    Your right about the Methods kind of being a pain. The 4.5" BS isn't really conducive and makes me have to run spacers.

    Yeah, I kind of wish the SR8 wheels came in the 3.5bs like the F5's. But I'm leaning towards the 8 spoke looking better on the 2nd Gen bodies. I would still have to run a spacer in the rear with my bypasses being outboard either way.

    The Allpro guessets I bought off you wouldn't work with my 295's and that's when BR made mine. With the 4.5bs and 295's with the BR guessets you are more than fine.

    Picked up a lot of 8 Baja Designs La Paz lights. I converted the 5 that were halogen to HID and they will be ran on my behind the cab light rack.

    There were also 3 that came as HID's from Baja Designs. So if anyone is interested in buying the 3 35w HID La Paz or my 4 35w red ring HID's let me know. I would also considered trading all 7 for a nice brand name 30" led bar. The Baja Designs lights came off Jesse James TT so they aren't the most beautiful, but I guarantee they work perfectly. 2 of them were powdercoated OD Green previously and are spots, one is pretty much 95% brand new condition. You can always remove the rings and paint black or powdercoat for cheap. The red rings are 2 years old and haven't had any issues with them and will come pre wired in a series for easy install. The clear covers for the red rings have yellowed over time.

    Those La Paz HIDs from Baja Designs are so sick. I ran those on my old truck and loved them. Truck looks great.

    Just a few pics of what's going on. New bedcage going in. Frame is getting notched to allow for larger bypasses in the future. New tires are on. Spare tire will sink down into the bed for lower COG and allow a 2nd to sit on top out of rearview sight.

    Frame notch pretty much complete, bracing/guesseting being worked on. Should give me plenty of room to run a 3.0 Bypass in the future and if I get the SCT F5 wheels in 3.5 BS I may be able to get rid of the wheel adapters I have on there now. Bed should go back on by the end of the day, so should be all done towards the end of next week possibly.

    Thanks Will! Wife said this is the last major voluntary change for quite some time. So I guess she wants me to focus more on the house budget lol

    Working on the gnarticulation. 90% of the tube work will be tacked in by days end.

    Was going to inset the tire into the bed. But after thinking it over I don't think I want to butcher what little bed space there is. In the future I may try to make it work by changing the "X" brace on the frame to dip lower than it is currently.
