    Thank you brother!

    I still have some big plans for this truck though! I love my spyders but if you have the ability to get the CCFL instead of LED spend the extra money for sure.

    I pulled out my 2x 12's and put in a custom box someone on here sold me for a great price and im glad to have my seats back with a little bass.

    I still have yet to put on my DT headers, and Stupid Hurts hooked me up with some American Outlaw AR23's i will be putting on in april. So look forward to some new pics!

    Also, when I went to the Mod Day i fucked my doors up and set myself back about $300 dollars while trying to reupholster my arm rests (not an easy DIY).

    I've also been experiencing some crazy troubles with my HID Fog Kit but AZ has been amazing through it all in is working with me to get it fixed so that is a minor set back as well.

    Here is a picture of my Interior Lighting, Gravedigger and my truck (who was just in a random parking lot), and my damage!

    damn bro sorry to hear about the door! you really have modded the hell out of your truck though and it looks bad A. so no worries you have a minor set back but you also have one of the coolest 5 lugs most people ever see so just stick to the brighter side of things bro!

    Hey man awesome truck:D! cant wait to see what else you do to it! Ithought you couldn't run anything bigger the 31's without cutting into or removing your bumper?!:confused: Also do the Ar23s clear the calipers? I have been looking for some 15's that do!

    I won't actually have my wheels until the 19th of april, they have been at my moms in orange county but from what i know, i will have to run 5mm wheel spacers in the front which i feel is much safer than grinding the caliper.

    and regarding to the 31-33" question... i will have to cut my bumper or remove my bumper to fit 33"s however i am considering 32x12.5r15 as an option meaning i would only have to shave slighty.

    I also chopped my exhaust this weekend as well as putting in some enw switches -- then i pulled out my seats and detailed my truck and man it was dirty. ill post pics later

    IMG_1075_e09cb70157afa9abd964942894c7ff66c57724c9.jpg
