Whats that gonna do Jig?

Got my moog ball joints for it today! I love rockauto.com Now I just need 2 wheel bearings, e-brake cables, tires and another tune-up.
Ask Jig in a PM. Other than that, thanks for keeping on topic.

Getting the materials ready to build another tiregate. Instead of one that sticks out im making one that sits low and still keep my abilities to haul the gooseneck around on occasion. Plus the other tiregate is rusting and im slight allergic to the galvanization on the pipe. Something like this: http://www.off-road.com/trucks-4x4/n...-ht-35676.html

filled it up. still getting 15.5mpg with a little hot rodding here and there.

it'll be interesting to see if the IAT fooler improves that to 16mpg

it should definitely improve winter fuel economy where the MPG's usually drop a couple mpg's...

Went to home depot with the RAM today and picked up some acrylic plexiglass im deciding to make my own clear lens similar to anzo. I did this to my old Ford Ranger and still looked new after a year.Gonna do a little more research before I go and take the headlights out though.lol Also thinking about making metal wheel covers for my rims and have them welded on there but im not sure yet. Still gotta find out how the weights on this rims are going to sit. And

If I'd go down the tiregate route it would have to look like this one (wheel tilted outwards). Reduces bedspace... but looks awesome:
