    Thanks for all the comments guys! I do want to do a BHLM, with Retro's but want to wait for the 2012 head lights to be easier to get a hold of in case I mess one up.

    Here are some new pictures I took today after I cleaned the truck with the Beefed sliders installed.

    The sun was not cooperating with me for these, or the Barcelona red is just not photogenic!

    Appreciate it,

    The lift kit comes with "extender" brackets so you can use the stock lines, I plan to upgrade to extended stainless steel line sooner then later.

    Supercharger is the only way to go. I love that thing, especially the sound it makes when your digging really deep and wanting to hit the century mark!!!

    Not that ever done that, or would condone that kind of dangerous and childish behavior. Ever! We are what you call professionals!!! LOL

    :cool: Thats what I have my honda for, I drive the truck like 2 or 3 times a week because I do 60-70 miles a day. Just so hard to drive my 96 civic instead of my truck...so lately I've been driving the truck more. Kind of defeats the purpose of a beater.


    I spend more time on the high way then I do trails so, for me re-gearing isn't a MUST do.

    I'm thinking super charger after my next deployment....my next addition is going to be ordering my full size spare & matching XD rim and coming up with a way to mount it in the bed. (Thinking Y-ratchet strap, and using a toyota d rings) Just hurts to spend $500 on a spare tire. :eek: I need that before taking any trips with it, or hitting the trails.

    Thanks for all the compliments, I love the truck!
