I think we all wanted to see that.

I don't know if you saw Nick, but I put the lift in my truck. I've posted a few pics.

Long time since I posted but spring is finally around the corner so I have some plans in store.

First off; bumpers. I finally made my mind up (sort-of) going with a stock bumper in the front but painted the same color as the truck. Problem is I can't decide between the pure flat style, the style with the impact strip, or the style with the cut outs and impact strips.



For the rear im going with Cervinis roll pan, though im not sure the material if steel or fiberglass or what?

Possibly some FORD letter inserts for the tailgate in black:
Black 87 93 Ford Pickup Truck Fleetside Bronco Tailgate Vinyl Letters Decal Rear | eBay

A maghytec tranny pan, and maybe undercoat it at a shop, I noticed just the humidity here in the summer is enough to peek out the surface rust.
