    It's says "I would rather go exploring outside than go to the mall and spend two hours in Sephora trying on different shades of stuff they test on monkeys."

    You don't buy a truck for its fucking fenders!
    2.5" lift w/35's
    That red light/switch thing could lterally do anything. Who knows what the previous owner wired up. Maybe you could ask them? If it was my truck I'd try tracing the wires and getting them out completely because it looks wierd where it is. For the wheels, I'd take that wrap off and see what they look like underneath. If you don't like it, have them powdercoated. It'll last the longest and look the best.
    Also good luck getting that rat outta there!

    Both are Stock - built correct from the start.

    A friend used to work pest control. He told me they used pieces of Slim Jim on traps. Kinda like dudes at the checkout counters, can't resist it. And hard to get off traps. It works.

    Just read through this thread, Congrats on your truck. Id consider Old man Emu lift kit, it will come with everything you need. You will be eliminating the spacer lift (which is purely for looks and adds no performance) for a full 2" suspension lift. $1200

    Welcome, Miss Lisa to TW! Great looking truck! I love the lift, tinted windows, and stereo in your truck. I would get your rims powdercoated in black at a good wheel repair shop in your area, find out about the LED wiring & what it does, and capture/kill Mickey Rat out of the engine compartment. He'll start making a nest or chew up your wiring. Enjoy your new truck!
