    Not by choice haha

    Couldn't find any pics of how to weld on the fog light tabs at the time and didn't have the lights then. So now I'm just waiting for time and access to a welder to put them on.

    May not be until I go home in April. Then I'll just get my dad to do it with his stick welder haha

    where did you get that switch plate from? I would like to get 1 because the pocket under the radio is worthless, everything just slides out of it.

    It's red.
    Been looking through your thread and haven't found any reference to what you got for rear springs. I'm guessing they're OME DAKAR's? I'll be changing my springs and shackles at some point this summer and I like your ride height in the rear. I wanna go dakar's with the 6" shackle but just don't know whether it'll give me a super raked back end.

    Hmm, it should say on the very first post that I have All Pro Expo leaf springs...

    As for shackles, I have the 5" All Pro shackles. So that combo is giving me the amount of rake you see in this picture...
    I'd say the Dakars with the add-a-leaf you can get, plus 6" shackles would still give you less rake than what I have. But not by much.

    They're Rigid Industries Dually D2 Driving beams. They're supposed to be my fogs, but are mounted there for now.

    I think I'm going to order the adjustable shackles from Toytec soon so hopefully I'll have a comparison. You can set them from 1, 1.5, or 2" of lift.

    Also, your truck is looking awesome with the expos. :thumbsup:

    Oh and I forgot to add that I re-programmed the truck to unlock both doors at once as well as lock the truck when the truck starts, and unlock it when I turn off the truck.
