not yet.once they get here from the mail then i will get all of the pictures.as for the rack it will be custom built.12"s from the front and about 6" from the back so pretty much the whole roof.light setup will be set like a trophy truck on the top.as far as the front goes i have not fully decided on it yet but something more like a desert skid plate/front bumper setup.just ordered the 7" donahoe racing lift kit with all bilstein 5100 shocks and all new u bolts etc. as well as an onboard 8 gallon system with 200 psi comp(viair) and a set of train horns and air bags.also just got my new eckhart class 5 19,000lb hitch on this morning.will get pics of that.right now the viper remote start is getting installed as i type this.sry for the long post.o and also the lift that is on there now will be up for sale first thing next week so make offers.cheap

shoulda honked haha.i was comin from sun valley.scored on some new parts for my buddies rig and a few for mine.it sits like that cuz i dont like running blocks so the back isnt blocked and the rear suspension is just shot from towing so its got a major cali lean to it.saturday im getting new parts to fix it tho so pics should be up shortly after that.not sure yet tho since i may be buying my old truck back for half the price i sold it for
