Ha ha i actually love reading people's out-and-about fixes and trail repairs! Besides, this build might already include the best associated trail repair engine cave dweller pics!

I think most of us that enjoy working on our trucks all look to the same obvious in-field fixes but i like when this stuff's integrated in a build cause i think maybe it'll make me more likely to remember it?

Hoping to see Whiskey Lima in the dez soon!

Wow! White Lightening is really looking bitchen Mike. Haven't seen it since Baja '11. Man has it come a long way.

Badass!!! Love that picture showing the front tire with the Autofab glass.

Yes 37s

Philo gave me the idea. I needed a better cruising speed on the freeway.

Don't blame the idea on me.

Are those the funky metric ones like I have? 320/85/15 or whatever.

No they are standard size 37's

That looks KICK BUTT!!!! How is the carpet Mike? Did it fit well? I still toy with the idea of ordering new rugs for the princess all around... but worry about the quality of the aftermarket kits... what was your thought on it?

Doesn't fit that well honestly, BUT it's better then the oil stained blue carpet that was in there before. I used some self tapping sheet metal screws to help hold it in place where it was needed.

Hey Mikey... Wow, White Lightning is really coming along... it was a kick a$$ truck when Chris had it... couldn't stop it... now you've just continued to improve on it... well done Amigo... the shifter looks great and very functional! I love that truck!
