    Do you have a pic of that? sounds like a cool setup. The rear fenders lok like they are coming out nice. with all the work on the bedsides are you going to do a drop bed also?

          Today I took the stock hilift tires off and swapped in some 1.9 flatirons,  then I took the truck out and tied it to a big arse rock to see how much better it pulled with the duals, and found that even with all the tamiya leafs in the rear the rear axle wrapped so hard you could see the pinion touching the ground, so I built a trac bar that mounts to the highest shock mounting hole on the axle and mounted a bracket to the frame right before the back of the cab, now it has limited axle wrap and full articulation and 3.2 inches of tire on each side.......this thing hooks way harder, I drug the 6-10lb  rock about 3ft,and it was pullin the right front tire off the ground......pics will be up tonight

    It's very easy really.  Just upload your video to YouTube first and then use the YouTube button on the left side of the second row of buttons here:
