Grillcraft Grills added:
Thanks to TOYSTRY for his great How To
NOTE: It is not neccesary to remove the inner portion of the lower grill. You can just cut the slots where indicated in TOYSTRY's "How to" and mount your Grillcraft grill directly over the OEM honeycomb. This makes the bottom grill much easier.

NICE! Love the look. Hey could you post a up close of the mudguards, I wanna see if the will fit on the front of NY 4th Gen, the ones on there just don't get the job done. (All of the little rocks and dirt gets kicked up and messes up the cladding)

I just looked I don't have any, I'll get a couple tomorrow for you!
I doubt tho that they will fit as they are 5th gen oem.

Thanks Mike :hatsoff: yes sliders and skids are on my "short" list so expect them soon
Thanks Loco :thumb3: Not yet, I've been off road but have been alone so I don't like to put myself in a position to get in trouble. This weekend I'm heading up to New Hampshire for a trail run then the next I'm off to PA for a weekend at Rausch Creek so I'll push it a little harder then.

Finally got around to installing my Magnaflow muffler and aFe intake. Truck now sounds kinda ricey, was hoping for a little deeper sound, hopefully it will grow on me.
Pic of the intake, sorry forgot to get a pic of the muffler while it was still on the lift but it looks like a muffler hehe :wink2:
And ya I know...but I didn't have any black zip ties.
Had to relocate this little horn, it's the one you hear when your traction controll wigs out, it hides between the air box and inner fender wall. After all was done I had a CEL, the 4LO light flashing and traction controll light lit :wtf: Thought I pinched a wire under the box so pulled it out to find nothing :redbrick: Turns out the little horn had a crappy ground in it new locale, scraped of a little paint from the bracket and it all worked a treat

Finished up installing my BudBuilt sliders today, I've been driving around with just one during a two day rain delay.
I went with the partial tread plate bump-outs and I think they look great.
I did trim one of my rocker panels to fit with the sliders but was unimpressed with the look so I've removed both of them for now. I'm going to get the trail rockers, mud flaps and fender over moldings, will post pics when I get them installed.
Painted the bottom of the fender over molding black so it's not as noticeable that something is missing.

CB installed
So I've been using a hand held CB for wheeling trips and to say that the thing sucks would be an understatement. Even with the stubby mag mount antenna it came with the range is only 3/4 to maybe 1 mile, add some trees and a hill or two and...well it sucks worse. So time for a new one.
Got the Cobra 75 WXST, seems pretty popular with the offroad crowd and I haven't seem many complaints so the choice was easy.
Mounted a 4' Firestik II on the rear hatch using a Comet RS720 mount and a medium duty spring
Ran the wire up to the top of the hatch using plastic cable clips and stainless screws with a little silicon in each hole.
Fished the wire down the rear pillar then forward behind the interior panel and down into the rocker panel wiring trough. This is where I ran into a slight issue, I was short and was only at the right side kick panel. 18 feet doesn't go far these days :shrug: Thankfully Cobra makes a 4' mic extension for the 75 WXST so I ordered that but won't have it till next week. So I mounted the remote box behind the kick panel which made finding a power source quite easy and for now just have the mic slung over the steering column
When I get the extension I'll run it up under the dash and over to the console where i'll find a more permanent home for it so stay tuned for those pics:thumb3:
Tomorrow I'm off to the local CB guy to have him tune the antenna.
