    As you can see, there's not much clearance so spacers are really going to help. Also, if I went wheeling like this, I would definitely rub the inner fenders.

    Thanks. I thought about Pro Comps, but now that these are on, I think they look even more aggresive than the Pro Comps.

    They weren't extravagantly more expensive than any other M/T tire - $220/each at Discount Tire.

    Installed my Kenwood DNX8120 this evening. Been a long time since I've installed a car stereo. Dash kits used to be a lot simpler!

    [​IMG]

    I also got my All Pro sliders in - in the process of painting them now. Hopefully will have them installed before the week is out... Still undecided on whether I'm going to bolt them on or weld them... Might just bolt them on for now and weld them later if necessary.

    This thing is pretty sweet... It has a USB cable from the back that I can route to the center console, then connect a hard drive. I can have my entire music library available anytime and I don't have to worry about ipod controls and all that mess. NOTE: it doesn't support the iPhone.

    It's actually green, but it's the switch for my Hellas. Random, I know, but it's all I could come up with at the time. I'm probably going to be replacing that piece of the console at some point (gotten kinda scared up with all my mods), so that's why I said, "oh, what the hell"... :)

    Oh, I thought thats what it might have been. I hope it wasnt already mentioned somewhere, and I was just too lazy to look.

    What are you going to do to the console?

    Got my new Wet Okole seat covers in today and got them installed! The look great! Took me about an hour and a half or so to install them. I removed the front seats for the install, but I don't see how it's even possible without doing that...

    Front Seats
    [​IMG]

    Back Seats
    [​IMG]

    Couple of things though...

    There are a few places where there seems to be too much fabric. Anyone else experience this or does it eventually settle down?
    [​IMG]

    [​IMG]

    Also, on the back of the front seats, does the front flap of the seat cover actually velcro to anything? I didn't see how it was supposed to attach back to the other side of the velcro - there is a big piece of the factory upholstery that seems to make it impossible.

    And I have the sport seats which are a little deeper of a bucket. The seat covers don't seem to hug that contour very well...

    But, I love the way they look! :)

    Truck looks SWEET!!

    I got less than 20 days until I install my lift! I havent bought any UCA's as I am doing a 3" spacer in the front from readylift. Think UCA's are a need for me? they say their lift is guaranteed to maintain factory ride and never break.

    Maintaining "factory ride" is one thing. Maintaining "factory suspension geometries" is another. The 3" lift will require an alignment and the stock UCA won't have quite enough caster to align properly. Hence the need for UCAs.

    Thanks!
