    Really? I swore it was tan lol. I'm surprised it sold honestly. I'm hoping to get a police officer job here in the next month so more funds to come for the new truck ha.

    Also I got a chance to pull with the bumper and it pulled great and the bends on the bumper make it a cinch to slide under and remove the trailer hitch!

    Pete, let me get this straight... You are worried about frame rot and you are wanting to sell your truck because it is so bad yet you tow with it?? Then in the same paragraph you mention becoming a police officer?? :facepalm::D

    Frames been patched! And I've been a police officer for the military 3 years now and figure the transition will be easy enough!

    I didn't realize you fixed everything. The police comment had to do with the irony of driving a structurally questionable vehicle around let alone towing with it. It wasn't a jab about the profession in case you took it that way.

    It's not illegal. Nate's truck might be illegal. But at any rate it would not be good if your frame snapped with a trailer behind you.

    Ryan, at first I thought you were talking about my regular cab. I was like WTF is he talking about? lol.

    Pete, please remind us how will you be "protecting and serving" while the back half of your truck and the trailer break free and crash into unsuspecting children on their bicycles. :p.

    Glad to hear it is fixed.

    I am saying $4,000-4,500 since it is private party. Will you be using "new" stock parts or old stuff because that could change a lot.

    Well I'll just be returning the old UCA's and coils I'll replace the UBJ before I do though but like all the new maintenance stuff I put on will be left on of course. Oh and do you know why my turn signal housings wouldnt line up right ? they pop out to the side and I'd like to fix that before I sell it

    If you drive on the frame it should pretty much assemble itself.

    @Penten Do you still want your skid plates? I have them, just want to make sure it's still on your agenda... Otherwise I can refund you and sell them. The 3/16" 3 piece is a hot seller this go around I guess.
