    Replaced the head gasket. Ffffuuuuuuuu this was a pain in the ass. Everything I would drop : bolt, nut, socket, wrench etc seemed to go to the farthest region of unreachable skidplate nowhere-land. :rolleyes:

    Took my truck offroad for the first time the other day. Sand in NC one day and mud in MD the day after. Nothing crazy but still fun. This is a great forum though. So much information on here for me as a new owner.

    I'd say heavy duty skids and sliders would be a good idea. I slammed my skids a few times and may have hit my sliders a couple times too. Got your PM, will respond later today. ;)

    Started with this on Saturday, just bought it.

    Sold the stock wheels and tires and put these extras on here until I can find some more tires. Kind of liking the black. Added the headache rack that I made and then had powdercoated.

    Had to cut up the toolbox since the headache rack pushed it back towards fender wells.

    I like the sound of that.

    The guys at the local Hommie D and Reilly Auto Parts know me well.
