Well I finally got a chance to put some lights, amsteel, and leveling kit in.

I ordered a bumper to replace the one I wrecked. Mounted the lights in the cutouts, but they were cut off center so the rock guards won't fit. Then the fact there is 3 tabs across the top. And I now have a hybrid Warn M12000/16.5Ti cause the opening were cut wrong too.

I also got a chance to trow on a Kore leveling kit. So I got to work on my truck for a solid 10hrs today :awesomework: I just need to finish the under the hood wiring tomorrow. Ran all of the wires just need to clean them up and wrap them.

Yeah, the bumper is Throttle Down Kustoms (TKD) Jeremy is great to work with. I couldn't afford a full lift with paying over $5 a gallon for diesel so I had to go leveling kit.

If ya dont mind....How much was the bumper?

now I gotta try and remember something. I think the base bumper with the pre-runner hoop was $1200
+$150 for a winch mount
+$75 for the light cutouts
+$75 for powder coating
+$300 Shipping to Port Angeles, WA

So it came out to within $40 of the OEM Dodge Bumper.

I'm gonna try and pick up some bigger tire tomorrow. Heading to seattle and gonna try to get 4WheelParts to price match a set of XD Rockstar wheels with Toyo Tires. We'll see if they want to sell them.
 
So on friday i get on the Edmonds to Kingston ferry. The wife and i are meeting some friends at Tahuya for a fun riding/camping weekend. We thought we'd take the ferry over then head south instead of dealing with traffic all the way down I-5. Anyways, We pull up onto the left side of the ferry, get parked, kill the motor, and get out to go upstaires. As i walk around the back of my truck i notice a sweet looking dodge right behind me. I think to myself "damn, that thing looks familiar". Well, it didn't take long to figure out where i recognized that truck.
Josh, it was good to meet you. Thanks again, for giving us a heads up on drive time to Tahuya. That bumper looks great, and good choice with the rim/tire combo. and for all you other nonbelievers heres a pic. just a quick snapshot right over the cab.
