    So truck is in the paint booth getting a whole new paint job. total of 80 man hours getting it all squared away. roof was squished width by 1-1/4 inches and pushed up by 1 inch. shop got everything to factory specs and fiberglass is said and done. gets paint either tomorrow or Thursday and will be back in my hands by Saturday. 3 months is crazy to be without the truck lol. with that said ive got one of 2 parts i need to complete the build. first is when desert rat installed my lift they kept all the stock parts.... so no spindles. getting a set local with TC gussets and lower ball already pressed. also when they installed they cut out my steering rack cross member..... which they has no point to do since i am 2wd. dumb dumb whatever the world does on. picked this up yesterday. got the cross member in thee middle i can shave down and swap into my frame. anything you guys see is for sale. especially the upper control arms. i have TWO sets of upper control arms if anyone wants dibs. just a little update on the build.

    spindles come in town Friday (6/10) hopefully have the truck on jacks all torn apart Thursday night so we can weld in the cross member and then piece the front together. meantime im converting my hella 700s to 55w HIDs, starting the process of painting my bars, and getting ideas of little touches on the truck.

    thinking about wrapping my reservoirs a blue metallic like this dude has set up, then ill use my black and gold King stickers over it, thought it would look pretty sweet and protect the metal from getting all scratched up from mounting them
    [​IMG]

    also this is what i have planned for all my light bars, matching the blue of my anodized rings on my wheels, want to keep the 3 main colors of the truck flowing (white, blue, black)

    not the final paint job, just testing colors of blue
