Ok guy's 9 day's until the truck goes under the knife. Already ordered my glass fenders from mcneil and some LED turn-signals from trail-gear. I've been thinking about what to do to match the rear track width. I'm leaning towards some rear wheel spacers to match the front track width or a t100 rear axle. Would i be ok to get away with rear wheel since i will not be doing any high speed stuff and mainly trail riding.

Yeah ordering those fenders was the hardest part because of shipping. I just bit the bullet and ordered them. What has to be done, has to be done.

For now i just have a rear add-a-leaf. I still don't know what i want to do with the rear along with my wallet taking a huge hit means the rear will probably stay the same for now.

Brought the truck home today and I couldn't be happier
Cameron and everyone at KrawlTex in Austin did an awesome job on my bumper and install. Here are two pictures that i took before it was getting dark. I will grab some more tomorrow...

No lower skid since they told me once it was welded on if i ever needed to service my front diff that i couldn't. I'm going to put on my stock skid when i can get access to it. The passenger side fender went on with no issues and lined all up perfectly. The driver side fender on the other hand was not so easy but i managed to get it on anyways. Anyways here are some more pictures.

Love the long travel kit man looks great with those fenders and lights cross the front, What are you going to do with the rear to get the tires out the same width t-100 axel or just wheel spacers??
