***I need to get some new clear outs...old one got in a fight with a pole when my power steering went out***

Looks good.

Still has mud flaps.

I'm not sure if you've ever owned a vehicle with big tires....


without those mud flaps, i get about 50 new rock chips/scratches on doors/bed/roof a day



with...it's only 1 or 2 a week. My paint finish SUCKS now, and i'm too poor for the bushwackers I want.

In the very bottom picture it looks like your hood is spaced really far from the grille

Mud flaps keep the cops off your back here. Rock chips suck too, rhino lining rockers and dwn. Maybe one day when i get all the rusty spots fixed I can get some paint! Or not.

It's a ebay grille. The gap is too large, but all the aftermarket one's I've seen have it. The driver side is actually cracked from the accident, and it's zip tied from the back...for now.


One of my cab corners rusted out so fiberglassed the hole, then I kept doors opened, and bed lined from carpet down and around. It works/looks alright, and cost me about 40 bucks instead of $1000 to have body shop do it.

looks good except that it needs gap guards and a rear bumper lift.

Put rear bumper lift on...didn't like how hitch looked. Going to fab up a steel bumper for front/rear. Works for now.


Gap Guards are on the way

What's rust?

this stuff that forms on pretty new vehicles from salt because people from Illinois are IDIOTS and can't drive in the winter.

I know what you mean about the hitch thing. we made a custom hitch for my buddy's when we did his body lift. we fabbed it to look exactly like the factory one. had to arc weld it all though. it held up towing his jeep to moab and back so I figure it's perty strong.

One way we got around the hitch issue with my buddy's truck was he bought a 2" reciever (a piece of 2" ID steel tubing would be fine too) and welded it to the V gap that is visible with the bumper raised to create a false hitch receiver. He put a billet bow tie hitch cover in the false receiver that stayed there at all times. It was cheap, easy, worked great, and made the actual hitch practically unnoticeable.
