Ianyboy build thread

Here is my build-up for my 2011, Sport 4x4. From may 2011, to today!
It is a Sport 4x4, with all equipment and accesories of the FX4, including the 4.10 differentials

When I bought the truck, may 2011, brand spanking new:


After this, I got my DDIN Alpine INA-W900, in dash GPS radio.

After my break-in period, mid-summer 2011, got my 1.5'' spacers on it:



Truck stayed as is till summer 2012, where i got my old 31s:


Winter 2012-2013, the fun begins (I got a pay raise :P, it helped)
Got my 2.5 Inch suspension lift:


Got the 3in bodylift:


Summer 2013 gets to us.
Painted the fender flares, emblems in flat black:


Got the custom fab front bumper:



Got the muffler cut off of the truck:


Installed my hilift jack on the tailgate:


Winter 2013-2014:
Mounted my CB and it's 102in antenna: (its in the bootom left corner)



Got my cluster face painted in silver:



I'll now on give y'all regular updates as to what happens to the truck

Thanks, my buddy got a modification idea for the high-lift. As of now, i got to studs on the tailgate when the jack aint there. we are going to modify, so only the nuts will be welded to the tailgate.

Ill post up pics of the process

I see I have not updated this since the tires! Well, where to start?!
Got an ugly @$$ camper shell for the baby stuff, soon will be painted black;


I smoked the red part of the tail lights, and the front corners, using some plasti-dip;


Built a beefier TC skid plate;


Went to a local U-Pull for a buddies '94 ranger, ended up finding myself a couple of goodies. An Expo OHC, and a lower console with 2 cup holders out of an Edge Ranger;



And, lastly, this past W-E, relocated my CB radio to top dash;

For the price I got it at (free) could not ask to get better. These thing around where are live, people seem to think they are made of gold. Saw one, had no windows (all broken) and the dude was still trying to get 300$
