Hey Everyone!
After posting all over the forums asking for recommendations and advice regarding making modifications to my truck, I have come to the conclusion (in hindsight) that I should have started a build thread. So this is our build so far, I will continue to update it as things go along, so far this is what we have. Any advice/comment is welcome btw, this is an ever changing build :)
Also thanks to everyone that commented on my other 9 million posts asking stupid questions, you've all helped me make it this far!
