cleaned her off a little just to get leaves and branches off, and then i removed the fenders, and bumper caps, and touched up the paint underneath them, and my 2 year old daughter thought it was a perfect time to draw on daddy truck with her new chalk lol

Yea. That the next on the fix / upgrade list. Will probably upgrade them to the HD ones and put shackles all at the same time. Then will put new coils in the front. Don't want to go to big. Just want a 2 inch lift on her.

Haven't updated in awhile. But lately I've ripped out carpets due to getting flooded with muddy water during a mudding trip. Found the culprit. Rusted through floor boards. Name:  20130406_162049_zps4fa6a8f0.jpg

Buddy pulled me out cause I didn't want to rock her out cause the water line was right by my intake.


During the trip she was running a little hot so I made some hood vents out of cake pans, Cheap and effective. Not the prettiest but I like it and if works. Love the looks and questions too.

The grills were made with grill-o-sheets from lowes. Total cost 11 dollars for pans and sheets.
