thanks. i had a blast. alot of stock rigs. lucky they had chains. still i know why the sas locked guys dont invite me with them much even tho i never held them back when i was all stock but good tires lol. oh well.
some updates



i re did the board i had in the rear to strap my tool box and compressor to. i had a particle board before now its a 3/4 inch MDF board. its much stronger since i broke the particle one. the board is not bolted down. i just cut it to cover the rear half of the cargo area and the weight on top keeps it from moving. plus its cut to wrap around the roll bar and tire humps.

painted and reinstalled the missing skid plate i had off for the longest time lol. gonna get a budbuilt one after the slider install

Dam that snow run looks fun!! Suppose to get more snow in a couple more days or mayb in a week or so. Hopefully I'll be ready by then. Looks like those snow aren't going anywhere soon tough haha

The sliders looks good can't wait to see them on the rig

i wont be welding them on. i just learned to weld on my own when my CAT got stolen. since than i havent really welded anything other than when i did my elocker. i have a guy i got some parts from that knows how to weld and builds bumpers and sliders for guys from time to time install them for me. if the price is right, he will be building me custom rear bumper as well. i seen his work and they look great plus he is really anal about his work which i like. no homo haha

Gunmetal Gray? They look SICKKKKKKKKK! No exaggeration, Toyo..... I'm really impressed how they came out. I did a nice job on my engines/top end stuffs, etc., ... so I will give it a shot as you've done, hopefully half as well! lol....

Thanks for responding on the rest
