Yea. I got w2 the day before I left and got those filed them and got my return on the 1st. threw that all in savings until I get back and start ordering ttruck parts. Either way you go you have a good looking truck. I have had mine for a while before I started putting nice stuff into it. Had to do all the front end and tires. General maintenance stuff. Finally able to start throwing some wanted stuff into it.

took me a year to find tails that looked OE but were a crystal red. instead of the clear or LED style. im ready for a new head unit, thinkin a touch screen that can do my sat radio as well as my ipod, got it hooked up to an alpine amp n a JL w3 12". beats hard enough for me haha. I liked ND durring spring n summer n most of fall, I worked the oil patch up there. just didnt like all the snow in the winter haha.

Haha. I liked the snow. Just not when it was below 0. That would be a nice addition to your truck. I have the two 10's under my back seat. They are hooked to a kicker 1000.1 and they hit!! I never turn them up past half way. It took mne forever to find tails that I like. I am gonna take them apart and go black inside just so they aren't so bright red.

Thanks man!! That would look good!! I was gonna go black but after getting my 35's on I like the all white body and I still wanna protect the rockers. I am also gonna redo body molding. I like having it on there on my truck. I think it would look good without, but think it will look good with them as well. My tint is gonna go to 20% up front.

yea i got snagged by ks law on the 35% on tint. they stripped it n i had to redo it n pay a $250 fine. but ima almost black out the rear windows which will make the fronts darker. plus the stripe on the windsheild helped a ton to darken the cab up. id keep the molding, our doors have alot of realistate. just a solid color will look kinda bland, but id def white out ur mouldings n leave em on there just to break up all that space. oh n check out option racing on ebay, they have some killer mirros that im lookin at. kinda like superduty mirrors for an F150.

I will do that. I've been looking for towing mirrors for a while. Can't find any that I really like. Do love the superduty mirrors though. I don't really have to worry about the tint laws cause my truck is ND registered here in california. Yea my back has 3% over the factory tint. I wanna do the windshield strip but not till I get my windshield replaced. I have a crack along the bottom.
