I forgot to post that I bought my rims on Friday morning so I can get my truck done sooner? Maybe I'm wrong, but oh well, so hopefully 2 or 3 weeks and it'll be done and lifted, ********CK YEAH!!

I went with the Pro Comp 7005's, in an 18", hopefully will look badass because I couldn't find mud grapplers on the 7005's so hopefully looks mean.

That's awesome! So I take it you got your license back now? That would be such a good feeling to drive again. I would hate not being able to drive. Can't wait until we can get your truck done - I'm excited to see it! It's going to look sweet with those mud grapps.

Well our forum thread here has been a little neglected. How is everyone's projects coming along?

I am 3/4 of the way finished. I am going to be laying the last of the glass this evening and routing wires on the back wall to start cleaning up the install getting ready to power it on. Hopefully everything will come together this weekend and I should be really close to finishing everything up. I am still trying to find non hardening modeling clay locally so I don't have to pay the ridiculous amount they want to ship it to me. But I would say I should have the system 95% and operational by the end of the week. Then it will be small little nit pick items that I can do in my spare time to get the install to the level I want it at.

I've got nothing else done... LEDs and new grille inserts are on the docket, but only can do as much as time allows...

What happened to your truck? I remember it was something oil related. Anyway, I know you've said you race. Where do you run, what do you run?

Well, I definitely don't have the biggest truck in town.

Saw a HUGE black Dodge diesel with a huge lift drive through the parking lot at work here this morning and go down to our quicklane building. Looks like they were loading up some tires or something, not sure. The rear end was sagging quite a bit though - it looked pretty goofy. So I kept an eye on it so I could see it drive away. After they were finished loading up whatever, the driver gets back in - apparently hits a switch that raises up the rear end at least a foot to level back out the truck - and then drive away! It was pretty sweet - some sort of adjustable lift I'm assuming on some sort of airbag type of setup. Lowers down far enough so you can still have some sort of access to the cargo/bed area. Then goes back up to sit level. It must've had at least 38's maybe 40's for tires. Keep your eyes open....

I kid you not I am almost positive that the truck lives in the same neighborhood as Cory and I.
