    Gutted the cab, painted on SprayDead, washed the carpet, installed a Wheelskin, and now waiting for SprayDead and carpet to dry before reassembly.

    Next project will be to remove and resurface the sway bar / replace bushings.

    Then on to a lift-- if I can find one for my 2000 2wd dlx.

    Just take the sway bar off and leave it :D

    Best lift for the money for our 5 lugs is a spindle lift like the one fabtech makes. that's what I'm running on mine. :thumbsup:

    I've been looking at that kit but hadn't seen feedback on it-- good to hear someone likes it. I'll probably swoop up the full kit with the AAL for the rear. Might as well replace the bushings while I'm at it. They have seen better days.

    I understand that part. But thank you for the ideas. This is definitely something I will be investing in. Way cheaper than a new trans!

    Bummer. Catch you at the next one bro.

    I think they said it will arrive Wednesday :D Paint Friday, install Saturday, Wheel Sunday :D :D :D

    I was gonna have my pops powdercoat it, but I think I am just gonna do bedliner, then spray it with satin black. I dont want to have it PC cuz I want to add a light bar sometime down the road and I would need to weld the tabs on the bumper. I think touching up would be easier if I sprayed it.


    Sunday bro. Come out and play :D
