    Sorry for the delay. I have been quite busy, but my 4 year old son and I have installed a Weber 32/36 carb and did away with all emissions...

    Check out www.monstaliner.com for some great refinishing ideas.

    At the least the inside of your bed/tailgate. Potentially the entire truck if it's actually going to be used in the woods.

    The truck, as you bought it, would be a treasured jewel in the remote areas of eastern Guatemala. Considered a cream puff and put into immediate service. :thumbsup:

    Added the roof rack the other day!!! Cleaned up some wiring within the dad from cruise control (removed); also relocated aftermarket stereo... Installing original turn dial stereo and keeping factory look inside... Ordered some All Pro wheel spacers; lift decisions SkyJacker allows me to keep steering stock; would like to go All Pro Extreme lift, but that will have to wait...
