    Well, last night, me and my trusty bottle of Jack were watching re-runs of the Fall Guy. After watching him tear it up and jump over another car, I decided I wanted my truck to be like that, so I quickly got online and ordered a chrome roll bar with lights and a chrome brush guard. I wonder if it is too late to cancel the order?

    I picked the wrong installer to handle my suspension. Still paying for that.

    And, getting set to buy tires, and the decision would be easy if I had 17” wheels... but I won’t buy them, soooo.......

    I was kidding, but Hulu does have it. Back in those days, we only had a few channels to choose from.

    Upgraded shocks, holy shit do the Sport shocks ride hard as f*ck!
    I bought it with a Range Rider Canopy, that's all that the local truck shop sells, it was supposedly one of the first ones the company made for a third gen, the fit and finish is less than ideal, after trying nearly every trick in the book, I still can't get the front of the cap to not flood the floor inside in a light trickle and I can fit my thumbs between the rear window corners and the tailgate. Buyers remorse, wish I would have bought a more reputable brand.

    Leafs. I got a pair standard All Pro in Hawaii free shipping from a local shop and loved the deal.

    Haha. These things suck to haul anything.

    I bought a 10 dollar oem style switch from Amazon. It looks and fits great but sticks when you push it and take some fiddling to turn back off. Fortunately it's in my any time backup cam sonindont use it very often anyway

    I don't know why some people complain about the manual transmission or the automatic... these are not race cars they are pickup trucks

    I wish I would have looked at the truck a little closer on the lot and gotten one with automatic headlights. Not a big deal though
