PS> If you're going to dive right into the deep territory like that...... Make sure you keep your headlights(and all other stuffs like that) coated with D-Grease at the/in the connectors, yeah?

sorry guys been busy yes to all of the above she gets the full treatment every time we get back home re-grease, lube checks, ect. my breathers are up high but not high enough i need to come up with a better place to pull them above the bed at least...and I need a snorkle in a bad way just havn't had the time or funds to make one up yet...there is a story behind that dam the water never came past my hubs before the beaver showed up after he did we watched a first gen yota drown making that crossing he had two inches more lift than me a sb chevy motor and 35's, then he got to watch me chug by in mine pushing water over the hood made my butthole pucker but we made it and pulled him out afterwards

I also started getting all the tubing bought and the pieces i need for the snorkle got a stock air box and about 20' of dom tube so I should be able to get started on those in the next couple months...i'll update you guys when I get started

I also picked up a couple more of the alum. steps that i'm going to put in my front bumper...they will make it easier to work under the hood with the 33's on

They were a big thing back in the day (blue dot tails), and the old guy I bought the truck from put them in...they are just a small blue plastic lense that you glue in and they will be gone soon enough just havn't gotten around to it
