Default Progress!!! 56k coffee break...

It was a nasty day out, but I was off and since I never have time to myself, I sat out in the rain/cold and swapped my new Gibbs 20s on along with my new grille surround and billet insert. Next on the list is painting the front bumper cover (I picked up a smooth one already) and rear bumper to match the truck. Sory it's not clean for the pics, but hell, at least teh work is done.







Here is the day I picked it up in July, just for reference...



Just so you know it doesn't get babied, it's still a work truck...

285/50R20 thanks to everybody here. I have shackles in the mail too, so I know the redneck rake is there.

Looks great! Isn't it amazing what colormatched handles, chrome grill, and wheels will do

If you'll look in the first and second pics, I have a lowered truck already, my S10 has a 3/3 drop and I love it. This one tows, hauls, and goes in the muck WAY too much to be lowered. I have property up in the mountains that is only accessable from forestry roads, so I need something that can get through that. If I could sell my 72 Cheyenne I'd get another Jeep, but aparently well optioned, rust free, southern classic trucks aren't hard to come by anymore.

Yep, that was me. I love them, they would have looked good on my truck, but I got a bonus check that month that burned a hole in my pocket.

Sidenote, I noticed you were looking for centercaps a while ago, was there soemthing wrong with the ones I sent you?
