    Skids finally done. The tank skids contour around the roundish tank... looks funny. Also got the high lift mount done and started on my "rock lights"

    how's the ford holding up? have a chance to wheel it yet? mine is doing well and has been driven hard. my leafs seem to have finally quieted down. need bigger tires.. 33's are just too small for this size of vehicle. wondering how your gas mileage is now that you've had it for a while. mine can get bad pretty easy if using the horsepower, have to pay attention to being conservative to get same mileage as tacoma.

    Ford is doing good.... still under 4k miles :p I havnt specifically gone out to a place to wheel(Beach dosnt count) but I have had it through the clear cut field at the property going over stumps, logs, ruts and shit. It did great.

    TPMS system is a bitch. I hate it.

    I think if I ever run these tires out I might go with some 35's. Didnt want to re-gear it with no miles on the thing. But I think it will help. Im getting 16-17 on the highway if I keep it below 65. Drops significantly if I go faster. Around town its about the same if you baby it.
