Here it is with the Lift and 18x9s with 325/60/18s all installed.

Still have to trim the running board brackets off. Maine weather was not kind to the bolts.

I think I am going to redo the Pod's in the fog light location they work great, But I want them to blend in a bit more. Im going to recess them in.

I have some plan's for modify the Hideous Ebay grill that came on the truck. Perhaps this weekend.

That grill is horrible. I think I'd hit up a local junkyard and get a stock one.

How did you do the lift? I'm assuming torsion twist in the front. Coil spacers in the rear?

With the awning you mentioned, what do you do with this rig? 4wheeling/camping?

Yes Northern Maine has what is called the NMW "Northern Maine Woods" You have to pay to get in. But it gives you access to MILLIONS of acres of land Dirt Roads, Closed Logging roads etc.. Its very vast. CB/Ham Radio is the only communication, Cell phones have NO Signal. And most radio stations wont even get to you A lot of the times its just a Canadian station. So streaming music from your phone is the best source. CD's will skip, A lot of roads are washboard. Trailer/logging trucks have the right of way they built the roads they control/maintain it and will PUSH you out of the way, The Awning is for when I go out by my self or my son and I.

My awning is home built Here it is on my old Xterra-

Or his build thread on the awning I copied here
How to build a quality awning for less than $100 - Expedition Portal

I have about $40 invested.


It is mostly Used for a tow rig hauling our 2014 Skyline Skycat Bunk 24ft TT.

As far as the grill I hate it. Im not worried about getting another one. In a week or 2 Ill post up the modified Grill. If I dont like my modified one, Ill purchase a JY One.
