    yeah but my internet connection is super slow. I've tried before and it ends up being super pixelated and crappy quality.

    Nice work.
    Do you have OBA for the lockers? I take it you have the manual trans? Where did you find the OEM steelies? It took me a bit over a month to find a set out here.
    Is the header chrome or ceramic?

    Your truck looks awesome.
