    Hello everyone, new Barcelona Red Owner here, been wanting one for the last few years and finally got one last week.
    [​IMG]

    It was so pretty and shiny when I got it then it snowed really hard the next day so it's all grimy now :D

    Now saving up for a supercharger, in the meantime I got the bed mat, pop and lock manual and did the washer/hoseclamp mods on the tailgate.

    Looking forward to learning a lot from this site!

    Thanks man! Love the color and shine on your truck!

    Yeah lift and tires are on the list too, trying to decide how high I want to lift my truck. How high did you lift yours?

    Welcome and good choice on the color.

    Lift options are overwhelming but the most simplified help I can give you is this.

    Options:
    3" most common around here lots and lots of different versions (best for offroading IMO)
    4.5" - Only one common option for this RCD
    6" - Pro comp, and fab tech make them they require cutting cross member. Also called DB (drop bracket) lifts they are cool but not the best for Off roading.

    Thanks for the welcome guys!
    Will a 3 inch lift be enough so that if I replace my tube steps with rock sliders that it will provide enough protection from door dings? Any higher than that would start becoming a chore to get in and out of:eek:
    So many things to get and mod, it's like being a kid on Christmas day everyday :)

    I think it depends on the other door. My baja came with a 2.5" lift and I have rock sliders. Some doors look like they would still hit because of the shape of the door. Most doors would hit the rock sliders first..I Think.

    Supercharger first! I wish I had. Everything else is easier to splurge on but supercharger is big $$$$ compared to $400 sliders even $2000 for a lift.
