    Really well done. How hard to find parts at this point?

    Difficult. It's really just time consuming and isn't something that can be done overnight. You have to manage Ebay and Craig's List really frequently, make a lot of calls, go check out parts, haggle, etc. But, like most men, that's part of the fun. It's like a treasure hunt. There are definitely a few pieces that can be really frustrating to find though. Right now I am stuck with finding a center console lid (for example).

    Yea like I said before Jordan did a real good job on your truck. I gotta ask him where he got his front light covers because I can't find those anywhere.
    I took a bunch of pics yesterday but for some reason my tower isn't reconizing my sd card but I snapped this pic with my iphone.
    I just have to put the light bar back in, run the wires and install the new carpet.
    Would like to get those seat covers but damn near impossible to find them in good shape.
    Then I'll get the 20% tint done sometime soon.

    It's kind of annoying but I wont be able to install the front splitter bc the original owner welded on the tow bar in the front. It kinda gives it that "somethings missing" look up front.

    Can you use a plasma torch and trim it off? I think it would look funny without that splitter. Looks like its coming together really nicely, great job.

    I could but I already welded on brackets to the bumper where it meets up with the tow bar. The bumper was off a older yota so the factory brackets didn't match up to my truck.
    was looking at another truck today and I might be able to get a front splitter to fit.

    I got the light bar in today. Ran the wiring and installed the carpet. I'm going to be doing the door panels tomorrow. I don't like seat covers but until I can find the right ones I gotta stick with them.

    Man, truck looks amazing!! If parts weren't such a bear, I could always use another 4x4 to tool around with.
