Here are a couple more pics, they aren't great, I just wanted some to "commemorate" the almost-completion of another step in my modification list. I'll post more after I finish some temporary work on my exhaust to clean it up a bit and have it blend into the lift & I also need to do some cut & paste on the rear tube cross member, it's sort of hanging out in the breeze right now ( a couple of inches below the bumper) and if I add the trailer hitch to that, it'll look really bad, so I need to shorten the mounting "legs" on the hitch by 3" and I need to cut off the curved tube and replace it with a straight piece of DOM, and then fab a connection bracket between the two. This will tuck the trailer hitch back up underneath the bumper like it used to be. I also need to fab some new brackets to mount my bull bar. It's raining currently, so I'll most likely start fabricating the parts starting on Thursday & get the minor exhaust mods, rear bumper and hitch mods done this weekend - the bull bar is farther down the line of things to complete.

Sharp wheels, and the body kit makes the truck look huge. Now paint those brake calipers nd drums!! They really do draw more attention to your wheels

I should have taken the picture in the shade You're right though, I know that sometime soon I'm going to need to take the drums off to check the brakes and that's what I was waiting for, if I need new drums, I won't need to paint another set.
