I really like the two tone paint job.
I use MS paint to resize my avatar pictures. Use the "stretch/skew" tool and size it down until it's the right size. I've tried other programs, but Paint seems to keep the greatest amount of detail once the pictures get that small. Other products make it look pixelated.

Yes Johnny, I Did Put The Warn Manual Hubs On Myself.
It Is Very Easy To Do. Takes About Five Or Ten Minutes Each Side Depending On How Hard To Get Old Ones Off (sometimes They Get Stuck On A Little).

when you unbolt them and take them off... any springs or small parts underneath to watch out for...? i still have the stock ones, but they stick a little.. tough to lock and unlock... can i take them off and just lube them with something and put them back on...?
great looking truck. congrats on figureing out the gallery! ive been trying for over a year. did my avatar on a mac now i have a pc, not quite used to it yet.
Really nice rig 4X4. I can't remember ever seeing those colors. Mine is just white, but I do a lot of off road racing and playing, the dirt is a pain. I guess I need to take some pics and start a gallary of my own.
Found a Pic and created a starter Gallary. Here she is.

REMOVALE OF OLD HUBS......
TAKE OFF LUG NUT COVER
NEAR THE BASE OF YOUR OLD LOCKING HUBS IS A LARGE SNAP RING SPRING. SQUEESE IT AND TAKE IT OFF........PULL OLD HUB STRAIGHT OUT.
IF IT DOES NOT COME OUT EASILY THEN KNOCK IT BACK AND FORTH WITH A RUBBER MALLET A LITTLE TO LOOSEN IT AND THEN PULL IT STRAIGHT OUT.
HUBS ARE NOW OFF....I GUESS YOU COULD LUBE IT UP A BIT AND LUBE THE "O" RING AND THEN SLIDE IT BACK ON BUT I DID NOT DO THIS. I REPLACED MY STOCK ONES WITH THE NEW WARNS. DID NOT WANT TO RISK MORE LOCKING HUB FAILURE IN THE FUTURE. ( MY PROBLEM WAS LEAKING VACUUM)
ANYWAY, NOW SLIDE YOUR NEW HUBS IN PLACE OF THE OLD ONES. A THINNER SNAP RING IS SUPPLIED TO USE ( DON'T FORGET TO BEND THE END OF THE RING UP A TINY BIT AS THIS YOU WILL NEED TO GET IT BACK OUT IF YOU EVER NEED TO....SUPPLIED DIRECTIONS WILL TELL YOU THIS ALSO ).
NOW, PUT YOUR NEW COVERS ON AND SECURE WITH THE SIX SUPPLIED BOLTS. NOW YOUR ALMOST DONE....
NEXT, SEAL OFF YOUR VACUUM LINES AT EACH WHEEL OR SEAL OFF THE VACUUM UP AT THE VACUUM PUMP WHICH IS LOCATED ON TOP OF THE PASSENGER FENDER WELL IN SIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. I SEALED MINE OFF AT THE PUMP AND LEFT THE VACUUM LINES INTACT AT THE WHEELS.
HOPE THIS HELPS YOU JOHNNY. I'M NOT REAL GOOD AT DISCRIPTIONS.
ALSO, THERE ARE A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT THIS INSTALATION IN THE FORUMS. I HAD DONE SOME SEARCHES BEFORE I BOUGHT MY HUBS
thanks for the write up... nice job...! i added this thread to my "how to" links that i have in my favorites... one thing though.. were your original hubs "auto" hubs... mine are manuals... so i don't think i have the vaccum hookup...
