    I was thinking of getting some Bushwackers but I've changed my mind. Probably just stick to stock fenders to avoid mudflap woes. I hate safety check and recon! I really like the look of them tho. Again, sick truck! I hope to see it around the island one day.

    MGM was originally my second choice but when I saw it in person I immediately decided to forget NBM and I am happy I did.

    Yeah, its not really worth it. Plus all those shiny bolts are just for looks! They don't even bolt into the fender :rolleyes:

    Some pics of the rear with the homemade flaps. Thanks again for all the compliments everybody! :cool:

    The front sag is noticeable. DSM recommended that I get the 700# coils since I also have the IFS skid on now, with the mid skid and Beefed sliders on the way.

    This is a beautiful truck. I am now sold on the Konigs with the Duratracs. I even like the white letters out on yours. Great job.

    Thanks! I am very happy with the konigs and duratracs. The wheels are super easy to clean, and don't seem to get that dirty anyway. I like the white lettering out on my truck and other MGMs, but against other colors and setups may not look as good.

    Me too! :D I don't even use a wheel cleaner spray anymore.

    Got this in the mail today... Never realized how big these things are! I might take it apart and fab a polished aluminum pulley at work. This one is pretty rough.

    Yeah, for $25 shipped, i'm not gonna complain. I just don't wanna fray my expensive synth line.
    I also noticed the washers for the pelfreybilt front bumper was pulling though since the holes are elongated, so I made a bunch of .100 (+/- .003 :D) thick washers today.

    Not bad considering I was just parting them off :eek:

    Go for it! The hardest part (aside from actually putting them in the oven) is prying them apart. Watch a few videos on removing them too. There is a weird twisting motion to get them out, along with a hidden screw in the fender area.

    Thanks again for all the compliments :) I am real happy with the way the truck looks and performs.
    When I first ordered the truck, I told myself (and the wife) that I want the 4x4 off road because I don't have to do anything to it. It was just fine stock and i'm gonna leave it that way :rolleyes:

    Ha it's never ending! I said the same thing when I talked my wife into the truck. Then I said its good stock when I got stuck and Ron pulled me out. After that it's been a downward slide lol

    Thanks! I make the relocation brackets, but am taking a break right now because I am pretty busy at work. I will let you know when I am ready to start another batch. There is another TW member that makes a bracket out of bent stainless plate if you need one right away.

    I finished up the aluminum pulley I made for my snatch block. Polished aluminum with press fit stainless bushings. Much smoother and lighter than that chrome plated cast steel pulley that came with the block.
    [​IMG]

    I also got a few goodies in the mail! :D
    Factor 55 binky ;) Loaded prolink with Titanium pin. Nobody "needs" a Ti pin, but everybody wants one :D I might fill it with grease so it wont react with the aluminum...
    [​IMG]
    Pelfreybilt Offroad sent me their mid skid plate, custom light bar fill plate, and raw headlight hoops for when I am ready to upgrade to full hoops :D
    The filler plate is just until I decide to drop some serious coin for a Rigid 20" light bar.
    [​IMG]
    I'll post pics as soon as I get it all on the truck :cool:

    Send them a message and ask about shipping to Hawaii. I made a deal with them on Ebay, and then finished it up outside of ebay :D
    got it for $142 shipped.
