Well Ive decided to put together a thread of my truck, its not done by no means, but its getting there.

I cant find the pics of when i first brought it home, it had no tint and chrome rocker panels and chrome in the body line. the chrome was the first to go.

My timing chain ended up jumping a couple teeth so I did that and also did the super tune up kit from accel (about 3 years ago)

Very nice! And yes, the roof light bar makes the truck! How much wee those mounts?

I'd like to know as well.

I paid 150 for them, not many options out there for the obs that are low pro and curved. kleen hall also makes some, I believe it was 100 for theirs, but when I was looking for mounts they were out of stock and had to wait for almost 3 months and I got impatient.

Not bad. How did you remove the chrome on the rocker panels? I have that too and I kind of want to get it off.
Personally think it looks much better without the light bar but I'm sure it is fun to turn on once in awhile ha.

I parked it in direct sunlight and let it get warm and it peeled right off, you can also use some fishing line and slide of through back and forth then used 3m eraser wheel, a few of them.

Picked up a new set of rims. Fuel trophy 17x8.5 with a -6mm offset. I'm going to use the yokohama's that I have for now since there is still plenty of tread on them. Getting them put on tomorrow. I'm looking at nitto trail grappler's for my next set of tires.
