    Very nice and very original! Some may like it and others may not, but in the end, you are the one driving it and paying for it. Kudos for making it your own!

    It is going in the trash as soon as the Feb Bonus comes. I am wanting to put a shallow lip Sato Grill . I am ordering a new light bar next week, and working on some cool bed accessories. :D

    Went and bought some new lights for the truck today. I am changing the rear lights that are wired for back lights. I don't really like having the Round lights on the headache rack. I think a smaller rectangle will compliment the truck rack more than the round ones. Filled up the gas tank today and drove her home. I will put some pics up after the install.


    Good day. Craig

    Yesterday I attempted to fix the paint screw ups on the grill! Much to my dismay the paint I ordered was not a good match at all. How difficult can it be to get a good match? Any how I decided this morn that I will go back to black. So I sanded it down, and cleaned it up again. Black is back on.

    Today I removed the overhead light and sun glass holder.
    It was a pretty simple removal. One screw removal and a
    little tug on the front and bamm. I used a flat black primer
    and a satin black rattle can. I looks good. I don't know why the
    trucks don't come like this!

    I slid my fingernail under the corner and gently pulled them off. I am sure a credit card would work as well.
