    yea if only..would have to do a whole nother body swap tho..haha or motor swap at least.

    figure ill pay about 5-700 for some vinyl wrap and wrap the truck myself to get it silver again. Plus..over priced..damn. i paid 6300 for mine with only 96k on it.

    I'm like a week late on this conversation but I'm excited. I'm finally getting back to the gym regularly after my severed achilles and I'm starting to move up in my deadlifts again. I hit 405 yesterday for a set of 1 and 2! What type of workouts to you guys do?

    Dip it! Costs less than wrap, can be done in a spray booth or drive way. Plus you can control the colors way more. I have always thought Bluminum would be cool for these trucks.

    Derp definitely won't hold up like a wrap will. Also, look at your truck Monty, it is constantly covered in mud. Even though you rarely wash your truck, if you wanted to have it clean once in a while it's almost impossible with Derp. Once you get Derp muddy it is very hard to get it to look clean again.

    I thought about derping my truck because it was a cheap way to try out a new color, but that's what stopped me.
