pretty clean looking truck...I spent 7 years in the army, still have a thing for OD green:D

running powerline trails are fun...

Looks good. The interior looks a ton better than mine. Definately a good platform to start from. I like the color as well, thinking about that same color for my truck.

Thanks guys, I love the color as well. The carpet in the interior is gone, had a nice smell to it. Next step is to install the rear locker, chromo rear shafts and new wheel bearings front and rear.

i like that bed. very nice truck

nice truck you have there and good pics

the brake lines look good. the new shoes will work great along with the rest of the toys..

curious if your truck pulls to the right? Looks like the PS front spring mount is tweeked in this picture..

Thanks man, No pulling to the right and the mount seems ok when I checked outside. but the springs are 'rough country' and are pretty beat up and saggy. I think a proper lift should solve the odd look the PS leaf mount gives in that pic.

I just dropped off the MC winch bumper to your brother this morning, soon as he gets a chance to weld up those footwell holes I'm ready!!!!:D

Holy crap you got a MC bumper too?!?! nice man! sweet man thats awesome! No we just need to get some deeper gears in those differentials.

nice rig!!! what size are teh new tires? or did i miss it... im guessin 35 or 37. man thsi thing makes me super jealous

37x12.50 BFG Krawlers!!!! Youre telling me! i have to see this thing in real life!

If your frame wasnt already bobbed i'd say do rears up front and 63" chevies out back.
Youd get alot more lift/flex that way.

very nice rig. love the tube doors!

Thats was the handy work of the pervious owner :(, its helps on depatures ( marginal ) but canceled out the 63" chevy leaf option all together.

The tires are KM2's, I mean I wish had Krawlers but...$$$

Nowhere near complete but getting there. Thanks getbent2night!
