    Bored...

    I've usually had to have a 3/4 ton truck pull me out. I got my old 2wd stuck so bad once in snow, the expy couldn't even get to it, had to bring in a F350 to have enough clearance. Just make sure not to hit an entire mile of closed road that is one continuous snow drift and you will be ok lol...

    these darn lifted expeditions!

    I worked with a few mexicans in construction. They speak good english, but when they were together, they would all speak spanish, I took spanish in school, so I can understand a bit of what they would talk about, but it would be funny when they are talking in spanish and then say one of the...

    Body lift on the way!!

    YUP!! That's what I figured. The picture from the back is really goofy lol, definitely need some wider tires. I figure, that with my new suspension and tires and being done with school next spring, everything will last plenty long, and when the tires go, I will actually have money, and be able...

    Bored...

    Good pics! From what I've noticed about getting stuck, is it always requires a bigger vehicle to pull me out, but I've had no problem pulling out "stuck" jeeps or 3/4 ton chevy's . . .

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    I actually got a comment on it from a buddy tonight who thought they look great compared to his truck with the stock green. Its an easy project to do. Its only about $25 for the bulbs online and then a $5 solder gun with some solder. Don't be scared to try it, this was the first time I soldered...

    Body lift on the way!!

    I agree, I would like to go with a body lift when I do my spacers and TT, but I think it will look goofy with my 265 tires that are pretty new.

    Whats best for moderated mudding?

    I usually drive around in A4wd until I start spinning, and put it in 4 hi if I know I'm going to need it, or when I start slipping a lot. I wouldn't recommend using 4 low, unless you are in a situation where you need some more power, like climbing a steep hill, or you are bogging down really...

    Edge CS Programmer Questions

    I'm looking at getting an Edge this summer. I know its nothing like a diesel programmer, but from the hp gain, will it be enough to help with downshifting on smaller hills. I am also wanting to get rid of my rear cats. The reason I'm asking is there is a lot of change in elevation here in...

    Straight pipe, no muffler?

    Same here! I think there would be more than a few very angry people if that were the case in Wyoming.

    CB Antennas

    I'm not looking to go huge, so I think 4 footers should work good. I think I'll try to stay away from springs since if anything, I'll probably only ever hit some branches or something, but don't want them to fling back and beat the hell out of my truck. But I guess I can just see how flexible...

    CB Antennas

    I already have my antennas mounted, but want longer antennas for better reception. For width, I have one antenna on each side of the rear door. Will this be sufficient distance. I priced it out to buy 2 of those antennas, and with shipping, it would be like $33. I will have to check the current...

    CB Antennas

    I'm looking to get some new antennas soon, but I know nothing about what ones work the best. I found these on ebay, and they are pretty cheap. http://cgi.ebay.com/Firestik-FL4-B-4-Back-Tunable-Lightweigt-CB-Antenna-/360327728933?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item53e534cf25#shId Will this...

    grill paint?

    A buddy of mine did this on his F150 with black paint. I don't think he roughed it up enough though, and it eventually started to chip off and the chrome showed through. But by preparing it properly and a good paint, it would probably work well.

    Snow and Exhaust

    I've learned to get good with a shovel lol. There aren't really many spots around here that you will get stuck in other than if you fall through a snow drift. There are a few really good mud holes that are not suppose to be there, but have been blocked off by the forest service :) I try to find...

    Snow and Exhaust

    There aren't too many big hills around here, but there is one I found. I made it up in high, but was barely moving when I got to the top, all the stuff on my dash fell off when I went up it. I want to try it in low and see how much of a difference it makes. I'll be working up by the Bighorn...

    Pics of my new grille and the damage done to the surrounding

    Sorry to hear about the damage, one of those live and learn things, at least you know how to replace your grill now :D The grill looks awesome! I think I will go black if I ever get a billet one, and I can't remember if I've told you before, but I love your wheels. I'm usually not a fan of...

    Straight pipe, no muffler?

    Here is a video of mine. I have the stock 4 cats on with a Y and dual 2 1/4 inch pipes with 3 1/2 inch tips that exit at 45s from each corner. It has a great idle, and really loud and throaty when you get on it, and as long as you are listening to some tunes while driving down the highway...

    Steering Wheel LED Swap, almost complete

    Hey guys, I've been working on converting my steering wheel lights to blue LED. I've got it all assembled, but still have a few problems. I'll start by showing how to do the parts of the steps, and maybe someone can correct me to figure out my problem. 1. Disconnect battery. 2. There are 2...

    How to do Door Switch LED Swap with pics

    I gave up on the steering wheel to make some more progress. I completed all of my front door switches. Since I don't like the glow from the outside of the switches, I couldn't think of anything for now, so I did a few layers of electrical tape around the buttons and trimmed them down so you...

    Snow and Exhaust

    Thanks guys, here is another video from last week. Sorry about the bad camera angle, I was by myself, so I just set the camera on a rock. It doesn't look very steep, but it was a little steep to crawl up onto the hill, and it was a mud hole at the bottom. I have pictures of it in my album...

    Exhaust and Offroading

    Nice videos, mine is the same way, I love listening to the exhaust in town, and have the radio up when on the highway, its a good excuse to not have those conversations when riding with the lady, well. . . or she just talks louder.

    Tired of That old factory grill...

    Completely agree with you guys, especially being a broke college kid. Its not only cheaper, but nobody else has the exact same thing, and I appreciate it more after I'm done, instead of some guy just paying lots of money and throwing it on.

    Lift options?

    I have always wondered how much extra wear it puts on all of the suspension, and I'm sure its more than when set at factory, but lots of people on here have it. I'm not sure of other options than getting a lift kit, you would have to talk to the people that already have lifts, and see what they...
