    Hey guys I joined last week sometime, but I didn't have my truck yet. I got it on saturday and it is awesome. I hunt and fish a lot so I needed a truck. I already took off the graphics. They didn't bother me that much, but I like the cleaner look much more. I love the color! Not a big off roader so I like that it has a little more agressive look to it. I seriously love this truck! :D

    Ordered a color matched grille. (I will be selling the chrome one once I install the red one)

    Tints are going on tomorrow on my birthday! Thanks Girlfriend

    I'm going to be getting some sliders, avid light bar w/ some lights, and a baja rack down the road. That is about it till.

    Very nice without the crazywrap. I agree, it was way too much.

    One thing; those shocks look like the tube running to the remove reservoir would be easily damaged if something got up in there.

    Dont worry about the rmote resi's man, I dont think youll be doing any crazy offroading and all the cool kids(long travel and race trucks) run remote resi shocks. Looks super clean, I kinda like the wrap its different. and i bet the ride is going to be super smooth on what offroading you do use it for!
