New to the forum, but I've been around for awhile. Thought I would share my truck's progress. Purchased in 2006 with 40K miles, completely stock. Then after a year of driving it like that, I started getting the itch to start modifying it.
First I got some 32" Firestone Destination MT tires, and a 4Crawler 1.5" bodylift.
Then in 2008, I added some customized 4xInnovations sliders. I added the diamond plate between the bars so they could also be used as steps.
That winter, I decided to make a storage drawer system in the cargo area. The idea was to keep it low profile enough to still be able to fit the dog cage in.
Then in the spring of 2009, I got some new wheels. They are Eagle Alloy series 1378. I painted the rings a dark bronze color (along with all of my emblems). As you can tell, I really like the black and bronze color theme.
That spring, I also got my first lift. It was Daystar 2.5" spacers in the front with OME 890's in the rear.
Later that year, I decided to modify my grille. I cut out all the ribs and fastened in some perforated metal that matched what was in the hood scoop.
