someone talk me out of these flares... The wife green lighted them. So that throws many questions in to my mind. What did she buy? Is she f'ing with me? Am I dying? Does she think they'll look stupid and simply wants people to laugh at me? hmmm so many possibilities..




I like the fact that they attach to the fender so there's no vibration and no rubbing on the paint. Definitely interesting.
I can help tell you out- if she green lighted those for $650 then she shouldn’t have an issue with some fiberwerx fenders for $550
Would look much cleaner IMO than the bolt on flares

Yeah there is that. But add a bit for paint. Then I need bedsides... and paint... I was originally looking at advancedfiberglass.

Hit 90K miles this week.


Added an 8 gang AuxBeam switch panel (ar-800). I wanted my amber light pods for the rear to finally be wired. I had a choice to wire three switches, and relays for all the functions or I could go this way. I still have to finish the Hellas as well witch would require and additional two switches and relays. I really don't wan to add more switches to the interior.. In the end I figured the switch panel was the way to go. I can't justify the cost of a real switch panel so this was a second choice. Can't complain at $250.

Almost to the point of getting the black headlights. The wife has them on the list for Cinco De Mayo. It is El Hefe Grande's birthday after all. :)

They were for the Hellas when they were on the bumper. Right now the rear one operates the Rigid floods in the bumper. The forward one is nothing now.

Disconnect the front sway bar. You’ll get a good bit more flex. I don’t run my front bar anymore. I leave the rear bar connected and the front bar has been removed from my truck.

Yeah we didnt have time today. We talked about it. But by the time I was done laying sod in the front yard my neighbor was short on time to split and meet his wife a the dealership.

Oddly enough the passenger front was the tire spinning. Had we put more thought in to safety I may have tried to go further as it was but... It was just a 10ft 8x8 resting on a stack of other 8x8's.
