SCORE!:metal: After months of searching, from coast to coast, I found these hooks from a kid less than 20 miles away and he let em go for 200$. I think that used up all of my luck for the rest of my life.:lol: Just one more part of the puzzle!

2. Routed and welded up exhaust.
3. Body is still at body shop, she is ready for paint but of course we chose a paint that is both expensive and not in stock.:waah::lol:
4. Purchased 4in lift but did not get installed, no excuses, just lazy!:metal:

Thanks for stopping by. Happy new year to all!

Thanks, We, my company, rent part of our warehouse to a welding outfit, so I hijacked the design and measurements from this board and had them weld me one up.
