The old man crap was the side step and the fender caps. As for the fenders I had to buy 7" and the fronts sat stock and rear raised up. The first front one I did was the passenger side. It took 2 1/2 hrs to get all the inner fender cut out and shaped into place. The driver side took 25-30 min. I still have a little left and to find the right trim I want for the hood cut. I could probably do one in a 1 to 1 1/2 days now..

Yeah I was going to take a bunch of different ones as well~ It is actually pretty easy once you get going. I paid nothing for all the the brackets. I still want to cut the fenders theat wrap inside below the lights to make it look more clean. I'll post up some when done.

The family and I went to Kevs saturday night and I used his hispeed internet to post.. Right now I am driving with the sx's on and it looks a little funny with just the 35" on. The brand new irok in the rear blew out on me and I had to have kev bring me two of the sx's to beaverton on Sat so I could drive home. Thanks again Kev..

A patch is out of the question. it was the size of a softball and the bead is all messed up. I have the paper work from the guy I bought them through, I just need to find it. I still need to find at least a 37" spare for the oregon wheeling trip.

I still need to find at least a 37" spare for the oregon wheeling trip. about a mounth ago I was at a tire shop think it is named tire kingdom it is at the end of 99 where i meats i5 at a 76 gas station, he had a single 37" irok there that looked to have decent tread and was marked at 100 dollars but you can wheel and deal with them, Not sure it is still there just thought I would let you know.
