Remember, my rig came straight from the junk yard... anything is possible.

Kit plus tax & shipping = $3957
Fox 2.5x8 coilovers & 2.5x12 reservoirs = $1250
Fox 2.0x3 hydrolic bumpstops = $300 (still waiting on)
Custom designed (by me) Fiberwerx fenders & bedsides = $850
Professional Four Wheel Direct install = $525

To come: 35's, custom bumpers & skid plate, race dash with quick shift, roll cage, bed cage & coilevers, linked rear, V8... oh my oh my, what the hell have I gotten myself into, LMFAO!!!

OMG SEX!!!! Love it man!

I'd say grab some bed liner and mask off the engine area and bed line the inner fender area... That'll really clean that up!

Grab some rattle can bed liner... It's like $10 a can, but worth it... I keep it with me in case I scrape paint or powder coat off things to keep it from rusting...

It'll look schweet in there too!

I am installing the bedsides tomorrow. It is going to be after I get off work and will probably become an all night event. I will post the pics on Saturday.
