I decided that my truck needed a new look, so...

SoCarZ71 · February 6, 2005

I started by giving it a bath:

Then I went to 4 Wheel Parts in Jacksonville and picked up these:

And on Tuesday, I will be dropping it off at North Florida Offroad to have a 6" BDS Lift installed.

Then I will get busy installing these:

A set of Westin Wheel-to-Wheel side bars and a rear bumper guard.

I can't wait for my grille guard to come in.

very nice. Those are the tires I wanted...they were out of stock when I was ordering my parts so I ended up with x-terrains.

just a little fyi...those tires are very loud!!!

OK, these guys are pissing me off! They keep jerking me around. I was supposed to take the truck in on Tuesday, but they called on Monday asking if they could reschedule for Thursday. Ok, no problem. So, I dropped the truck off yesterday morning just as they were opening. It was supposed to take a day, day and a half at the most.

I called yesterday at 4:30, and the owner tells me that the front is almost done, but they have to do the rear and get the alignment done, so lunch time today and it will be ready.

Today, I call at 1:00 and they are just finishing tightening up the front and then they will start on the rear, should be ready by 3:00. I stopped by at 4:30 and they are still working on the front and haven't touched the rear. Should only take two, maybe three more hours. Mind you they close at 6:30.

I am so pissed right now, it isn't even funny. I don't even pretend to imagine that installing the lift is an easy task, but that gives them no reason to lie to me about it. I need something to drive to work on Monday, and I don't think that they normally work weekends.
