The Stereo just quit working one morning so I replaced it with a Pioneer Deck and 600 watt Amp
Thats all I did while I was paying it off, a month after I did on 2.15.09 a tree fell on my truck in the middle of the night, pic looks alot worse than it was new tailgate and a drivers side mirror and she was good to go
I lost my stock bed liner after the tree so I had line-x spray on put in, my tailights were also cracked from the tree, swaped em for these oem red clear
Headlights Got really beaten up from going to the Snow so my Brother MaK92-4RnR & I put some Blacked Out Headlights and Corners on
Didnt have any floor mats so i got some weathertech ones
Got My lift Kit put on this weekend with the help of my brother MaK92-4RnR & dark_fairytales, Toytec 3" 650lb coilovers & All Pro Rear Leaf Kit with 5125 Shocks
Old Shocks & Springs
My Brother Puting Passenger Coilover in
Dark working on Drivers Side Shock
After pics
Still need to cut the u bolts down
Next Mod Wheels And Tires

33s are big man they most likely will hit on cab side mine did i just cut out the section and welded and new piece in i tried just smashing it in with hammer but it hits hard when u up travel suspension best way to ck is remove coil over and cycle suspension with wheel turned left than right than you will see ware/if it hits
but looks good man i bet it makes a world of diffrence
