Nope, my boots are just shredded. Still lagging on my diff drop though. I still need to install my new ball joints and I'll probably do that when I get new boots.

Random update....haven't been on in a while. External tranny cooler installed.... finally.... Ditched the POS DDM HID kit, do not buy one. Bought a 6000k kit from this guy in town and I LOVE it. Set has 2 bulbs in each housing, one bulb is the whitish/blue 6000k color and then when I flip on the brights those bulbs kick off and the other bulbs come on and they are bright amber and light everything up. No idea who makes the kit, just has some japanese writing on the box. Bought it for 90 bucks. Verrry happy with it.
Also, some jokers decided to cruise through my work parking lot and slash everyones tire, so my rear passenger tire was slashed and had to drop more money on that BS. Total of 8 cars got their tires slashed. damn kids.
New U-joints and a new starter going in prob next weekend.
What else....took everything else off and put it on bags and threw some chrome XD 22's on it....jusssst kidding hahaha
Still running strong, just hit 389,000. That's it for now, I'll try and get some pics up real soon.

What's up everyone. I'm moving up to Chico, CA in a couple weeks so anyone up there send me a PM and we can hit a couple trails.
Truck updates: Hit 400,000 miles finally. Broke a CV, replaced both. Installed Magnaflow catback and K&N intake. All upper and lower ball joints replaced, tie rod ends, new brakes (Sam, still haven't done the rear disc brake conversion lol).
Water pump just went out. Replaced that, timing belt, multi belt, idler belt, ac belt, and ac clutch. Should be good to go after all that.
Otherwise, truck still looks the same I'm just a slacker on getting pics and I know how everyone hates that. Here's what it still looks like.

Damn, what a blast from the past. Glad to hear she's still on the road and good luck on the move to Chico. I went there for a semester in college, but left to play football. Hopefully you can make some NorCal meets in the future.

It still looks amazing man! 400,000 miles...now that is a milestone! Mine has 222k and climbing, I have been toying around with the idea of selling it soon, but you just gave me the motivation I needed to keep it til I drive it into the ground! These things are tanks! :cheers:

looks good, and damn 400K miles, makes my just hitting 100K on my '02 seem like a brand new truck, lol. can't wait to see what else is in the works. .

thanks man! nothing in the works yet... kinda interested in the OL rear bumper but I DO like it without a rear bumper though so i'm yet to decide...
Otherwise, gonna replace the headlights (housings), tails and corners soon enough. Gotta replace a CV and figure out whats making noise near my engine. Sounds like a bearing of some sort, little stuff.

Thanks! Not currently.. I have been undecided for quite some time now lol. I am almost leaning towards an addicted rear bumper or the CBI hybrid.
