    Yes sir... I'd advise @BassAckwards to downgrade his front bumper, suspension, and rear bumper. Maybe we can store them in a nearby storage unit facility.

    @BassAckwards, your truck is going to turn heads... I'm 100% sure it'll also catch the attention of some bad people.

    Here ya go, you can see a very small dent in the roof, other than that everything is nice. The top of the a-pillars are really the only bad place on the truck. Hood and roof still look okay even though maaco painted them.

    My hood and roof were like this back a couple years ago. Got those fixed because it was starting to rust.. these may require some attention soon, but it might be something i try to tackle myself

    I completely understand. I was also a bit skeptical of leaving my rig over there for nearly 1 entire month, but then remembered my truck looked like shit, and just shrugged it off. I mean... just look at this nasty thing:
