Well, I've already done the official introduction of my truck a few months ago but never got around to doing an official build thread. A little history... I first got a 1996 DI, put on a mild lift and wheeled the heck out of it until it was on it's last leg. It was sad to see her go but The Black Widow had seen better days.
I found The Hulk (my kids name my trucks) when the PO was being sent to Japan for work. I thought his asking price was too high so I waited and waited, hoping no one would buy it. Then 3 days before he was leaving for Japan I made him a very low cash offer and he took it.
It currently has a 2" lift but it is old and sagging. Immediately after buying The Hulk my mind went into overdrive thinking about the "ultimate build". But after much thought and remembering that I live in California and the specific terrain we have here, I decided to "go mild not wild".
I have a 3" Rovertym lift and Old Man Emu shocks waiting to be installed.
Pic #1 - Christmas day / current state sans the tree...
Pic #2 - 33x13.5x15 super swampers waiting to be installed; I will also be trimming the fenders and adding Roccia fender flares
Pic #3 - Rovertrack rear HD axles waiting to be installed
