This thread will be documenting my truck's progression over time.

This is the truck when I first got it. It had a spotlight on the roof and an inverter under the seat in the cab.

I bought a PA 3" body lift

I'll redo all of it later tonight

My 3" body lift is almost complete. After that I plan on finding a cap for the bed. Testing and maybe replacing the alternator. I'm looking to have a pretty well built off road rig so if anybody wants to make suggestions on what I should add that would be great.

Lockers, they will make the biggest difference offroad.

Removing your anti sway bars will make a huge difference too. And it's easy and free!

I haven't done much to the truck recently. I've been cleaning and lighting my garage and getting it set up for the truck. I should be posting more to this thread soon.

The back is lifted. I just need to slide to blocks under the cab and put the whole thing back together.
