    Thanks AND i am NOT done ---i want to tint the front window, waiting to hit 5000 before i install cold air intake --wanna change the light cover!!!

    I, at present dont have a lift as my truck barely fits my garage! Am seriously considering it though (would be a great excuse to move into a bigger garage!!!hahaha) but with the tires i have now --it wont work as i dont want the 'donut' look ---my rims are 17" --MotoMetal, tires are 32" (they tried installing a 33" but it rubbed --but even with a 32" it still rubs so would have to shave off the inside a tad)BF Goodrich All Terrain.

    Hey now, not a stupid question... It's so that the black of the grille doesn't get upstaged by a silver bits behind it. Your truck looks great and you seem like a GREAT Mom! My mom didn't take me wheeling! I am assuming that is your son - is it his truck or yours? ;)

    I'm tired of the "I'm chromier than thow" look. Save that bling bling chaching thing for the triple edge wiper crowd. You and your taco deserve better.
