Will do.

I am rocking the fenderless... My passengers side got really messed up, so I threw away the fenders.

You need fenders? I sometimes come across decent fenders in the junkyard if you want me to pull them. I think my last drivers side was $30.

I'm not sure I want to put the fenders back on... They just get torn up anyway. I will let you know though, thanks!

lol, thats a really nice lift, about how much do 33" tires cost for light to mild off road use.
where in colorado do you live? think you should stay with the flat dark green. looks a lot nicer than a half ass job of gloss red. imo lol
*about how much was the CB?

F the fenders and F the paint. That thing is sick. Paint jobs don't get you home. Best keep it flat and rattle can good as old after each trip. Inspiring. Cheers!

edit: Nice CB install under the column.

It was Olive Drab Green, now it is flat black.

The CB was about 150 for the whole setup. The 33's are expensive, but I work for a tire company.

Thank you, Rattle is the way to go. The CB is no longer under the column. I couldn't read the display and the knobs were hard to reach if you were moving. I have since moved it back to the glovebox where everything is easily accessible.

I got the same head and cam. What do you think of it I'm not so sure it was a good choice. been hanging out with COTTORA and not many people there have 1st gen trucks with newer motors. never had a efi before either. mine is kinda doggish with 31's and gets 17mpg. It's my dd.

Sorry, I have been really busy lately. We've got snow today, but I will try and get some later.

I really like it, it does way better than I thought it would.
