After 4 long weeks, it's done!

Sorry for the spoof Wiggs...

I got my truck back today. SRT10 hood, Road Armor bumpers, repainted the tailgate, rocker panels, and fender flares, and I'm going back in a month to get that 3M transparent stuff put on the rocker panels so they don't chip again.

I have a Warn 16.5k winch to put in the front bumper along with dual 4 inch PIAA driving lights. The driving lights have not arrived yet and I need help mounting the winch, it only weighs 136 lbs. The rear bumper is also a winch bumper but I will not be running a winch for the time being, just PIAA backup lights and my Eclipse backup camera that goes to the AVN7000 7 inch in dash DVD/navigation unit. I still have to put on the Kodiak Sidewinder steps some day, but the most impressive part is done now. I'm in no hurry to install the steps, I kinda like having a big truck with all of these short skirts trying to get in it. "Need a boost?"











More pics later on once I get everything else installed! That is the new Road Armor bumper with the prerunner light bar and I asked them to weld on 4 tabs instead of 2. Other than that, they are both the bottom of the line stealth series bumpers. I love 'em.

Looks great DJ. I've always been a HUGE fan of the RA bumpers. Your truck would look killer with a set of Toyo M/T's! They might be a heavy tire but they look great on lifted 3rd gens.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can spoof me anytime!

Your truck looks amazing! How hard was it to paint the RA bumpers the body color? I really like your setup. It is making me think more and more about that hood and front bumper combo! I may have to do the rear as well. I think I will put a rear winch either in the bed or have it on the rear bumper and run the cable through a pully location at the front of the bed so I could pull stuff up on to the bed like my quad (if it's not working) since pushing a 1000lb. quad up the ramps just ain't happenen!!

I WANNA SEE MORE PICS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great looking ride. I almost broke down and got a RA but I couldnt sawllow the price of it + shipping+paint+winch+lights+fender flare's.

Are you going to paint the bumpers to match the color of the truck. It would look alot better if you did that.

I also think a set of Toyo's would look killer.

It shows a 4.5 inch lift, w/ 37 in tires and all that wheel well room, thats not a 6 inch lift or 35 inch tires? Just trying to get an idea of my next lift, truck looks dead on, I like it.
