Its looking really good! What questions do you have about installing the skyjacker leafsprings? i just got done doing that on my '08 and I love them, the ride is so much better. i have the Duff traction bars too and i am really impressed with them as well.

 

Truck is looking great!!

 

truck looks good I want to do the skyjacker springs too. I dont like the idea of having double blocks right now.

 

DO it!!! You wont be disappointed, its worth the $450 for those things! IMO, these springs are the best thing you can do to the rear suspension of these trucks

 

From what 08XLT4x4 says it's worth the buy! I plan on putting a tow hitch on my truck so if I decide to tow something I want to make sure my rear end is not going to fall apart. That's why I am going to build it up with all these parts.

 

Thats my plan as well, next summer though. I should have my 33s on here shortly!

 

Well cleaned the truck as well as polished the wheels today! Got a new part in today which was the Weather tech In Channel window visors! They look great and will come in handy this winter. I will get picks tomorrow.

Waiting for some more stuff in the mail:
06+ Ranger Badges

And Alon's trusty little Antenna Mod!
It wasn't that expensive either and they are going to upgrade the mosfet peak and tune it out. Ill show you how I'm going to mount it in the next few days!

 

Sounds a lot like the same features that my Cobra 29 NX WX ST has, cool little toy. Get pics up of the visors, I want some put I don't really like the ones that just stick on the windows.

 

truck looks great man. nice transformation

 

Okie Dokie Gents I got some shot's of those In-Channel Window Visors from Weather Tech. There is no 3M tape to mess with since it goes from the back top edge to the bottom of the window where the mirror is. They hold is place very well and will work good this winter. I have two parts of my CB package in and just waiting for the CB radio itself since I had them Peek and Tune the radio.

18ft FireFlex coax cable

 

Nice man, do you have a link where you got those visors? How much were they? I need to get a new antenna this little 30" mag mount I have just doesn't cut it.

 

Here's the link for where I got the Window Visors. They have alot of Information for a lot of their products. I'm going to get their floor mats this year as well before the winter. Very high quality products. My friend has a set in his Dodge Ram 4 door and they hold a lot of mud snow water and you can just rinse them off. Very deep mats as well. The bottom one is where I bought all of my radio equipment they have a lot of products and they are knowledgeable of what they do and have.

55 isn't bad at all, found another birthday present haha. I have a super nice Cobra 29 thats fully loaded, I need to get it peaked and tuned though.

 

Jordan, lets see that CB install!

 

Ok here are some pics because you asked. Well I had the CB installed were the vents used to be and decided I didn't Like it because well the CB is freakin huge. lol Anyways I'm in the process of putting it in my center console and havnt finished yet. I got it to sit just right were its at but I have no idea how to bolt it down. It's pretty snug just sitting there but I will figure it out. I'm going to make a panel or block off plate out of carbon fiber to make it look pretty and cover the hole. It will then match the STX Radio Bezel I will get later down the road. On to the pics now
