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
