And I'm not even thinking about making my Sierra 4wd lol.

Front end is back together and what not. I still need to put the exhaust crossover pipe back on. I'll probably get that done today.

I welded a receiver into my tube bumper on the back. I need to finish weld it a little more but I think it turned out pretty good, I also painted the rear bumper a little:

Bumper deff looks better than rusty!

Dude, Wicked sweet. Love the color you chose. Kinda looks like the quicksand color of an FJ. :grino: I know this is only my opinion, but those tires are too skinny. Go with a 12.5". Other than that you rocked that project out. Good job.

I know you are more into functional mods and I really respect your hard work and fab skills, but I have to agree I would like to see some wider tires or wider wheel spacers like you already mentioned, and I wanted to ask if you have thought about taking off or painting over the chrome on the bumper? Since it is the only chrome on the truck it just looks out of place. If you blacked it out or matched the body color and then went with clear corners instead of yellow maybe it would freshen up the front end? Thoughts?

Thanks alot! I'm happy with the color too. I had a vision in my mind when I was looking for the paint and found what I wanted in an odd color name lol. I'll eventually go with some 12.50's I think but I really liked these 34x10.50's and the deal I got on them was unbeatable.

Thanks man. Ya I think a slightly wider wheel spacer would have been better but it's too late now and I'm not gonna spend $ on another set lol. I'll eventually end up with some wider tires but I REALLY wanted to run these 34x10.50's for awhile plus like I mentioned, the deal was great. I have thought about the bumper, I'm debating if I want to paint it or just find a black version at the yard. I'll probably end up painting it though, the only chrome that would be left on the truck would be the lug nuts and the Honda emblem lol. I don't think I will get clear corners, they would look good but it's not a "need" and I'm trying to keep this truck in the "budget" category (yes I know they aren't expensive but I'm being frugal haha). That is an interesting idea about body coloring the bumper, I wonder how that'd look.....

OK, now that we've established you don't eat, sleep, work or see your wife or kids much :laugho:.....ARE YOU MAKING IT TO MOAB THIS YEAR OR NOT?

p.s....sounds like you're in your late 20s...HOW do you know all this stuff from bumper to bumper? :freek:

No, seriously, kudos Dallas! (and all the other peeps that know how to do this stuff)! :thumbup:

How did we establish that, I do all of those things :p Especially my kids, that's my day job lol. And your right about late 20's, how'd you figure that out :happyface No I won't be making the Moab trip, I'd love to but can't get/afford the time off. I spend alot of time (obviously) doing this stuff and it's a huge passion of mine, so alot of hands on studying :yeso:

Took the truck to work today (bout 60 mile round trip) and she did great. Rides pretty good at speed, and got the jitters out of my stomach on if she'd stay together :p

Left early so I could get an alignment, and realized today why I always do things myself and hate taking my truck anywhere. It sucks when I know more than the guy I'm going to pay to do work. Needless to say i didn't get my alignment done and decided I will just do it myself at home

I wonder if this pretty Rodeo saw me :)

Saw another one like it when I left work tonight, but the driver was stopped on the side of the road looking at an F150 for sale :mado2:
