Finally got some pics with a real camera instead of a disposable. Let me know what you think and ask any questions you may have. Thanks.

Ahhhh very nice

I like that vailence, where did you get that? And how do you like your BFGoodrich All Terrians? I've been wanting those for a while. Do they handle well on wet roads or snow?

I got my valance from jbm. I love my BFG All-Terrains. They have worked fine for me in snow and rain however my snow exposure has been very little living in South Carolina. I really can't speak too well on their snow handling...maybe someone else can help you in that department.

Nice looking rig! You do know that carbon fiber adds horsepower, right? Where did you get the carbon cover for the steering wheel? Is it real or carbon-look?

I could be wrong but i think it is a lil lower if you look the top of the passenger wheel is level with the meeting of the chrome and black part of the bumper (sorry dont know the fancy names) while the driver side seems to be about a quarter of an inch above the meeting of the two pieces.... i dont know for sure if that proves anything but seems logical in my head, then again i havent slept in 50 something hours so /shrug

Does look very nice though 8)

I Live in Big Snow Country (Winter B4 last we had 300") and I had BFG A-T's on this winter. My opinion is that they aren't that great as snows. I think that the rubber compound is a bit hard for slippery conditions and they have a tendancy to sliiiide on hard-pack or icy snow. I tried to compensate by airing them down a bit, but that didn't help much. They weren't a whole lot better than the BFG "Long Trails" that I had on the previous winter.

Wet roads: no, definitely not
Snow: not bad -> fairly good

Nice ride man, looks awesome!

Thanks for all the comments guys. It feels good to know that people appreciate what you've put so much of your time and money into. Now to answer some questions.

tomus1000- the steering wheel is a fake K-Mart special. I'm waiting to put on my two-tone wheel skins cover and change my dash to brushed aluminum via Jason B

Schuey2002-I got my reverse indiglo guages off of ebay. I can't remember who I got them from because they were a gift from my girlfriend.

L33T35T- My nerf bars are made by a small company in Georgia called Wildcat Flash. I was looking at Smittybilts but I didn't like how they didn't come all the way back like you said. These were only $200 and they came with a 6 year warranty so I had to jump on them. As far as the grille and valance go they are direct replacements. I chaged them when I got in a wreck because it would be easier that way. However, you can just buy the inserts, cut out the center section of your grille and install. The bumper and corner lights came from procarparts.com

I think some of your are right about my passenger side lean. It's never really occured to me in person though. What side is the gas tank on? Could this be the problem? Thanks again everyone and keep them coming.

I got the tv from a friend who wanted to get rid of it. He sold me the tv and a dvd player (which is under the passenger seat) for $135 so I had to get it. I installed it myself and it has been a great addition. People riding with me absolutely love it.
