Thanks for all the support guys, it's awesome how much we get from back home!!! Uploading a few better quality pics...looks like it's in great shape. Still a sag even after everything was unloaded so I think the zuk mod will be getting done ASAP after my return. At this point I'm really not feeling the front bumper so I'll probably try to find a stocker to throw on. It may look better in person but the front end looks incomplete to me in the pics.

NIce find, dlott That front steel bumper appears to have been nicely welded at the end of the 2 frame horns.
As I mentioned in the pm.....I'd be tempted to just get the longer 13" and see if the lift is tolerable.....I'd also make sure to not get anything stiffer than the 125 pound rating if they have the rating known. Then you can easily chop off a couple inches if it has too much lift. I'm not the biggest fan of the 5" diameter coils over the upper steel stopper but they seem to work aok for most. I still favor the skinny 2.5" inside diameter coils and cutting the upper steel mounts to 1 inch long.

Okay, I may go with the 2.5" route...I'll figure it all out once I get home. Just have to build a wish list for now

So I guess going back to a factory style bumper would be kind of a pain?

Well I made it home safe and sound!! Spent the last couple of weeks unwinding and playing with the truck. Pulled the interior for cleaning. Ended up putting a new mat in and respraying the plastic panels. Also threw a factory type bumber and valance on. I know it's not very strong but I like the look and it won't be doing much trail riding, just open muddy roads during hunting season.

Progress pics






Notice the new color coming soon!!

More progress today. Pulled the spare set of wheels and tires out...after cleaning them up I sprayed them black and bolted them on. I think the truck is really coming along
