    Good find. Unfortunately we are house shopping again and all my funds have been frozen by the lady :D

    Are you still shopping for a rig? Get one?

    Picked up a cheapo toolbox for the bed and rattle canned it black. Installed this weekend. I also had a slow leak in my rear drivers tire due to a screw. Patched that as well.

    Nice little rig, I love that ARB plug kit Had a cheap plastic handle one break and spit my hand pretty good after that the 30 dollars were justified

    Thanks man, I'm digging on the truck. I have a long list of things I need to do but its going to be a blast.

    I like the ARB kit too though I'm always scared I'm going to knock myself out when pulling out the plug tool :D

    We just did a trail ride up to Loyalton yesterday to check out the snow and take pics of the aspens, doubt I can convince my better half to roll out again today. How long you in town for? The season? Maybe we can plan something for next weekend.

    Sounds good. As we get closer we can finalize the plans and see if others want to join in. Have fun today!

    :thumbsup: I'm moving out of my house and with the holidays I'm not going to be able to do anything until next year but hopefully then I can start getting down with this thing. The only thing I've done so far is put in PS. I do have an IFS box in the garage ready for hi steer :spy:

    No worries. It took me a while to get my ducks in a row before I was even able to pick up my rig. I look forward to seeing where this thing goes!
