My 12v Nothing much but its mine
Well I hope that worked. The links are looking wierd. Used to posting up on Cummminsforum
Well thats my truck, Haven't filled out my sig so I'll put it in here.
1998 12v Quad Cab Short Bed Slt Laramie has about every factory option. Has leather interior in Beige.
The only "bombs" I've done to it so far are a new intake, deleted the cat and muffler, and starwheel has a few cranks, and the plate has been slid forward a bit. Oh and last week I torched those rusty steps off.
Working on enough funds to buy a ValveBody
35x12.50r16 Baja Claws are being shipped out hopefully here by Friday. They will be going on my new 16x8 DC-2 Black Rims and it will be leveled in a week too.
Thats it. Comments & suggestions are welcome.

Yeah its a work in progress.
I think this summer I will start building more stuff for it myself./
So far on the list are an Intake Horn, Ladder bars, smoke box and 6" flat black mitres, NFab style side steps, Heat sheild for the stacks, and If I get really adventerous a front and rear bumper.
I'll keep everyone updated on it as it continues to progress.
What are your guys' opinion on the taillights?

They are sprayed with VHT Nightshades 2 coats. Then they have something like 4-5 coats of Clear on them.
I like them alot better now!
Just wish I had 1 pieced smoked headlights to match.

Im just gonna throw this out there. I would get some 10 in wide wheels to mount those 12.5 tires on. A lot of people run the 8 in wide wheels with 12.50s but its not good on the tires. oh and the truck looks pretty good. looking forward to seeing the rest of the bombs when youre done

I looked into a 10" wheel. Everyone I talked to said that with a 2.5" level it would rub like no other!
Plus they were more 'spensive. Not good on a college student that works at a grocery store part time
But yeah keep subscribed the mods will be spaced out but I'll keep updating it as we progress.
On a side note, my Bilstein 5100 shocks are 7-10 days if I buy them from Oreily's. Anybody know an internet site with fast shipping?
Looks like the tires will be on before the level. Here we come massive rub!
