That is awsome to know. It really feels good to know someone's hard work and imagination gets noticed. Actually on my past birthday my secretary gave me a framed mag cover along with the page my truck was on. I never even knew it was given to the mag. What a great person I have working for me. Im blessed!

usually you need a minimum 3" lift to run tradition high steer but looking at this particular truck it looks to me that he is running a high steer kit from 4x4 Labs that places the steering behind the axle due to the position of the steering damper behind the axle.
Good eye!

It is a standard high steer kit. Yes you can run it with the OME lift. I have 2" bumpstops to keep the steering rods from hitting the oil pan. I installed the steering box as high as possible and use a flat pitman arm. The stabilizer lower mount is welded to the swaybar tab on the axle. Works great!! The clearance is very tight but it is there.

Would like to see a pic of your interior with the bucket seats and console. I have a bench but just picked up a set of buckets and need to get a console. Thanks

the first picture was a sad day. every one parked around me so i was forced to back threw the mud and got hung up on a log. same day as my main profile picture.
second picture is a camping trip i went on the weekend i got the truck
and the last is an obstical section on china man trail here in colorado.

They rub a little. Need some longer shackles (still stock).
