    I haven't thrown in pictures for a long time.

    Enjoy.

    Bumpers, suspension, exhaust, garage stuff. my Friend's Z in the back.

    I wish these wheels were mine.. but they're my friend's. Advan T6 18" with r-compounds. lovely!

    I did a C-notch a few days before I hauled some stuff.

    To let you understand some more... I have a 3" block in the rear and removed a middle leaf. That dropped it some. I had about an inch of travel. With my c-notch, i regained some of it back.

    And my custom catback..

    why hello battery. Btw, this is one badass energizer battery. I camped in my truck one night listening to music, next morning, started her right up.

    Looking good man! Kinda looks like familiar but I just can't put my finger on where I've seen it.

    Hey is that a 4Runner antennae?

    Thanks! The baby C-notch will need revision and clean up later on, but for now, it's doing perfect.
    Realistically, I think the next thing I will do is try to cut the front wheel wells and weld them higher. i want to run without the bumpstops up front. Hopefully soon.

    Thanks! Familiar? Where did you think you've seen it?

    That's just the original antennae missing the actual antenna that screws into it. It's actually inside my truck, kinda lazy. Might go chop it and weld the tip on soon. (I actually should do that right now!)

    I'm honestly scared, it's been barely 1 and a half years since i put my work into it? I'm doing things I've been told I couldn't.

    and I still owe you a c-notch huh?

    you mean the Jeep ones....


    eh, they were 15x7's, and they had 31" tires.

    1. I was hoping i'd get 2" up on my 14's.
    2. and then i'd have to find tires for the 15 inchers.

    16's would've satisfied me...

    No big deal, I'm happy with the effin Steelies for now...

    rock some cheap tires man lol

    Usually a clean 5 or 6 spoke design is the easiest and cleanest way to go.
    I say look for some 16's. Those should look good and not cost a bank account to find tires for. :waytogo:
