Been daily driving and building this truck slowly over the last couple years. I'm copying and pasting the entire build from another forum, so bear with me on some of the details/pics
Original Plans (4/2/14)
James Duff kit in front
Shackle lift & James Duff shocks in the rear
Swap to manual hubs
Locker up front
15" Outlaw 2's
33x10.50's
Sliders
New front bumper/grille
Ski rack delete
Side molding delete
Tint windows
That's about it for now, going to keep it simple and start doing some 4x4 stuff.
James Duff kit
Thanks guy's, give a couple weeks and this thing will do a 180!
James Duff blue just wasn't doing it for me
Picked up the Outlaw 2's
Before
Mid way to being done. Punched out all the rivets
Searched for a bit to find an interior this clean
Wheels done (on throw away tires)
Started to pull off the side molding. I've done this a few times and I know it's better to stop before your fingers blister! So a bit of progress on that.
So the front end is almost completely torn down. Pic is a day old, both coil buckets & radius arms are off now. Couple more things and some clean up & I'm off and running. Been splitting time between working & being a Dad!
Also finally gave in & bought myself a brand new set of 32x11.50 Falken Wildpeaks. They will be mounted up tomorrow.
Stoked on these Falkens. Gotta get this ***** out of my garage! Just lacking time is all.
Rolled her out of the garage tonight. Just need to tie up a few loose ends here and there & it's pretty much done.
Truck is riding nice & smooth with the new tires. Ride height is low, the truck is really a sleeper, you would never guess there are dual shocks, and radius arms with 1.25" heims under it.

I've been working it with acetone and a heat gun, burning my thumbs down!
