    Gonna hang the light bar between the LFs.

    And did a pretty paint job on the flip kit plates but gonna weld the damn bumps to the plates now so bummer.

    That's really about all I've got going on.

    Oh and eventually I'm going to pull the headlights, clean up the lenses, and install my new philips bulbs.

    :facepalm: OK, well those ones linked work well, and keep the plates clean and free of extra crap while not requiring cutting and welding.

    Also planning on finding a semi air tank or maybe two at school and mounting them where the spare used to be and running some nylon air line from the puma tank to those.

    I have some questions about your arb with 886's. I am planning on buying an arb and I'm not sure what spring I need? I am planning on adding a winch and skids later down the road.
    Thanks

    I'd go 886s off the bat with the nitrochargers.

    I can't remember what stock felt like. I'd let you drive my truck if you were around. I don't think it rides bad. The dakars kick up over speed bumps like a mule though. Rides so much better with 800 lbs in the bed. :p I don't mind though.

    It'll be mounted next week. No, it's from a local shop, not sure what brand it is. Not Rigid or Aurora though. :rolleyes: $160 with tax and a 1 year warranty.
