How it started. At first I tried just going cheep for the looks and kept the spacer kit that was on it already. I soon found out I needed to upgrade, what I had just wasn't giving what I wanted. Still took some short cuts which you will find out. Regretted every one oh we'll why do we make money?? haha

Weding day... This woman in the best way drove me to all kinds off cool truck mods...

Got new Trd Bilstin shocks, didn't like the ride so took out the spacer and cut the block up. Worked but still didn't like the ride at all!

The back Skyjacker's didn't have any life in them.

With a lack of smartness I got struts that were to short RANCHO RS900XL.

BADABING BADABOOM...

I really liked the way you can adjust the Ranchos. It really helped the ride when you are towing and such.

Then came the wheels, had to test them before I got tires..

They seemed way to small and it got me worried haha. Oh how our trucks make us feel

Finally got some rubber on them, should have gone bigger. Next go around I guess!

All be honest I didn't really like them at first it took the mods to make them!

Got a cheep brush guard, had probably a few to many beers in me and beer and Ebay don't really mix

A little spring fun..

It was almost a year before I started to really start realizing what I wanted in a truck... I Knew it had to be custom made tho.

Started the bumper...

Tried bending the pipe but yeah was too thick, had to cut and weld.. I like the look tho. Keep in mind I heated the heck out of this before I started truing to bend. All let the pictures say all the other jazz.[/URL

I'm still working on other parts of the font bumper tho, still not complete even tho its painted. All keep updated..

Rear bumper was fun, same as top tho, still doing full flat iron wraps and adding a hitch under the license plate and cutting off the big, low, lack of ground clearance heavy sun of a gun off...[/URL

As it is today.

Finally got the King's, man did it feel amazing... I went out to some rough ground and crossed some of the Farms irrigated fields and it just that stuff up! Still have some tuning to do but man...

Don't have pics of me putting them on, the wife wasn't in the mood I guess.

It was riding high like one of those bouncing cars with the small gay rims..
I got some 1.25 shackles on the way and well, cut the old ones of and the new ones didn't fit.. It was an Oh *#@### moment if you know what i'm saying.
But was in a good shop and cut and fabed them to work. All the bushings were to small and the shackle didn't even fit over the upper bracket. Thought I had different leaf springs in at first but they are stock.. So I cut them and welded them back when they were bolted on..
Still sags a bit, got AllPro leaf's coming tho

The speaker mod was kinda fun, they were way to big.. Got to love the hot glue gun tho.. I love the dude who invented it haha. Here is the process!!

Notice the difference in size.

There was a plastic peace that would go over the bolts for looks if you had an open speaker top. I used that under the speaker to keep the magnet from sucking to the side of the truck.. It was that big of a back.
Had to cut this off too.

Man it sure sounds nice tho, lots better base and all over sound then before. It probably didn't help that they were blown! the finish..

There will be more to come!
