Haha yeah like i said on your thread i almost sold it a couple months ago. Had an really good offer on it but just couldn't part ways with it just yet. i saw you were selling your long tubes and completely missed it wish i would of seen that would love to put headers and high flow cats. I sold the light bar i had on it too now I'm thinking of putting a 20 inch ridgid light bar in the lower grill.

Yeah brake dust was a big problem but i replaced my brakes not too long ago with slotted and drilled rotors and low dust pads that helped. yeah my inner creases are the main part thats bad but they still look great from far away.
More then likely, I think the front track width doesn't change as much as opposed to a procomp or fabtech setup, I'm kinda waiting to have 10%-20%tread left on the 33's to do a bold move like a lift. I'd do a body lift too but I'm not so sure on whats required besides lifting the cab (wires, steering extension etc.) I've thought of line-x on the inner spokes to get rid of the pitting but like you said It isn't a deal breaker till close inspection.

Lucky man. I wish I had a freind with the knowledge atleast, getting/buying tools is not an issue. The freind I do have with this knowledge is in Houston

What size tire you looking to run

I wouldn't do a body lift but thats just me i don't like them too much. I am going to do the same with my tires now wait till they are almost bald but Nittos just keep going best tire i have ever had. I already have a set of Nittos in storage that Nitto sent me for free because they used some of my picture's they are 35/12.50 maybe after i use them down the road i will try and stuff 37's but 35's for now.

You can always come up here to the panhandle and we can put a lift on over a weekend its about a 10 hour drive from miami... closer than Houston haha

Thanks man. Yeah i saw you turning on thomas drive? sweet truck man love your set up. I would but i have the mod bug and i have 35's sitting in storage and always wanted a 6 inch lift and better offroad shocks because I'm not too easy on my truck haha. I'm not going to change much of appearance other than lift and new lights where did you get your HID'S? i have been looking to get a good set.

Yes! I got 43K out of my toyos and I'm at around 47K and i could go 15k more maybe more. I also haven't rotated them that much maybe 3 to 5 times need to rotate them now but they wear great and great all around tire. They are awesome i wont buy anything else love them and love the Company. I will be putting Nittos on my M5 also.

Early when i first got them i was on the highway and a shredded truck tire flew in front of my truck i couldn't do anything but run over it. The impact was so rough i was concerned it blew the tire it lifted my truck up in the air i was going about 80. I got out looked around the tire nothing but a little knick on the side wall. I was amazed that they held up that well I just left it and the tire is still fine 30K + miles later. Great tires!

Yup, that was me. I can understand that, I did to when I got my truck. I got them off ebay. I'v had them for over a year and only one ballast has went out on me. For the 70.00 I spent it was well worth the money. They're 10K hids.

Okay just got my mirrors back i finally had them painted way overdue. It's a little different than what you would normally do so here they are... What i did was get the whole mirror painted in gloss black. Then the mirror cap painted white to match and i had the painter tint the side markers i love how they turned out let me know what y'all think. sorry for the dirty truck I will wax it and take better pictures.
