    Currently painting the swingout. May need to adjust the u bolt on the latch a bit once its on there for good.

    Also drilled out the broken exhaust stud and put a new bolt in. Should get rid of the exhaust leak giving me cat/o2 sensor codes.

    Still deciding how I'm going to build mine, and I'm running 315's so I'm pretty sure no matter what I do my rear view mirror is going to be useless lol.

    Picked up a 60 inch hi lift. Swapped in stainless uniballs, put in flush mount pods and the 20 inch up front.
    Also got a nice craftsman tool box so I don't have all my tools shoved under my bed :anonymous:

    I've been thinking about cutting some into my tailgate on the glamrunner, not really any good spot for lights on the bumper
