is it just me, or are the fenders black.

BTW! I think that is record time for someone putting glass fenders on, and getting them painted!

lol thanks Shane.. i think

And yeah Tim I still need to open the rear shocks and make the compression softer and the rebound quicker, and remove the bleed screws. should be way better after that. I also need to cut some inner fender to make room for stuffing the 35's up front. It rubbed just a little on big hits with the body lift in, so I got 3"+ to cut out and move a few things.

Andy....it's not often that I wanna fondle someone elses truck.... you should feel honored.








And I'm too lazy to go through the thread to find out but....



I noticed you've got CV cups holding the bearings together, but no CV's. Is there an axle up there? Are you planning on putting an operating 4wd system back in the truck? I suspect the axle is pulled because the rear is geared and you got a smokin' deal on it and just haven't forked the cash to gear the front axle and toss in the longer CV's yet.

Awesome I do then. fondle away!

Yeah i've got the axles I just couldnt get the gears for the front in before I went to the dunes. The best part is those cups are jus the old axles I chopped the shaft off of and threw them in, it was the only thing I could do at the time hah. The axle is still in it but I'll drop it soon once the weather gets crappy. I think I'm going to throw an aussie in it when I put the 4.88's in. I've always wanted the front locked and that would get me lots more offroad use other than the go fast jumping.
