Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
i ordered a set of KM2 33x12.5/15 but i am thinking maybe i should have gone with the 10" width instead for less sluggish steering

I'd go through the brakes and be sure they are in order. The seats actually looked pretty good. Give them a good scrubbing and they will probably clean up real nice. I got a whole new carpet set and that really helped. I think I got it from stockinteriors.com but the vendor/supplier is actually ACC. Most will come from ACC too but that's the one to get. Check out ball joints and all steering components. Check out driveline u-joints too. May want to replace for piece of mind. Overall, sweet deal and congrats!! Here is mine with 33x12.5r15 on the stock ralley 15x8's. Lift is 2.5" but yours will look pretty close to this.....

i ordered a carpet set fro LMC today along with a new front bumper and brackets and a new dash pad i also ordered all new rubbers all the way around wasn't hard to get up over the $1000 mark which gives you free shipping! Took it by my body man today and had him give it a once over as well I am going to have him wet sand and buff the whole truck and paint the top maybe flat black and paint the wheels silver the i love the look of the white wheels and dog dish hub caps but not sure it will look good on a black truck

The canopy bolts are the funky open star type thing, but screw into some flat plate nuts of some sort. I had one bad one so went to home depot and got a flat bar that was the right thickness. Then drilled and tapped it. Then cut off the length I needed and inserted into the channel on the bottom side of the bed rail. Works great and is like the rest of them. They need to slide in the small channel just a little bit so you have flexibility getting the bolt in once the top has been dropped back on. Take the interior side panels off and you'll gain access to the bottom rail where you can replace the flat bar nuts. I start with the front cab bolts first to get it sucked in better, and then do the bedrail bolts. Lets see some pics too! You'll always find more things to do....and spend on these trucks. It's fun though!

Re: thinking about getting this in the morning
Make sense now....I just don't always put things together!!
Just gotta love these K5's and MC's! Schpeen.....looking good man! Love the seats and the custom armrest in the doors. Nice touch! I'm heading to FL with the wife in May. Wish I had time to see your truck and get a ski in! One of the perks of FL for sure! She was just there during Spring break with my girls. Landed in Miami and stayed in Ft Lauderdale, I believe. She did NOT like Miami airport though....very stressful!
