new picks, bedliner, hood scoops and cut fenders

[mazdamama]

Now it has no rubbing isues whatsoever, but i still dont know why the cab, and bed shift away from eachother when its flexed.

heres a comparison, allthough its not fully flexed in this pic

you can see that i replaced the trim with 6 foot washing machine hoses cut to lenght and epoxyed on.

heres a better shot of the scoops.

Looks good.
I'm not a huge fan of stick on/ non functional scoops, but to each his own.

The cab and bed move because of frame flex, and/ or worn body mount bushings. It is nothing out of the ordinary.
Generally older trucks are worse about it than newer trucks.

i agree thats why i made mine functional

 

[WisdoM]

lookin good wouldnt the scoops have to be hooked up to the intake to be functional tho

 

[mazdamama]

well, in that case, theyre not functional, but they still help to air cool a little bit, when im wheeling, if i wanted to i could find a way to hook them up. maybe after i put the 5.0 in it.

so what happend to the other offroad light on your bushbar (lightbar what ever you want to call it)

i went out to my truck one morning and saw that someone busted the light off my lightbar, broke my mirrors, bent my antena, and bent my windshield wipers, everything else i was able to bend back properly, and somehow i got my mirrors to snap back on allthough the plastic that they mount to is still craked, but the light from my bar was broken off, and i havnt got around to replacing it yet.
