    Yowza! I'd cut those headlight hoops off and just run the center one if that were my bumper. Some funky angles on that thing.

    Still needs some adjustment. But will tweak it today after I get out of the alignment shop. I spent 1-1/2 hours cutting and fitting my aftermarket skid to it this morning.

    I thought the hoops would clear the headlights. If they obstruct too much, I will break out the sawzall and chop them off.

    Finished bumper and winch install. Had to extend some holes on my skid plate, but was fairly easy. I got some D2's, but need to fab some adapter plates to fill around them and fab some metal plates to cover the backside to prevent theft

    New alignment. I finally got the tech to adjust the lcas out to make my tires not rub. He was like "The LCA bushings will be locked up". Such an ass. I told him I completely rebuilt the front end.....

    So I worked on the truck the past couple days. New roof mounted cb antenna, new cb, ran wires for the d2s and finished replacing the lower ball joints with OEM ones. The alignment shop's lift got stuck in the up position so I got the alignment for 1/2 price. They held my truck hostage overnight cuz they couldn't get the lift to lower. Was kinda funny. Also put new blue LEDs behind the dash and ac control.

    Fabbed some adapter plates and welded them in for the D2s. (Or actually I drank beer and broke a jigsaw blade of Greg's while he worked on it :beer: ) Still need to finish the metal plates to make em theft resistant

    Also got a present in the mail on Saturday. A check from Fastenal for $640. So got the front bumper for roughly 1/2 price. $1285-$640= $645 :beer:
    I straightened the bent bracket and plasti dip worked perfectly for touching up the missing powdercoat.

    Ordered new leaf springs. OME CS019R from Amazon. Can't beat free shipping. Gonna have to source bushings and u bolts from wheelers.

    Newest addition. I had some energy suspension urethane bushings that fit. I just have to trim the length on the smaller ones. New ubolts ordered from summit racing. So install eta is next Friday. I came out way cheaper by ordering from Amazon $318 for the springs and $37 for the bushings with free shipping vs $372 + $94 shipping on toytec's site.

    No way. Front and rear are new 4.56 gears and both differentials got the master install/rebuild kit. The rear got a Detroit Trutrac. The front is still open.
