Any lift to it at all? TB crank? Just looks a little higher, may be the camera angle.
Thanks! Yeah, i just got those tires not too long ago and they seem to perform great. But yeah i did crank the TBs to fit the tires. They still rub a little bit but not as bad.

They might even be better than average insulated outside walls. I usually only do single family home residential installs so I don't know much about big buildings like that. It sounds like a good senior project.

They do have a UV reflectant on them, supposedly they reflect 98% of the UV rays. They're triple pane and the ones facing south have a tint to them to help reduce solar gain. The biggest problem with a glass building is it will roast when the sun is fully out and be cold when its cloudy on snowy and rainy days. Right now we're using HAP to calculate our loads. I'll let you know how many tons of cooling we need once we know.

I'll PM you though so not to jack this thread.

Next to my Jeep, winch is going on the truck along with the beacon probably

Plans for the truck include magnaflow or flowmaster exhaust, mud flaps, duratrac tires, possibly 2" lift, rims possibly, fog lights behind grill, front receiver hitch and a bed cover and take out drop in bed liner and herculine. Other than that, it's just a reliable DD and down the road gonna pick up a cheap Jeep and make it a wheeler and tow it to and from the trail with the truck.

Default Update!


I posted pics of my truck earlier in this post but I've made several substantial changes since then.
BEHOLD!:
Brush guard, new head light assemblies and Nerf/runner bars:

Brush guard and new head light assemblies:

Tail lights and Nerf/runner bars:


I'm mighty happy with it!
Thanks to Craig's List and Ebay, I spent just under $400 for everything.

Ohhh finally another regular with not 1, but 2 SUBS!

How the hell do you fit 2 in there? I just want one but it's too damn small!

Are those shallow mount subs? How's the bass?
