you bringing that monster to KW? :drink:

It will be staying @ home because we are flying down this year. One stop and we are in KW. It's hard to beat.

Here are some updates pics though. All we have left to do is install the power inverter and run the lines to the cab and bed for the plugs and install the water pump for the tank in the bed. Other than that it's finished. I'll post some detailed pics of everything when we get that done, which will probably happen when we get home from KW.

Oh yea, we have one more thing to do as well. The step areas of the rear bumper will be Rhino Lined on Tuesday.

It's amazing how this truck just eats up the 37" tires. They don't look really big on this one like they do on some other trucks. The top of the front fenders are right at eye level, but the size of the truck makes it look like it is not that tall when you are standing away from it. I like it because people don't realize how big the truck is until they get right up to it.

I took a picture of the fender emblem because we painted the vent part to match the vents in the hood and the factory grill. The factory fender vents were red, but we made them black. It's all in the details.

Here is a link to a video that shows the lighting we added. Other than the lights in the front and rear bumpers, we also added amber running lights to the steps and some LEDs in the bed. The lights on the steps are the same LEDs that are in the rear dually fenders, only with smoked lenses so they disappear against the black background when they are off. The lights in the bed are just white LEDs that came as a kit from Recon.

In case you are really looking, the lights under the front bumper are not installed in the pictures above. We just installed them today. Also, the link to the video may not work until tomorrow because it sometimes takes a while for the videos to be available for viewing on Putfile.

Awesome project, all the way around...:cool:How does it ride with those tires. I know you will hear more road noise, but, any more vibration at 70 mph. Thanks Jeff
