I got a set of the rigid LEDs for my truck and I took the hid's off the front and put them on instead... I'm gonna put the hid's on my Baja bug... And as for the rear bumper I have the tubing l and the basic design I want but I haven't had the time to get to the shop and start on it yet

all i did on my truck to fit my tires was have to hammer down the pinch seam and i took my inner fenders out because on full stuff they would rub but after that i had no problem... im at work but i will check the backspacing of the rims when i get home

Well some changes coming for my truck I think the head gasket is on its way out so that means a motor swap is in my future but for now I'm going to do some other mods.. I got a set of Chevy springs to do the spring swap and another set of doors to make half doors out of which I'm going to start tonight... Also looking for a front axle to start the sas swap... Thinking about bobbing the bed as well what are your guys' opinion on that??

The bed bob and half doors are a must do. although the amount of the bed bob will be determined on the 63 inch chevy spring swap..but all in all i say go for it!!

That's true on the bed space but I think I'm slowly gonna move away from this being my dd and make more of a toy that is still street legal out of it.
