I was planning on keeping it stock...but that never works for me. So to get started I added some Nerf bar steps and to get a little of that '70's free wheelin' feelin' I threw on some KC Hilites.

Looks Great! What light mounting brackets are those? I like the way they're offset so they don't impede your vision.

Thanks! I started with with the ACE cube bracket risers, then had my buddy throw them on his lathe and open them up to 8mm, then a couple universal L brackets from the Auto parts store, and painted everything black to match.

Looks awesome. I’m supposed to be getting those same vent decals glad to see what they actually look like in pics/person. Great name.
Thank you! The guy that made the vent decals also made that name decal for me too. Good guy to work with.

If you put larger tires and don't recalibrate the speedometer, your MPG will read lower than what it actually is.
Is that true? I just installed 37's and I have yet to recalibrate and my mpg's dropped 4mpg which I was super bummed about.

What was your mileage to begin with? The tire size difference is about 12%. For example, if you started with 20mpg and dropped to 16mpg, you are actually closer to 18mpg if your speedo was calibrated correctly.

You nailed it, I was barely 20 before and now I'm barely 16.
