    ^Thanks man. Its about done and will be left alone.

    Just one last major FACE LIFT and its an end of MODS for me. Some safety mods as well to make sure all goes well when off-roading. I needed those King Air Bumps as I've been riding around with the stock ones. We all know thats NO bueno! I'll get limited straps as well to make sure the TC LCA are supported. Cheap and safe mods are what I'm going after. Just maintenance and repair after that. My bank account will thank me. Feels good to not have that LT bug looming over my head. Its like throwing money blind into the sea. :eek: I calculated between another 11-13K I would have to shell out to complete what I wanted. That was finding deals and getting support from KR Fab at a deal. Engine cage, bed cage, gusseting, LT Kt, shocks, bypasses, bumps, bucket seats, Glass all around color matches, more fab work, electronics, etc. etc. That price doesn't include a Cab cage in which I wouldn't need. That also doesn't include buying a DD as well. I wouldn't want to drive it around leaving it out in the open. I think after much thought, I did the right thing.

    Ive been dealing with the same thought process! Maybe one day in the future but right now it's not going to work out. Glad you came to a solid decision to save some dough and you still have an awesome looking truck with 15k more in the bank.

    About your blacked out roof and scoop, what color is that matte or a semi gloss, because I'm in the process of blacking out a couple of things on my truck, and i want to know what would match the Rad red paint the best, and im stuck between the matte and the semi gloss. was wondering what color you went with.

    Damn, could swear its long travel with how much the suspension is extended sitting on that hoist. So far I spy new wheels, tires, upper control arms, lower control arms. Whatcha missing for the 12' conversion?
