    Dude your build looks good, and yea, as for pirate it looks like there's alot shitheads over there ready to bash you if your lifesavings don't go into your truck. I do like to go look at the sweet rigs over there, but to bash jerry's rig, C'mon! Thats hardcore douchebag.

    Finally did the grey wire mod today! It's going to come in really handy Saturday! It was actually warm outside so I figured I would spend the afternoon working on my truck :) Also reorganized my tool box and interior.

    So I trimmed the plastic liner and bent the pinch weld on my front fenders.

    Also removed my sway bar. For anybody with Eibach/Bilstein suspension that's debating on whether or not to remove it, do it! It rides better in my opinion let alone the extra travel you'll get.

    Went to Potawatomi Off Road Park today. Was pretty fun, but we got rained on and everything turned to mud. So instead of doing a lot of trail riding and rock climbing we just got stuck a lot and muddy!

    Sweet build. New tires look sweet. I've been debating between KM2s or duratracs...I really do not need a MT tire but I love how they look. I think I'll end up with duratracs because of all the snow I drive in. And I believe I'll be getting 32x11.5x15s when I get 'em. Sooo much cheaper for tires on 15s lol. I want 33s but I don't want the power loss for towing...just yet.

    The red Toyota that was with us had Duratracs and they were doing very well. Definitely the best A/T's in my opinion.

    hmmm interesting stuff. I'll look into it. I think I'm still gonna try them out. Like I said, I'd love to get some KM2s but I just can't justify owning a MT tire when I really don't find myself in situations requiring them. Plus I drive on ice 7 months out of the year.

    This was my first time seeing them being used. They did great on the hard packed sand mound we were climbing! Also did really well in the mud for what it was.

    Spent 5 hours and $15 in quarters washing the exterior and interior of my truck, as well as claybarred and waxed it. The paint is so smooth now! :D

    Just ordered a few things...

    Cree Q5 7W LED reverse bulbs
    Philips Crystal Vision Ultra headlight bulbs
    14" Magnaflow muffler

    Should all be in before Friday, and I'll get the muffler installed Saturday! :D
