    Rain held off and I was able to get a little more done. Been wanting to go at the stock rims since I got the truck.

    Still a work in progress. Needs recovery points and eventually it'll tie around to sliders.

    Yup, I've been through worse shit on Bragg than I ever saw at URE. I'll be alright.

    It'll get toned down once the tubing going over the headlights gets hooked up to it. Wanted it high enough to either put stuff over the hood or knock it down.

    EDIT: Just got a call from Rick Hendrick. Truck gets dropped off for the rear TSB bright and early tomorrow. I left my name and number at the service desk, service manager called me and I gave him my vin over the phone and said my parts numbers matched on the springs, got a call today saying "the springs arrived, when can you bring you're truck in." They never even physically saw my truck. Awesome.

    It took 2 people to wrestle the pieces together and get it on the truck. Did you get the pre runner bar? That thing makes an excellent handle. I could probably do it in a morning with a monkey to turn bolts and hand me tools but I've torn down 2 front ends and spent more hours on that bumper than any normal person should at this point. If you get the bumper together tomorrow night you could prolly get the old bumper off and the new one on and bolted up and good to go with plenty of time to get to work.

    To angley. Just gotta go man hands on it. Hopefully it doesn't need spacers to stay off the front quarter panels or you'll have to pick that bitch up a couple times.
