Wow. It looks a lot better. Thats some crazy damage that kid did. I've had mine in some pretty sticky situations, but nothing that bad. Hell the only body work its ever had was the driver side of the bed. At my last job, one of my coworkers stabbed a skidsteer bucket into it and then paniced and trying to get it out and ended up ripping the entire bedside off. Luckily no damage was done to the inner panel, just the outside one. Boy was I pissed at him.

The tires are the Nitto Mud Grapplers, they look cool, but I think thats about it..... I cant see them being that good of a tire.
And thanks for the compliments everyone!
Anyone else have any thoughts on the one-piece driveline...

the 1 piece drive line looks awesome, how well does it function though the carrier bearing is there to take some of the weight off the u joints right? would that put more pressure on them (the u-joints) causing them to wear faster?

Thats a good point, Im really not sure why they use the carrier bearing in these trucks, A long wheelbase I can understand.

Heres a couple pics of it completed, we installed new bushwaker flares on it as well, which I think look pretty good. I would not recemend these tires to anyone, they are horribly loud!!
Another thing on this truck that was sorta different, it had some big spacers between the frame and bumper brackets to bring the bumper forward so the tires didnt hit it, a good idea if you dont want to trim your bumper, its makes it look a little wierd with it spaced forward though.
