Thanks man that is easily the most complimented mod that I have done to my car . Most of those stickers have come from snowboarding companies that have sent me those stickers. I thought about other things to do that I could sticker bomb however some of the curves of the other pieces would be difficult to actually sticker bomb. That was the biggest problem that I had was wrapping them around the corners and not having them stick up.

random idea that popped into my head... you know the plastic corner pieces behind the rear tires? how cool do you think it would look if someone sticker bombed that?

you mean sticker bomb it right?
as for the snorkel are you making it or is it the Navara one everyones been all over?

Yeah sticker bomb the quarter panel.. But then again.. I don't know.

And for the snorkel? I haven't really looked into it. My next mod is hopefully going to be tires when my taxes refund comes in.. So the snorkel will happen when funds allow for it.

i was planning on building my own snorkel much like Lukes but i wanted to get some painting done on the outside first.

but just like you said, if funds allow it. :dead:

So spring break is coming up and there should be a new modification to my truck. You could consider it a facelift or you could consider it a haircut but things will be changing in the very very near future.

So this was an idea that I wanted to do.. and might look into later, but it was put back on the drawing board for later.

And if you notice, my drives light is just "tilted" up like an 1/4" more than my passengers light. That would be because Tim back into me at NXM. Granted we were on the trail, and I hit him first.. but still. That is why.

Just some night shots, didn't realize they weren't sharp, so sorry for the phone quality pictures.

Just the lights

Headlights and Hellas

I can't decide if I want to spread the hella beams out (they are the pencil beams, not floods) or to leave them as long range and close together.

Lights look good! I have the same issue with the ones on my roof, they are all spot style and can never decide how I like them. I put 2 somewhat close and 2 further out and it seems to work alright.

It was during the night run, don't worry about it, I don't care, it's a story.

That's what happens when your brains are booze-filled ;)

Looking to take the truck to the shop to have the torsion bars reindexed, shops want to charge too much, will look back into it later when I can find a shop that won't charge out the butt for it.

Also in the process of looking for SAS parts. It is going to be a tremendously slow build for that.

It's not a terribly difficult to do the reindexing.. Quite easy actually.. Save your self the money and give it a go yourself.

I might do this if I gain access to a flat work area, garage or shop.. I don't like taking my truck to the shop, I like doing things on my own but if I don't have access to it.. I might buckle and take it to one.

going SAS eh? are you just gonna throw on a Dana 44 up front or pair it with a Dana 60 in the rear?

I have no idea what I want. I was thinking both D44s. I am not going to run anything more than 35s. I want and overland vehicle, not a rock crawler. I have also looked at the Ford 8.8, like what Kelly (BlckHwk13) is running on her rig. I am still under the papers in the research phase, and will be until funds are sufficient.
