    Sorry guys. Will update later today, I had to put down one of our dogs this morning and I'm currently digging a hole I'm the woods to put him. He was 11 years old with undiagnosed canine peridontitis. German Shepherd/Blue heeler mix. "Buster"received_362431091224099.jpg

    thank you all for your thoughts and sentiments, he was a good boy. Thanks especially to Muddinfun for that video/song. We laughed at that. I wasn't able to take many pics of it today, but i did snag a few of the LED conversions I did. I'll post them up and some pictures of my other doggos.

    I think someone earlier mentioned that if I was going for a 4x4 i should get a doublecab. This is my intention. found a few already but there's no point looking till I finish this.

    If that were my rig:

    - SuperTech High Mileage 5w-30 synthetic oil and Fram Utra filter. (Walmart)

    - Fresh Valvoline Zerex coolant (Walmart)

    - Valvoline MaxLife ATF for the tranny and power steering (Walmart)

    - Spark plugs and fresh rear diff service.

    Keep it and drive it as a nice beater.

    And real sorry about your pup, brother.

    The grill trim was cracked/broken when I received it. Took it off and ordered a replacement.

    Gotta go back to work the next few days, put the truck in the shop to have the cooling system looked at. Airbag light was also on so I'm having that checked, and the alternator isn't charging the battery well enough, new battery died after I drove the truck around for 2 days. Had it tested and the alternator failed.

    Radiator sounds/looks like it's blocked. Probably gonna steam purge the whole system.

    My friend Josh is my mechanic and only charges like $60 an hour and he's speedy. I buy the parts and he puts em in when I'm working and I want something done while I'm out he works on it and gets it done for cheap. I'll post up when it's done.

    Got new carpet and a new front grill trim. New tailgate edge trim, And more LEDs for interior.
    Should be posting up on Wednesday afternoon with a good running truck. New A/T tires going on too, hopefully it'll sell faster that way.

    Good oil. But actually a Warren Performance product. Not Shell.
