I touched up the grill guard today with a quick sand job and some more spray-on bed liner. Definitely hid some flaws caused by my lack of experience with spray-on bed liners, today's touch up made a huge difference and I am very pleased with the outcome.

I've been visiting and re-visiting the Treadwright website today looking at mud tires, but I'm having trouble "pulling the trigger" so to speak. . . .

I'm torn between purchasing some tires for a set of 17 inch GMC wheels I already own, or going back to stock 16 inch wheels and getting tires for those. Either way, the rims that were on the truck when I got it HAVE TO GO !!

What to do, what to do . . . . .

No blinding others now.:Nonono:

Haha no I def am not "that guy" but they are waaaaay low I had the screw adjusted as far low and inwards as they will go and now can't see anything past about 20 feet. So going to adjust them up about 40% higher and see how that goes.

Today we drove it up to our 5th cabin to see about moving into of the weekend. It is about 50 miles away from Seattle. an hour long drive each way for my GF to go to work and about hour n 15 minutes for me to get to work down at Ft. Lewis.

I replaced the catalytic converters today and installed two 12" Cherry Bombs. The SES light is finally gone. Waiting on the delivery of the 2 1/4" hot rod exhaust kit so I can finally put dual exhaust on the Kon. Can't seem to find a shop anywhere near me that actually bends a custom exhaust. :disgust:

Damn, I forgot there was a thread for the OBS trucks, and posted this also on another (I guess NBS) thread...

Finally put together my trailer hitch bike carrier.
I'm tired of cleanin' mud outta' the INSIDE of the truck.
Took it on the road to make sure I wouldn't lose it along the way.

Well Hot Rod kit arrived yesterday and today I pulled the Kon into the shop to finish the job. After 4 hours and a little cursing, the job is done. I'll post pics soon.

I originally wanted a typical dual rear exit exhaust but did a single side swept dual exhaust. Kon sounds awesome, kinda like a race car. Drives real nice too.

I just bought a PVC formed mat for the back of my truck. I USED TO have a hitch mount rack, but apparently my treck 4300 was worth the work of removing my hitch carrier....

you downhill bike?

I pretty much use it for all trails. We got lots of 'em where I live. There's even a few black diamond trails here and there.

Sucks they stole ur bike man.
