that thing looks awesome. I was gonna go for more of a lift so i could fit some 33x12.50, but decided that would be a little much for a poor college student to drive around everyday. When i have more funds, or a second car, i will probably do a lot more to my truck, but sweet truck gary, thanks for sharing

the body lift was like 250 but i bought it from an autoparts store. i was thinking bj spacers and an add a leaf but that would cost close to 200 and ill still need new longer shocks. plus that wouldnt gain me 3 inches. im going to add bj spacers and an aal later on when i buy new 33's. gonna roll with the 31 truxs for a while longer.

My friends buddy is the head honcho at the store. So I get like penny over cost.

BUT, I will let you in on a secret.

You can go into lordco, open up a "cash only" account. This costs nothing. They then give you UP to a %30 discount on everything you buy. The only thing you cannot do with this account, is pay later. You must pay full before you leave. But hell, you're used to that eh?

I also have a few friends that are working there

Card? Ha, never make me or anyone I know show a card. I have given them the wrong account number before and they still gave me their discount...

No problem! Everyone should try it.. driving a locked truck is so much fun! Donuts are so much fun now So it being able to crawl over stuff while one tire is hanging a foot off the ground.

dont you have to spend a lot to get the 30 percent discount if you open up an account?

Not at all. Trust me, I have friends that are currently working there. This works. The only stipulation in terms of the account, is that you cannot get billed later. As long as they know you are paying in full before you leave with your parts, you get a discount. Up to %30 depending what you buy.

I would highly recommend an autolocker, mine is an aussie but I don't think the lockrights for v6 diffs handle much differently I've heard they're a bit louder but the road manners are similar.
I didn't read all the replies, so this may have been covered, but if you like the Aussie, whick you will, you can always get a 4cyl 3rd and use that in place of the v-6 third. They are both strong enough, especially for 33s.

Looks good. Looks even better with the bikes in the back. I have to use a trailer to tow my toys. One of these days I'll get myself a pickup.


BTW, you'll love the lockright. Just do it.

ill probably end up ordering a lockright in the next week. I just got paid today, and i booked some side work for this weekend.
Yea, its real nice to have a pickup to haul mine and the girlfriends bike. Its just a pain to try to load all of the other equipment and make it stay in place since the tailgate has to be down to fit my bike in
And trust me mike, i will be wheeling this thing till it dies
