    Just added toolbox and roof-rack to haul my fishing boat 100's of miles into the backwoods every week. Goodrich K02s, Bilstein 5100 front and back, no lift.
    Whats a robmotive?

    I might go to the wreckers and buy some odd bits of chrome and glue them to the sides of my truck. Help hide the bush scratches.

    Chrome is for low riders and mini trucks.

    I bought my Taco for one reason only, because it has chrome. Look how well it matches my kettle.

    Well, except for the chrome wheels and the chrome badges. If it was original anyway.

    Well, that one's not mine it's just a pic I got from the internet. Mine isn't actually a Grand National anyway it's a Turbo T, pretty much identical to the GN except for the badging and some trim.

    Hear hear. They’re getting hard to find.

    It’s all good, the power plant is what mattered. Good stuff, you have a nice ride.
