    @SMKYTXN thanks for taking time to entertain KBUG on Friday afternoon, and for talking to me about your truck. How long before Trail Toys has a "Chevy 3/4ton Leaf" kit I can buy and bolt on?

    Oh, and a photo of KBUG at the top of the hill with my Breakfast Taco, mobile antenna farm...

    Happy too Lars! Let me know when you're ready and I'll get that kit ready for you. :D Minimal welding required. :playball:

    Yes.
    I'll drive it out to Houston, and let you do the cutting and welding on the back of my truck. Might as well have you help me box the frame while we're at it. ;)
    One of these days I'll collect prices and part numbers from you because the rear end of your truck is pretty epic.

    Do a flat bed while you are at it. Only makes sense since you are already cutting and welding.

    Yes.
    But I like having a "pickup truck" bed. :)
    At least I'm not afraid of cutting the holes in the bed necessary to mount those massive Kings. :)

    A Chevy 63" leaf swap should be fairly easy. Junk yard springs 50 bucks and a number of vendors have the 63" swap kits for around 120.

    Only problem is they are some wrapping mo fos. Trac bar is pretty necessary.

    Tell me about it. :rolleyes:

    A traction bar would have saved both of my drive shaft failures this year. Chris, I may need to come borrow your welder one of these weekends.

    Stock TRD front skid plate took some abuse.... The Steel plate under was unscathed, which is what it's designed to do I suppose.

    Just a touch up with a rattle can, and it'll be good as new.

    Yes.
    I replaced the stock skid, with something a little burlier from RCI. IFS, Transmission, and Transfer Case skids.

    No, although I called RCI when I ordered and I can change the rear cross member out if/when I do reroute.
