Truck is still going every day strong.

Few changes in the works . Got new stock front leads but hd option 4 leaf for the snow plow . Then rear gets the stock hangers back and the flip kit off . She is going down to about stock level now .

Got some extra 88-98 8 lug trims and caps and painted the rim's white . Then mounted some 265/75/16 lr-E Bridgestone blizzack snow tires .

Next was time to get the BIG BOY snow plow back in action again. So the 9ft FISHER was dug out . Blown apart . Old skin cut off . Blasted . New 3/16 thick skin welded on . Re-blasted to get rid of mill scale and get the paint a place to bit on .

Today was yellow paint day . Next is black parts and assembly the plow and new pins and rams .

Should be good to go this winter if we get real snow . Otherwise it was a fun rebuild and upgrade .
