Bought the truck with 80k with a little rust, straight piped, cai, and gauges.

2 years later its sitting at 130k. Goal when buy the truck was to have a low fast dd that was clean and could hit the track.

maint. done so far:
-All brakes
-both front hubs
-rear wheel bearings/seal and new dust shields
-tie rods(inner-outer) and pitman arm and idler

add ons-
-efi live
-rebuilt stock ihi with a wetzler wheel and porting and boost valve
-tie rod sleeves/ dhd allseason brace
-qa1s up front with front decranked.
-3" drop shackles in rear with leaf spring clamps and rancho 9000s

So I am starting to get stuff together on the truck now.

First thing I really wanted was to have all the rust repaired as every week it sits on the truck it gets worse.

So replacing
-rockers
-cab corners
-both bed sides
- roll pan weled/and smothed
-both front fenders
-cowl hood

just need to figure out what I am going to do for the front bumper.

That's the same price as buying new ones

I had the same ones on my RC which I only drove when my other truck was down
I wouldn't use them on a daily driver or even want to run them thru our winters, too much money sitting there get killed by road treatment

I only had them on in the summer. But i agree. Not ideal for daily. I bought them
Used so its not the end of the world.
I have racho 9000s sitting in the garage im going to throw on today.

But yeah i was shocked with that price. They said buy new ones. These are beat.
