nice truck! i want those door handles and mirrors so bad! you should get some euro fogs and a matching white PD decal up front and how are those wipers? ive been meaning to get some.

Dude, I'd throw a Bedrug in their now. Don't worry about the drag radials messing it up. The rug cleans right up. If it doesn't, they replace it free. No questions asked. I've had my quads back their a ton of times. An it cleaned right up. Plus it gives it a cleaner look.

Thanks! the handles and mirror covers i got lucky and were already on the truck when i bought it used. When i pulled the lower off, i realized yeah clear fogs would look really good but i've been leaning towards some black lightning heads and would maybe night shade the fogs if i did. The wipers are the Rain-X latitudes, so far have been pretty good in the rain. Their real test will be this fall and winter with freezing rain and snow!

Just got the OBX headers, Magnaflow cats, and now my Spintech mufflers in and should get put on later this week!

I'm going on 7 years with mine. An yet to have a problem with it. I've spilled gas, transmission fluid, grill grease, 2 stroke oil for my Banshee. An it all has cleaned right up. Also mine hasn't see a garage from day one. It spends it life outside thru the summer & winters. Rugs just fine.

Hey guys, sorry it took me so long to post up my truck. Here she is!



And for interest's sake, this is my true love. I bought her when I was 17 and I learned most of my automotive skills and knowledge from that. Such an amazing car, and with 300hp and 350ft-lbs she goeeesssss!
