That's off the top of my head.
Thanks Trav, I really like it, trying to keep truck as light as possible.
Also need to put LEDs in rear bumper.
I also did the gen 3 altenator and heavy duty headlight wiring harness.

Hunting season is over, my back is feeling pretty good, 9 more days off for xmas. Today seats have to get done, with work and hunting season(my son killed and elk and we both killed deer). After seats are fabbed in, I can finish interior. (carpet, headliner, stereo, amp, woofer, ect)
Found fender flairs for $50, installed factory sway bars f&r, was 26 degrees earlier, waiting for son to pop over mountains and remove a little chill.
Travis, I guess I won't need your fender flairs now.

Hey ruger, love your truck! It looks like exactly the kind of stance I want for my truck. I was wondering where you found those clear corner lights, I've been looking but can't seem to find them. The old girl could use a bit of a facelift. Thanks
