Cleaned him up at home.

Tom if it's not too much to ask, can you pm as much information regarding your SAS as possible. I'm looking to do it this summer and any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

What kind of headlights are those? They look nice

They look like the Spec-D Tuning headlights to me.

Thanks man. The current topper is an ARE. One of the pictures has my old leer topper. I'm in Iowa in the quad cities. Colorado is always an awesome trip. I hope to make it out there this year as well.

Finally got the wheel and tire package I wanted on my truck. I have a1" BL with the torsion bars cranked and a Tuff Country add-a-leaf out back. Wheels are Fuel Hostage 17x9 with -12mm offset and 295-70-17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. Had to do a little trimming but I plan on building another tube bumper for the front anyway.

Torsion bars cranked still with 265-75-16's
