well just bash my entire build in one post. I haven't been able to get new tires because I'm planning on changing my front axle and I don't know what that will do to bolt patterns and I'm just waiting. I'm sorry that my light rack isn't par to your greatness. You are just like all the rest of these guys. Just a bunch of stuck up pricks always bashing. My truck isn't nearly done and nothing is set right now. Like the black paint job I have planned on changing that to blue or even doing a glossy black, I hated the red and all I could afford was this cheap flat black paint. My dad and I painted it ourselves in my front yard. I'm sorry that I can't match the legendary Mac but news flash I'm not building this truck for you.

You have done a lot of good work on your truck, a lot of stuff that half the people on this forum wouldn't even attempt. So ignore anyone who talks shit because you do have a bad ass truck.

Werd. I like it. Sure I'd do a few things different if I had the time but I don't get the point of "pretty" offroad trucks. If you are gonna be wheeling hard you are gonna scratch the paint and probably put dents in it anyway. Besides like you said its not done yet and you are learning. Also props for building shit yourself. Solid effort even if its not everyone's cup of tea.

also, diamond plate skid plate looks good to me, tires seem to small in the front but thats only cuz of the fenders. if you look at the back they look perfectly on point, paint looks great for what was used (im to scared to paint my own truck), only thing that i agree with is the light rack is huge but as you said its your 2nd fab job. ik for a fact i couldnt do that well if i was to try right now!

ya the tires in the front look real small probably because they are only 31s and the fiberglass makes it look REALLY small. But the back looks normal. And the light rack is huge but hey hahaha it's my first thing I fabbed that goes on my truck. Learning curve is pretty steep for welding lol. Thanks again bro.

Hey have you thought of pulling the bed sides to go with the glass. I have glass on the front of my truck and the bed sides pulled and it looks really good. Keeps the flow of the body going with the glass you got.

I was planning on buying bedsides but I would love to pull them for now. What is the easy way?

Haha no problem, it's good to be able to help someone else out. Pretty easy process of pulling the sides. Best to have a helping hand around. Ha I gotta go watch that video now, those guys are funny.
