    Well shoot! I need to get me some headers and exhaust in the future. I just don't want it to sound like a rice burner. lol:D

    My MPG has dropped quite a bit. I'm averaging 17 MPG and 100 miles less per tank with the 31"s. (And I don't drive like a fool)

    That's pretty much what I'm getting.

    I used to get 400 miles when the truck was stock.

    Lol. I can only drive about 75mph on level ground without winding out the motor and only 65mph when the incline increases.(even worse when A/C is on) It's not as bad as my previous ride so I'm "used to it" haha

    Yeah, I scraped a few times. I was out there trying to do a test to see wht I really need to do to my truck. It was a base test. What killed me was at the top of the hill, all that were up there were telling me to stop & slow down. I thought there was something on the trail on the other side. If I stayed on the gas, I would have made it over that with absolutely no problems.

    I sustained no damage except to my front light bar. That has a bent mount now but will be fixed here real soon. I am in the process of picking up all parts for lift, wheels, tires, lights & a few other little things. Checking out your build is killing me though. So much I want to do to mine. Quick question, do you have a pic of how your lights behind the grill are mounted?

    There are two holes on the inside of the grill screw receivers that i drilled into with a larger bit.. just large enough to fit my bolts. get extended bolts though or your lights will not be centered

    Installed my sliders on Saturday - Trying to get my fiberglass on before the PISMO trip.

    Also bought 20 leds for interior lighting.

    Bought a set of dust lights/chase lights, rubber fist grips for my shovel, and a confed whip flag.
