I used it to straighten the radiator support forward.. Until I take the rig to the body shop so they can fix the frame end cap.. I can't wait for this so I can put on my ARB.

Updates!!

Well I took the Depos and had originally bought and HID kit from Ebay. Installed it and the light output just sucked. So I bit the bullet and order a retrofit kit from theretrofitsource.com I ordered the FX/R 2.5 Projector kit with E46 Shrouds. Light output is insane, I still havent been able to aim the lights yet. I also plastidipped my entire front grille. Here are the pictures.

While I am waiting on some parts to come in for the PS Pump, I went ahead and changed all my TRE and driveway aligned the truck.

Well I got tired of working on the PS system and wanted to get a second look, so I took to a shop here in town. PS is hard at idle and when under rpms it works. Waiting to hear back on the shops findings.

I am liking the stance of my truck!!! Cant wait to get in on the road.

Thanks alot Tim!! I really wish I could have gone up with you guys.. Next trip count me in!! Saw the pics looked like you had a blast.. I am SO ready to get this rig out and wheeling
 
Well its been a few weeks since I update my thread. I added some engine bling..

 
I also needed to get my AC recharged, and well in Florida AC is a must. I had originally opted in putting up the drier in the battery box but it was difficult to do the conversion as I was on a time constraint. So I put it back in its original location. It was time for my AC to work after the installation of a complete AC overhaul. new OEM Denso Air Compressor, new OEM drier, and new OEM expansion valve. Here is a picture of the expansion valve change. It was a quick job. Thanks to a thread here on mud.



 
Well I finally received the front frame horns from CruiserYard!! This week the rig is at a local body shop getting the new frame horn welded on and as well as doing some minor paint work on the DS front fender and flare.

 
Isn't the VIN on that section of the frame?

It is, but I ordered the both sets of frame horns and a little past the crossmember just incase the body guys needed something more. They arent touching the PS frame for anything, they just cut DS horn up to the crossmember. So the VIN is intact.
