That looks awesome man, how tall are you? I was just wondering to get a reference with that picture of you next to the truck at the gas station.

thanks guys. i was gonna take a lot more pics and post a new thread with all the details today but it kinda seems redundant now. i think everyone has already seen it at this point, so no sense in posting again. oefootball: i'm 5'10". i havent taken any measurements of the truck yet but i'd guess the roof sits maybe 7' from the ground?

go for it! you'll LOVE it! it's kinda funny but when you lift your truck the whole thing seems bigger. there's an illusion going on that just makes the body and everything seem like it grew. hope you have a 2wd though if you want 37s. i hear the 4x4 boys can't go above 35s without causing problems with their CV axles. they're also limited to 4.56 gears. but they do have 4-wheel traction so it's a trade off

I guess we are lucky we have woman that understand us guys have the need to mod our trucks.
Actually my truck is 4x4 so I'll probably have to beef up everything. and currently I only have one truck and I take my folks to do the shopping and etc. so thats why I'm not looking to lift it yet untill I get another truck I can keep stock height.

my wife's only complaint was that i was spending more $$ on my toy than hers. so now she's shopping for an excursion. long as i keep it equal with her she's happy. so my advice to the guys that have to listen to a bunch of crap when they want to spend money on their trucks, buy or promise her something nice. if you spend $3k on wheels tires and a lift, get her a tennis bracelet and tell her how hot she looks sittin in your newly modded truck. after that she'll love it when you mod your truck and probably help you with it too. and if you really wanna push it, get her to wash your truck in a white tee and some short shorts while u take pics (when your neighbors aren't home lol). that way you get a free wash and a peep show

Damn that's atrocious.

Ya I definitely wouldn't be caught driving in that POS.

You should let me take it off your hands for you. I mean, I live in Texas, but I'm willing to fly out there and drive it away for you.

Just a thought.



Haha that's one of the sickest trucks I've ever seen man. Major Props. It looks like something somebody drew in History Class as a hope and dream, Lol. Bad ***, bro.

hahahaha thanks PDeezy. i remember drawing those "dream trucks" back in grade school too. used to order all the free catalogs and magazines and draw'em out with complete details of what i would do to them, how much each piece cost and where i would buy them from. i was a bored kid......
