    @RelentlessFab, I have actually been trying to wait to post pics of my truck until I put everything on that I want to, ie. the bumper, sliders and bed rails. lol. I will post up a few pics in a couple of weeks when I finally get around to blacking out the badges on the sides and back. I am still trying to decide if I want to do with the grille. I am undecided if I want to buy an aftermarket grille or use one from an SR or Limited. Too many decisions to make. I will try to take some pics of it on Wed or Thurs (my weekend) to put up here. I may actually get around to blacking out the badges this weekend too. The only thing I have done to it cosmetically is to rig a 30 inch light bar behind the bumper. It was free, but its one of the ebay ones. I need something that throws more light, but I don't wanna spend 600 bucks on a Rigid.....yet. I have actually watched the videos that your buddy posted on youtube. Those trips look like so much fun and it seems like there would be so many places to do that up here. I already have a list of places I wanna check out. In a week and a half I am going to Sweetwater for a few days and we plan to go check out Desert Creek and Lobdell Res. That should be fun if we get around to it.

    Kind of both. I think it's 80-90 lbs and you have to drill a couple holes in the frame.

    Oh, I thought it was just a bolt on. If you need help let me know. Doesn't sound like you are gonna get that up there yourself.

    Exactly what he said. Its really heavy, large and an awkward size. I did it by myself using a couple floor jacks and it was a PITA but I didn't have anyone else to help. Luckily Eric drilled the wholes in my frame at his shop which wasn't easy since the frame is the thickest where he decided to mount it.

    I got my top installed at Sierra tops in sparks. That place is the cheapest and by far the nicest place that I visited in town. For some odd reason Toyota was the second cheapest. I won't be adding a lift for quite sometime. Mostly will be using the truck for getting to nice fishing spots. So mostly trails. My old dodge just blew up so now this will work. This weekend I plan on adding a canopy roof rack,basket and an awning when that shows up. I also have a Honda S2000 that I use for auto cross for anyone in here that does that...

    Yeah I'm not sure if he does any installs. My truck was used for the initial design and fitment, so while it was still mounted up he drilled the holes for me. I did the install afterwards by myself since I took it home and primer/bedlined it.

    I'm interested. Are they 16" or 17" and gunmetal or bronze?

    The link on craigslist that Eric posted last night has already been deleted.
