Default I did it!

Well after taking the parts place 2 monthes to get my parts kit I finially got my brushguard brackets (at cost too because they screwed it up and it took so long )

I have a body lift too so I was pretty concerned how it was gonna work out. Well the brackets had exactially 3" of extra material that could be cut off and shortened. So a few mins with a tape measure and a saw-zall I cut them up. Took them to a friend of a friend and he welded them up perfect. I'm confident that the brackets would bend and the bolts would break before the welds did. After all this guy was called "the best welder in Michigan"

So for those of you that said puting a brushguard on a body lifted truck was imposible, I did it!

I'll put some pictures of it later.

pretty slick truck man. Only thing I'd do is remove the altezzas or get some CF tezzas.

Thanks guys, I love my truck lol. I broke the lens on one of my taillights last year so I was looking on ebay and stuff and I noticed that oem lights were like $60, then I ran across those Euros for $35 + $10 for shipping so I was like eh wtf I'll save some money. I like them though

Gonna put some 33's on there too, maybe 35's offset if they'll fit.

I'm just raggin ya dude. You need a set of 33s and some new wheels. Do you like Weld wheels? They have some pretty nice off-road wheels.
