Then came a torsion bar crank (2.5")

Then painted the stock chrome mirror caps black

Added an AAL (2.5")

Tonneau cover (went on and off all the time)

Took the side steps off

Made some duals..

Had some stereo equipment for a few months


Bought some 265 AT's

Painted a few things on the truck to make it look better (snap frame, between tailgate and bumper, rear-end to get the rusty look out)

The hitch was actually really easy to mount. Put it behing the front cross member (had to take the tow hooks out though :( I just cut it to size, drilled 2 holes to match with the tow hook holes, and put it Grade 8 bolts. So when I pull something, the frame is holding the hitch from going anywhere.
Thanks Logan, I appreciate it!
Spilly - Planning on a BL, getting the rims powder coated for winter use, and new rims for summer (15" this time).
Paseries - It's planned!

Here are some sketchy shots of how my winch mount is


Also decided to repaint my rims and mirror caps
Rims before, black but beat to hell because of the trip to rausch creek, and I took the weights off

Now, painted them to match as close as possible to the two tone, gotta get a good pic to show the color

Mirror caps, they were just primered before

How it looks now



Also decided to paint my drums and calipers black

Got the fuel filter changed and rear brakes serviced at work today (Ford) since I just hit 60,000km. Paid 20$ for the filter, and gave my buddy 40$ to teach me how to do it all. Pretty darn simple if you ask me lol
Next up is tranny flush (either full flush or fluid and filter change), as well as flushing the front and rear diffs, but before that is front rotors and pads.... So no mods or a little while... Oh ya, need a new filter for the intake

Are you planning to get your wheels rebalanced? Because it looks like you took your weights off and it cant be good to be driving around with unbalanced wheels. You can get weights that instead of clipping onto the rim of each side, they stick onto the inner wall of the wheel so they don't show at all.
