Swamp Yankee - love my 2012 standard cab SRW XL - basic fleet truck. Bought mine as a leftover July 2013 as the 14's were landing at the dealers. Mine happen to be fleet red, vinyl seats, ribber floors, manual 4wd. Spent a couple of dollars - not too many - and added cruise control and some black paint along the bottom. Loving this truck, just over 70,000 miles and time for new tires, otherwise just routine maintenance - oil changes - rear brakes from towing heavy - but loving the truck ! Best of luck with yours, most of all enjoy it !

before black paint


after black paint added

Nice looking rig Rump. Are the axles flipped on that camper since you have so much lift?

Yes, the axles are flipped and everything surrounding them them is reinforced for super safety.

looks like a pretty sweet setup. I put on my 2.5" leveling kit today. Quickly realized that it will need a rear block now, but no big deal. I'm fairly certain that i can run 37x12.50 under it now. Don't know if I'll go that big though.

I'll take some tomorrow, I took a few of during the install when I had it torn apart and going back together, but didn't take one of the finished product for some reason. I'm still waiting on my trackbar relocation bracket, and I ordered the sway bar drop bracket tonight even though I probably didn't need to. Just didn't like the angle the sway bar was on.

After looking at it today, the truck sits too high in the front now that it is leveled. Ordered 4" rear blocks and will install them Friday. Then I will post pics.

So a few things have happened.

SuperDuty grill and tailgate inlays. Came out great and really made the lettering stand out.


2.5" front leveling kit. Word from the wise, 2.5" in the front on these trucks gives you the Cali lean or rearend squat. I ended up getting 4" ready lift rear blocks to replace my 2" factory rear blocks. made the truck sit dead level with the 2.5" in the front. Looks nose down in the pic, but that's because of where it is sitting. I am fairly certain that I can stuff 37s under it now with the lift it has, although I may end up going with 35s just so I can avoid any rubbing. Both front and rear were super easy to put on. Did the front on Monday in about 2 hours, and did the rear today in a bout 2.5 hours. The search for tires begins.

I could put 40s on it, however I would only be able to drive in straight lines.

As promised, 35X12.50s. They are used, but they look better than the tiny geolander tires that were on it. (Ignore my bent running board. It is next on the list to fix.)
