I am waiting on some Pro Comp wheels, Rancho 5000's for all four conrners, and some Hella 500 lights to mount on a bull bar I am eventually going to order. Ordered everything from 4 Wheel Parts. Once I get everything the next step will be to go get tires mounted on the rims (31s), install my shackles, and probably do quite a bit of fender trimming. Can't wait!

tis similar here for buying a used vehicle - except you also need a valid E-Test to get plates or stickers for them - insurance however will insure anything it seems, most places want pics too tho.

Blacked out my grille and painted a nice fire-engine red pinstripe around the bowtie. Pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/39954832@N08/5391794817/http://www.flickr.com/photos/39954832@N08/5391794817/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/39954832@N08/, on Flickr

yeah, i'm thinkin' about taking the black all the way around the truck or at least on the sides, between the body indent line and the black cladding. that part would be gloss black though. Might just black out the bumpers (or replace them with fabbed powdercoated tube bumpers) too. today though, it's black taillight trim and mirrors. here's hoping the paint sticks to the mirrors, hehe.
