Or go eibachs/billies set up. How much did bud charge you for sliders

 

got them for 250 even. includes all legs notched and cut to length and plates to weld the legs to the frame.

 

How much if they weld them on

 

i think it was around another $100 assembled. but i just wanted the kit so i didn't ask much about assembled/installed prices

 

Ok I'll see you and Nathan in about 2 weeks

 

Thanks man! I sure hated to see it go! Hope he enjoys it as much as I did

 

took what i thought was a pretty cool pic tonight of the cutoff line of my projectors. pic is blurry but still shows the cutoff pretty well

 

Sub'd! I like the build gold tacos, FTW

 

couple updates:
i got a molle seat cover/storage for christmas and its great. i kept several things in a box in the bed and this now holds all of it and cleared up some bed space.



Also got a smittybilt 54" hi jack. i wanted to mount it in the bed and still be able to use my tonneau cover. I came up with this design and so far it works good. 3' angle iron (2"x1/8") and two 1/2" bolts. unfortunately had to drill in the lip of the bed, but couldnt find a better alternative to this setup.







And today finally replaced the brakes and lines. stoptech slotted rotors with hawk lts pads and 2" extended goodrich stainless lines. braking is much more responsive now and a huge improvement over the factory brakes.





and my next project!! getting these mounted by the windshield

 

duallys mounted. still have to tidy everything up since i ran out of time with new years festivities. as usual, pics dont show a bright these lights really are. pics are taken with an iphone



Headlights only


10" flood with headlights


10" flood, dually floods, and headlights

 

Sweet man. Sold my retros while I was home and ordered another set. Prolly get some rigids when I get a bumper

 

yea i love my light setup now, almost 180 degrees of light in front of me. rigids mounted in plate bumpers look sick. cant wait to see it

 

quick shot of the setup

 

finally some snow in the mountains

 

Looks awesome man! your truck has come a long way!

 

went against my better judgement and went thru some mud yesterday. not looking forward to the cleaning but it was a good time. hopefully will have my sliders welded on next week as i really needed them pulling out a buddy in a tight spot, tree almost rubbed the entire body of my truck!







and here is where i got stuck... tried taking it a little too slow and dug myself a hole. ended up taking 2 trucks to pull me out. not sure what i was wedged on but the drivers side was sunk to the bottom of the cab.

 

Nice! I hate cleaning mud from under a truck

 

I do too! It was fun but it was my first and probly last time hittin mud holes in this truck. Nearly $10 in quarters at the car wash and still had some to wash off when I got home...
