well, it aint much but heres what i hot so far:

here is my new chassis tech 3" lift spindles ($200 from race dezert)

compared to the stock one

and of course the outer berrings on the spindle didnt fit so i had to buy some with a slightly larger inside diameter. (yes i did pack the new berrings with greese)

but eventually i did get them on

here is my work area while my truck is on jack stands

sooo here is the truck before (stock)

and here she is as of now

here is the bumper i just got today for 30 bux

plan to install the bumper next week sometime.

other plans: 31" all terrian tires, spray paint grille flat black, pre-runner style rear tube bumper, fiberglass front fenders and ??? prolly more that i just cant think of.

FINALLY got my bumper on

sorry, no pics of the installation, i was way to into it to take any.

i had to cut the frame tips off, cut the frame in half, and then boxed it closed with 1/8 inch steel
