    :rolleyes: I should have rolled the truck up a couple inches so it would have said Dick right above the bump stop.

    Shackle flip

    FC8E36A0-BFA1-410B-A320-E7CC3994A383_zps_ff3fbde2d318f78f43cc17c7a93cc2897f411604.jpg

    Thanx @JLink for the help. Always fun catching up, drinking beers, working on the truck, drinking beers, bull shitting, drinking beers, working on the truck, bull shitting, and working on the truck. Total install time 6 hours, actual modding time 3 hours. :D

    To start here's the before..

    09C141AE-B0E8-4EA7-851A-ACBFF024C5B6_zps_01f3353a0afb63ce0e5cd459ed11295452300aeb.jpg

    Unbolted the shackle and cut off the bottom of the stock shackle mount because it was in the way of dropping the leaf pack

    9A0DD76E-97C6-4703-BABA-7D0220F44BDE_zps_1536360d2a0ce5c30a29a7eeb0689c184d161c44.jpg

    Ground off rivet heads

    EF353C0B-07CB-4191-9419-1FCC125BBC0E_zps_183b34b8e7ff05d6ca127c2cf18f95c4899d2267.jpg

    This is where we ran into trouble trying to air hammer out the rivets. We were using a small compressor on hand with a 3/8 hose. The rivets were more than reluctant to budge. Fortunately we we able to get a larger compressor with a 1/2 hose. Grinded the rivets a little more for good measure then with the new setup with the air hammer popped each rivet out.



    Now just to bolt up

    6C23E324-F869-4706-8179-F91AF624A5E9_zps_e81a68743197a670b824e372d0e692d67578d3d0.jpg

    And stretch her legs..

    Thanx @Blackout14 for the idea to derp the roof. The more I thought of it the more I liked it! The Prinsu rack is so low pro it's hard to clean any grim that collects on the roof, so this will be a nice protection barrier for the paint after long periods of time without washing or cleaning. I'm also thinking it will look pretty slick that any area of the roof that you can see around the roof rack and under the light bar will be blacked out.

    Can't beat a better day to paint

    Yupp that's what I got, I'll take the 3/4".. Never do mind rake and will help when I'm loaded with camp gear.
    Didn't drive it today. Should get a better idea of handling over the next few days daily driving to work.
