yeah thats what i thought!
all the paperwork went through and with a clean title!

Price of the truck, lift, wheels and tires, maintenance (water pump, hoses, oil change) all adds up to $3000-3500

what a deal!

not that i dont have a lot more plans, which will keep adding up...

I got my Ironman4x4fab.com motor mounts installed!
These mounts are farrrrrr superior to the oem junk


pulled the valve cover off to replace the badly leaking gasket and to paint the valve cover, why not?
pretty clean in there for 150k!



Transmission cooler gets here tomorrow so that and a brand new radiator goes in!

Got my transmission cooler installed.
Brand new radiator in there too.

Also had my valve cover off to replace the gasket so I decided to clean it up and give it some custom paint at work

I like the wide stance.
I had to trim the fenders just to even turn full lock. I haven't gotten to flex it out yet to see how much more I need to trim.

I plan to do bushwhackers or Napier flares eventually.

Been doing some work lately.
Took forever to get the old pressed in bolts from the sway bar links off but I got my Rough Country quick disconnects installed.
New head unit and new kicker speakers. Had to run new wire for the fronts as the old wire no longer worked.
Ready for its first offroad trip since being lifted this weekend!

Took it wheeling for its first time since lifted.
It did GREAT. really need to re-gear. It's a dog on the highway. It was sloppy muddy but the MTRs went up anything I tried.

Nice looking build. I love the stance of those 35s on 15x10 wheels. We're not far away in Charlestown, Indiana.
