Had to try on the new shoes.... I love the look on the truck, hopefully the 33's don't look too small once I lift the front with the X codes. I also got a start on the new rear PowerStop brakes this morning. Shocks are next, then on to the front where the majority of the work is being done.









New Powerstop rear brakes and Russell stainless lines installed.

Sure did Russ! Carlile package express, $29.00 from Tacoma, $50 to get them there from ATS. My Powerstop kit at 200# was just over $30. When you have time to wait, it works great for me and saves me huge $$ over UPS.

I ship a lot of stuff up on Span Alaska for work and have done some car parts. I got my tires for my F-150 for about $40. Waiting is the hardest part though...

AK Bedliners finished my rockers and bumpers and was nice enough to snap a few shots at their shop. I'm still 10 days out from getting to go home and get back to work on it. Still will need to put the running boards back on and then maybe a set of the 05 HD lights. I like the look without chrome although the pictures are dark. Unfortunately my stupid back door sensor kept my dome lights on all night with the temps below zero. Will be putting in 2 new fresh batteries when I get home too.

Truck looks great man, wheels and your lower paint scheme really match well. I am sure it will be hard wearing too, especially up in your neck of the woods.
