I'm thinking, lower the perimeter of the bed 2" or so & the fenders/steps 1" or so more, maybe not all from one place. Can you try that on the "Chop-Shop"? Just a thought, Lorne

I lightened the pic up some. Been playing with photoshop. Still got a long way to go.

Are the wheels rubbing on the fenders ??  ;D

I went to help a friend work on his s-10 4 banger today and as I was leaving I decided to smoke up the place. I always tell him he needs a v-8 so I showed him what he was missing. He shot a video with his phone and I thought I would share it. It is a cell phone video so the picture and sound quality suck, so I apologize for that. I need to shoot a good one with the video camera.

A friend of mine is junking one of his old trucks. So I went and checked it out and got all of the headliner trim,kickpanels, and swaybar off of it. I am pretty excited about it, I cant wait to get it all on. I have final test this week so maybe the first of next week.

Hey guys not much to report here but I got my sway bar on last week and I finally got to test it out today(it finally quit raining). I didnt know what I was missing, it made a huge difference in how the truck handles. I am very pleased ;D I dont have any pics, I figured all you guys know what a sway bar looks like  :P

Nice to hear you enjoyed the difference.  I'm wanting to pick up the Belltech kits for my truck, just been neglecting it a little lately.

Hey guys, whats going on? I done a mod on my truck that alot of people think is kinda pointless, but I think it is cool. I got my front bumper tucked in like my rear bumper. I move it in a little over an inch. It was not near as hard as I thought it would be. Now I just need to get both bumpers narrowed, bolt heads shaved and rechromed. Then I will have the bumpers the way I want them. Here are a few pics of it. Sorry I dont have any before pics.

Your getting there man.When other say its pointless they dont understand to much about the art of trying to make something looks good to look better. I hear ya on the rain thing our street is under water.I had to take my 01 ram to work yesterday and thank God i did.The water was up to my fog lights in the bumper and i got 33s on the truck.1 person`s caravan was stuck in the middle of the road but luckily i got around.But keep up the good work, i need to get going on mine again as i`m working on the doors now..

thanks

I think that the smallest changes make the biggest differences.
