Something isn't right here....it's soooooo........SHINY, that's it.

Looks awesome and really clean man, I'd be proud to drive that rig any day.

Got to change out the gears to 4.56 or 4.88 (havent desided yet) and add a detroit in the 14bolt. Then Deside if I should put in a better Transfercase in because I got to get new shafts made up anyways and I only want to do it once. Eventually I will get a Dana 60 when I fined one and build it up.

She does have some rust though. I got most of it off by trimming the fenders up front and removing the bed. I also took a grider with a wire wheel on it and cleaned it up underneath However the rockers got to go and theres some rust above the rear tires. Looking to build some rockers out of square tubing, fix up the other rust spots and CAMO it. No sure how camo will look with all the new shinny aluminum though

I suggest you upgrade your transfercase now because that 208 wont last forever and its better to change out a weak link while you can. Also I think you should go with the 4.88 gears because the 4.56 might not be enough, I have 4.56 with 35'' tires and still would rather have 4.88's.

sounds pretty awesome, the pics are a little dark but from what i can see it looks pretty awesome too. If you have time could you maybe post up some brighter pics please. Thanks

Not all that great, but it shows the truck a little better.
