I like the before and after pics! I was checking out the pics you posted in the SCAB gallery and would like to hear more about the 17" smoothies...where they came from, fit, ride etc...Hell, how bout' a laundry list of everything you've done to the truck since you got it...some of of us that are still in the build planning phase of our projects see trucks like yours that we like and we look forward to hearing and seeing how you arrived at that look...a recipe if you will...thanks Very Happy
