    Might be able to swap out my 48'' Hi-Lift for a 60'' for cheap here soon. My fire department has a couple left over from when we sold our Rescue Engine (more tools than normal engine) and we don't have a need for them anymore.

    Next purchases will most likely be an ARB snatch strap and ARB awning / Bajarack awning mounts after the new year.

    I was going to try and move my lightbar down to the cutout on the Pelfrey, but the heatsink on the lightbar is so deep that it looked like it would really hinder access to the winch if I needed to get to the actual spool. I'm just going to leave the lightbar behind the grill for now, especially since I think the cover for the cutout actually looks pretty good.

    Thinking about getting the Lamin-X clear pre-cut protective film for my new headlights...I've heard and seen guys with aftermarket lights whose clear coat is peeling on the headlights within a year so I would like to avoid that if possible...

    Yeah I like to keep everything nice and organized :) Get made fun of for it sometimes but oh well...

    Also should add a 4H, 4L, rear diff lock, etc function check too. Haven't engaged 4WD since Big Dogs in October.

    Bored so photoshopped my future wheel plans.

    Matte black F-5's or matte gunmetal F-5's?

    I'm leaning towards matte black since it makes the truck look pretty mean and continues my black and dark grey color scheme.

    But then again, SCS's matte gunmetal finish looks so nice and it's more unique than the usual black wheels that everyone does...
    :annoyed:

    This picture is pre-Retro's so the truck looks terrible :)

    I've decided on the SCS F-5's I think, just unsure of color. I like the black but the gunmetal is more unique.

    The "new" rings I put on got rock-rashed at Big Dogs but I still have the older ones that are not shiny anymore.

    They'll be up for sale at some point in the future :) Will most likely be in about two years when current tires are wearing out. :playball:

    Sorry i can't read. I meant those, don't know where "FN" came from

    I'll absolutely have wheels by then. And i'd black the rings out anyway :cool:

    No worries :)

    You know, I was actually thinking about either getting my old rings powdercoated black and rattle-canning the center caps or just doing a nice rattle can job with both for the time being.

    Once it starts warming up I'll be able to knock some stuff out on the truck. Can't stand working on it in the freezing temps.
