    The bottom rocker panel part of my bed in front of the wheel well has a huge dent in mine. Sliders woulda helped. I have some on order from BAMF.

    I don't remember the brand and i can't seem to find the purchase history on my phone. It's just a cheap one off eBay because I didn't know if I would like it or not, it performs good enough for me and hasn't leaked yet... for I think it was around $115

    I orders them on July 2nd. The estimated time was 12-14 weeks. We're at week 9 so probably around the beginning of October. Then I gotta go pick em up, paint em and weld em on. So...probably mid October at the earliest.

    Nope, just clear depot dousings. Headlights when from glow worm, to decently bright. I'm going to get some LED bulbs and call it a day.

    They really cleaned up the look of the front end. Doesn't look so old anymore haha.

    So I wanna change up the rear, wanna get rid of the blocks and go for toytec adjustable shackles and a U-bolt flip kit. I read that the shackles may require bumper bracket modification on some settings? Also read that the flip kit may require shock relocation... Can Anybody help me out

    Flip kit will require shock relocation, may as well get new shocks while you're in that far.

    Nice little single cab btw :thumbsup:

    Went on a camping trip in the Jocassee Gorges and explored the roads in there
    image.jpg
    Then decided to remove the bug guard thing and get some new headlight housings
    image.jpg image.jpg
    Then I went on a day-trip to Horsepasture with some friends to watch the sun set, managed to lose a bolt for my lightbar and had to ziptie it back on while here
    image.jpg
    Changed out the ugly green dash lights for some white LEDs, and also installed some better door speakers image.jpg
    Got rock lights image.jpg
    Picked up a used leer shell for $120. Will not be on the truck much, only for camping and such so overlooked the fact that it is the wrong colorimage.jpg
    Then got these quick realease hinges from 4x innovations and plan on getting a set of tube doors to go with them soonimage.jpg
