Is it bad????

TO buy your truck a better present for christmas than your wife

The old girl has been so good not falling to pieces lately that I decided I would dress her up a bit to be seen in public--with a 4" skyjacker lift.

UPS delivered it 2 days early and now I am going crazy sitting her looking at all the pieces and not being able to work on it.

And for all those who pushed me for the skyjacker--THANKS
I won't be having any more problems with the drop brackets--SJ's is freakin massive. as soon as the tierods and drag link show up I will get it together and post some pics. My truck looks like a little puppy now (a set of paws that doesn't fit the body) with the 33's on stock.

Any one else gettin the special someone in your life a present?

If you survive telling your wife then I guess it was not THAT bad.

I got mine II's and a 6.0 I/C for its birthday. I dont know about christmas though, i went all or nothing on the birthday gift lol. Maybe just finish my back rack and finish installing all of my hide-aways(4 up front 2 in the rear). Then for the new year an LED Whelen bar for that back rack, should be able to see her comin from a mile away =)

yep that was me. kinda of the dilemna i was in. christmas shopping, and my insurance came in. i know i HAVE to buy this truck. if i dont, im sure it will haunt me forever. the guy is still kind of unsure of the price. i tried to make it sound like i wasnt too interested cause hes the kind of guy who would keep it just bc he knows someone wants it.. its considered a flawless truck no doubt. long story short...i have to get to the bank to, uh... ask some questions money talks wish me luck fellas
