Nice truck. Where did you mount the PA at? Do you have any pics of it with the headache rack installed? I get to start over again since i bought a new truck. My old one was similar to yours just with a grille guard and an 8 dollar paint job. Do you like the dual whips better than the 8ft? They look nicer and i assume that you get better reception.

I like the dual whips better BUT only if one is disconnected. These fiberglass whips need to be atleast 8ft apart to work properly, but I cant stand to have just one bc i like the look of duals so i just took of the splitter and just plugged the cb directly to one. The PA is sort of jury rigged bc i didnt think i would be keeping it for a long time, it is tied with a peice of elastic cord and a ziptie to a hole in the top of the passenger side fender (its embarassing) but its held for 2 years no problems so im not complaining.

Looks good but really your done. After 10 years with my truck I keep finding new things that I want to do with it all the time.

This is really everything that ive ever wanted in a truck, i like my trucks sort of simple, and i really cant think of anything else i want to do it, but ill always keep an open mind. I want to get another one and build that one too haha!

Grits54

You ever think about mounting a winch to the front of it. You have a nice looking truck and i am envious of your tires.

I guess I will be nerver done, always finding new ideas to burn down my wallet

greenheadkiller98

Ive thought about putting a winch on it, but that would mean i would also have to buy a bumper to put it on. I really dont think I would use it nearly enough to justify the cost of both. You should look into those tires man they are pretty cheap for MTs!

A chrome (or black like your wheels) bull bar would look mean on yours! Few on this forum decided to lift their 2WD Gen 10's, and I kept mine relatively stock, with LEDs everywhere. Only thing you haven't done is upgrade your seats - and there are plenty of Expedition buckets out there if need be. Looks like you've got all the other bases covered!

So a how long are your ball joints ect lasting with that set up? I want to do it to mine but don't want to replace them every couple thousand miles. Bitchin truck by the way!
