Done lurking and peeking in to say Hi

Hi everybody! My name is Stephen. I'm currently in Kentucky for work for the next few years. I just bought my first TB about 2 months ago and have been lurking on here ever since. I caught the mod bug from you guys and the TB went into the shop today for it's new goodies. My all-stock 03 4WD TB is being fitted with a MMC 3" suspension lift, Bilstein HD's (Tahoe part# in rear), MMC 1.5" spacers, and General Grabber AT2 265/70/17. Would have liked to have installed it myself, but I work 6 days a week and it just wasn't feasible. Anyways I look forward to meeting some of you and I'll post some pics of the TB once it is done.

Thanks guys...updated my profile to show my current location. The shop just called and said the TB is finished! Can't wait to finish up some work at the office so I can go pick it up! Tires just got delivered to my front porch and I'll be getting those put on in the morning and posting some measurements. BTW I purchased my tires on discounttiredirect.com with free delivery yesterday at 4pm and the wifey called and said they are already there today! I'd also like to brag on MarkMC for the advice and craftsmanship of his parts. You guys steered me in the right direction there, so thank you all for that too.

Looks great Stephen! What's the diameter on those tires? They look huge!

Yeah they do! I keep seeing more and more of the red TB and I really like that color! Looks sharp.

Thanks guys! The tires are General Grabber AT2's 265/70/17. They do look a bit "poofy" in the pic though. And I didn't really love the color originally, but it's growing on me. I think it will look better with a custom black bumper and wheels.

I've always liked Jon's rig.

That's not even right! Funny thing is I was just eyeballing the MDB Front Bumper and Rock Sliders...oh and a MMC 3" body
. Guess I have to wait on the new shoes to wear out so I can do 35's and the body lift. BTW the wifey is probably going to hate this site if she don't already lol- SPEEDRACER30
