I'm loading up the crew cab now... be there in a month or so?

Also forgot what I did to my truck. Did a quick DIY alignment yesterday, and found out it had about a half inch toe-in. Got that within 1/16, the steering wheel is straight, and it drives a hell of a lot better. Go figure.

Waiting on a puller for the camber sleeves, then I'll be installing Moog adjustable sleeves, and get it dialed in better.

Hey guys, I'm not sure how to post pictures on here, but there is an instagram thing on my phone I can share photos with. My only 2 followers are my wife and summitt racing. Does anybody else know about this?

took mine muddin today. didnt get as muddy as i'd like though.

Well done !!!
 
Very nice deck and nice spare ride err toy yeah that's it toy !:D! I'm kinda thinkin if it were mine I'd leave the bumper right where it is and use it to mount the tail lights and keep those tailgaters from running up under your deck. So the bumper and brackets will take the beating instead of the frame. Oh yes, there is that trailer hitch thing under there too !!!
Now being the old truck driver that I am ... I would got to wherever the local drivers get their chrome and lights and get double 4" sealed red LED tail lights and 2 smaller 2 1/2" amber LED's for turn lights mounted out to the farthest side of the bumper... so NOBODY can say "I didn't see your signals" :-X22 !!!
Just some thoughts of an old retired truck driver LOL !!! :-X06 Dave :-wink

The factory bumper is 8" under the deck so It just looks out of place. And I'm slowly getting rid of the chrome on the truck

@ Bob G. & Sidewinder. What an epic journey that would be!!!. Bob and i could start out in New england and pick up Wes on the way down. Encho you should send me your address in a PM so I can google map a route and figure miles, that would be an eye opener! "I'm going out for a drive Honey" "Where are you going?" "South America"

Those light brackets are also available in black paint or powder coat ... not sure which !!! Just an easy way to get some nice bright lights ... my $.02 worth !!!

I was thinking the same thing. If I had the time and money, how awesome it would be to do something like that!
