    Greetings fellow "best truck to ever be made" owners! Just joined this awesome site a few days ago and must say I love everything about it... A little about my truck and I. Purchased her back in '08 in Los Angeles, CA when I lived out there. Took that long trip down Interstate 10 to Houston then through Mexico, which was pretty interesting, til we got here to Belize. Been doing some upgrades since I bought her, which includes new tires, a new OME lift, new exhaust, Diamond Liner bed-liner, K&N intake, and etc... I'm considering painting her over in the near future along with painting the fender flares and rocker panels with that Raptor Liner product (any suggestions on prepping surfaces would be greatly appreciated). I'm also considering installing a tube bumper (leaning towards the All Pro Baja) once I get some spare change. With that said, looking forward to all the info and advice that may be given by this knowledgeable group.

    PS here's my baby.

    Welcome, from Folsom, CA.

    We visited the Maya ruins there a few years ago, a beautiful country .
    Is it hard to get the parts you need for your rig?

    Interesting that you are calling the truck a female. You got a name for her? :D

    Belize is a beautiful place indeed, but definitely lacking in the parts availability department. Cheap Chinese POS parts are available so I have to order most items online and have shipped with a freight forward, which travels here once or twice a month. Good thing is I haven't had any issues at all with this truck, well besides changing the idle air control valve, but that wasn't a huge issue.

    The GF calls her baby. I don't know why I let her get away with that, but such is life :)

    Thanks! Was checking out your profile and lights. After I pull the trigger on that bumper I was talking about I will need some lights to compliment it, maybe even a roof mounted LED light bar. Do you guys carry roof mounts for the LED bars?
