Thanks Driffter, I'm so ready for the BL.:banana:
See you friday, thanks again.

 

[brian2sun]

Your truck looks awesome with the new 33s! Congrats!

 

[proudrunner]

Looking good pure, seems that we both have the same intentions for our rigs. An off-road runner with the capabilities of staying in remote places for days. I know for me it is a slow process that I still have so much more to get. I'm not even half way there compare to other rigs! Thank's for posting your build.

It's definitely a slow process for me too, I wish I could drop all my money on my truck but there are other things that take priority. I have lots of work to do also.... as you can tell by all the Coming Soon. LOL The lists keeps growing. As soon as our rigs are capable we need to plan a trip.

Your truck looks awesome with the new 33s! Congrats!

Thanks brian, I was so surprised how the tires completely transformed the truck

 

[xskydivingdudex]

dang pure, the runner is coming along very well... looks sweet with the new tires!

 

[nor cal boy]
