    On a side note, I modified my stock headlight plug boot to fit on my driver side headlight the other day. Went through the carwash today and it barely fogged. Passenger side still did. So I think I'll do it on that side as well.

    When there's one that I can make it to haha. I always seem to be working or have things scheduled during them. There's a massive construction project going on at work right now so I've been getting a lot of unexpected OT the past month or so. And before that I was in school :eek:

    I'm hoping to be good to go toward the end of next month. That's when things should die down at work a bit.

    I've spent the last hour trying to decide between 15'' and 16'' wheels...only reason I would switch to 15 is cheaper tires. When I lift this summer I will also be getting new tires shortly after, so I'm trying to plan it now. 285/75/16 or 33x10.5x16 is what I was thinking. Now the 15s are getting thrown into the mix :S

    Hey, how do you like your ARB? I may have a family hook-up that is willing to ship up my lift from wheelers for free. She works at Lynden...If that's the case I may wait and pick up an ARB as well...

    Haha I'm jus givin ya shit man, get that overtime so you can lift! As far as the ARB, I don't really like it personally. There's nothing wrong with it really I just don't like the way they look on first gens that much. I've been contemplating selling it this summer and getting a Brute Force hybrid if we get another group buy together

    Heck we might want to get a good idea of who would want in on it now since Billy is so backed up, if we wait until summer to order we might not get it until Dec :eek:

    That'd be great for me haha. Tires are a priority over a bumper for me. Lift and tires are gonna be my limit this summer I think. But a down payment on a bumper I can probably swing if I can get it in towards the end of August or something. Depends on my job situation and what I'm making.

    That's probably a fairly realistic timeline. June to August somewhere.

    Go big or go home. Fortunately for us it doesn't matter. Our home is the biggest too.
