda sucks. But i think it'll be worth it.

    So if i can close this deal, locker will be on by thanksgiving! Sliders will come after Christmas :D

    oh yea deffinatly, and it comes with all the wiring so it sounds like a decent deal to me! btw you bumper looks hella good! Wish i had the money for a nice bigole plate bumper...did you notice any difference with the ride of the eibach's once you added the extra weight? Mine seem to ride a whole lot better with my front bumper completely missing :rolleyes:

    Yea i think its a bit smoother now actually. Has settled a bit more now. I have major rake now due to my huge lift in the rear and no weight back there lol That will sooon change tho :cool:

    Only the 5spds. Autos were 4.30. But i can't just swap the third member in as they are completely different diffs and housings. Ill dig up a thread for you here in a bit to show you what i mean.

    Well..not really..maybe one day if i get another truck and turn this into my toy. But for now im just gonna stick with the IFS. Ill prolly get some extended Fox or Kings up front in the next few years for a good mid travel lift. As well as UCAs. But at the moment, i dont really plan on it. Prolly just get an air locker up front and ill be able to go plenty of places lol

    Thanks man! :D its coming along alright! Can't wait till next summer!
