Some of you have seen my truck, but it has been changing weekly and now is almost where i want it too be. The tire now clear with no issues, at least on the trails in the woods and climbing a few ditches. I am sure i can get them to hit with some serious offroading, but that is just fine by me. I went up to a 3 inch body lift, trimmed bumpercover and fender away.
I got the best tires i ever owned on my truck and I absolutly love the rims. Bling doesnt stop you from offroading, but can make people look twice when they see black chrome and no bumpers.
Ready for some protection now that i got the ride and height where I want them. BartonMD should get my check any day now and I will get the skid from him, but I eagerly await the radiator skid. I am waiting to here back from a guy in colorado that is working on a 2002 TB to develop some rock rails to market, or I will just weld some freaking tubes up and call it good. Bumpers will be in the future somewhere, hopefully sooner than later.
I got the intake and exhaust done fairly well and paid for the tune, just need a week to left the truck sit, but I cant hardly bear to do that. Truck runs really good for 33's. Quicker than one would think. I know the 3.73s arent low enough, but til something pops, they stay.
But any way, hows it going, give more ideas and hopefully my truck inspires a few, since I LOVE MY FREAKIN TRUCK.
I love my truck

HAHA... the green text matches his accent color on the TB...
TB is looking good, definitely unique. And as for "loving" your truck... stay away from the tailpipe....

Green gets attention, but i will change it so its easier to read. As for the tailpipe...Powdercoat ad exhaust dont mix, but they are giving my money back if I change it out. I got a black chrome one to match, but i may just sand off one on there and use some black grill paint or header paint and leave it, but the tip made a much better sound than without.
they've always worked for me.

Yep, Sanding when rubbing just isnt enough.

Welcome. You can just shoot me any idea you have or want for your truck and I will make it happen. The only way to market something is to get it out there and that's what I do. Ask Greg and he will agree. Thanks Neil.

Hah... part of the joke... I'd venture to say I'm one of the younger ones on this board... but age only has some bearing on experience.

I am hoping to come out that way in the spring to actually wheel it. Unless I can organize something around here and get people to come. I got a few options on rails I am working on and i will be ready for some decent trails.
i did love getting to change up the tires and wheels and seeing TB guys reactions
they've always worked for me.
