Today is the official 2nd birthday of Manny aka Big Daddy. Sorry that he hasn't had a bath but it's rained all day. It's also a bit hard to take a full shot in my driveway so here are a few pics of the 7" BDS kit with 18" XD Rockstars wrapped in 325/65/18 Nitto TerraGrapplers. Happy I didn't go 37s cuz these are more than big enough for my liking. I'll take nicer shots when weather is permitting and things can be cleaned up.
Special thanks to all the members that helped me by answering tons of questions, researched with me, and offered advice. Enjoy....

Looks good. But I don't know what you mean by it needs a wash. The thing looks clean already.

and you should change that bull bar out for a prerunner bar and throw some lights on there. It'll make it look that much sweeter.
and try not to run over that cane when you pull out of your driveway.

Thanks Gabe and Daniel! It's filthy dirty - silver just doesn't show it much. ;-) They weren't sure they could fit it through the carwash at the dealership after I got the oil changed this afternoon.

Thanks guys.....I'm so ready to roll it over a curb and go play since there should be more rain. HAHAHA Daniel....I creamed 2 of those candy canes pulling it in forward the first time so I move them before I leave now. Good point on the bull bar vs. pre-runner but I'm thinking I may just get some lights for it. Really don't want to cover my lights or grill plus I got that bull bar for $50!

More rain is good Tee, I've got a chain and a 95 Xtra cab that hasn't seen mud in like 4 years. I'll get you out hehe

Even more of a reason to sell it. You could get AT LEAST $100 for that bull bar probably more.

Let's go - I'm READY!! I want to test it all out before I take it back to be checked out in a week.

But I love chromed out bull bar look to match the grill. Not looking to make a profit then turn around and spend even more.

and try not to run over that cane when you pull out of your driveway. Dmonge is right.... That bullbar is robbing you and making the truck look 6 inches or more shorter than it is... PS.... i say screw the candy canes.... lol Truck looks real good. Congrats on finally having a finished product.

I'm very satisfied how it all came out and the ride quality. Speedo calibrator to ship today. Need to get my GCT banner on the front and add my hitch cover once I get a pin to hold it in place. Not changing bull bar unless I find I need a brushguard out on the trails (doubt it) but may go ahead and add the lights for it. Sorry no prerunner - don't like it and I'm not putting anything black on front of the rig....must be chrome. HIDs are out of the question - I was blinded by way too many on the trip home that it would be obnoxious of me to put that on Manny considering I got nasty flashes just for the PIAA driving lights. Not really sure what the next mod will be......maybe the amber cab clearance lights but I need to start pricing the install since I'm not drilling into my roof on my own. All audio is being postponed for at least another 4 months. Gotta pay homeowner taxes now....F&#%#%$ taxes!!!!

Originally was going to get them done at the same time but not ready to drop $1300 since I already have something functional. My mom can get in OK so not too worried but may need to do something for the dogs/tailgate since I already boost them.

Thanks again. It's been a long work in progress and so far very happy with how things came out. Sad part - thinking of what else I can do so that I'll drive it more to enjoy the mods!

Took it on a trip to Austin yesterday but no off road yet. Off from work all this week so I'm flexible and wouldn't mind someone to show me the ropes.
