Looking good Lee! Looks like you used the Hammerite paint as they aren't completely black. That's the same stuff I used and it is pretty durable once you get a few coats on there.

Damn lee, your truck has taken a real transformation lately. The new sliders look great. I still say take the stickers off the TJM to help it match the color of your truck, but either way the bumper looks beefy.

Dang Lee, those sliders look great.
How much were they? Shipping?
I wanted to get a set this summer and after that I'm done modding too.

not noticeably. if it did, it more than made up for it by giving far more clearance than the stock bumper and brush guard combo.
yes, pp's and billies are still in

I looked on his website and he sells them as a premade kit but unwelded.

Yeah, we had a group buy between ne4roc and ttora-ne, it wasn't really publicized anywhere else, I am not sure why. He didn't ship them, we sent someone to pick them up, then distributed them by everyone taking a couple pairs and dropping them off with buyers that lived near them! It worked sweet! I am a big fan of the cross country relay to save on shipping!
Hell, I bought a soft top on here from a guy in PA, he decided that he didn't want to ship, so he drove up and met a guy I don't even know from Yankee Toys who was going to Paragon, that guy picked it up for me while he was in the area, then he brought it back to CT, now a ttora-ne member is getting it from him in in CT and bringing it up to me in MA at the next event we have. I love it!
I think what lee really needs is better backspaced rims to widen his stance. Or at least he needs to learn to take pictures from an angle that doesn't make it obvious.

when i up my tire size after i go higher, ill get black rims with that kind of backspacing... too much thought and not enough $$$ for me to get into now though!

Nono, you are just taking it in the best light. For example, if you get a side shot of me, I look pregnant and it is anyones geuss whether my nose sticks out further than my gut or not, therefore, it is best for me to get pictures taken from the front...or back, as Eds wife likes to take them. Not trying to make my gut go away, just not show it off, focus people on a different attribute.
