nah not yet im waiting on my buddy whos gonna help me out. im sure its straight forward but i dont wanna screw it up like i did with my rustys flares haha.

did get a couple of teaser pics today





and just couple of fun pics haha









oh almost forgot, got the IRO almost alloys welded on couple days ago. i had a ton of play in my drivers front ujoint so i changed out both axle shaft ujoints with spicer 760xs as well. shafts were pretty easy to pull..just stripped one of the 12 point bolt heads so replaced it with a 6 point. worst part of the job was on the drivers side shaft, one of the caps for the ujoint broke in half and was stuck in the yoke ears.. mushroomed 2 1/2" extensions trying to get those out haha.

Got a few of those, im thinking about sanding it down and seeing how bad the rust is and just cleaning it up as much as possible then put in some bondo (if needed) and just primer it and throw on a coat of paint and some clear. Easy fix if its not to deep.

thanks man i appreciate it. i cant wait to get my bushwackers on, i hate being flareless. as for the rims..i saw a kit at oriellys for making chrome rims black chrome. i think that would look pretty sick..ill have to look into it but i still like the chrome too.
