Just Picked My '04 Up; And First Mod

Finally picked it up. So excited I hope I checked it out well. Closed the dealership down - couldn't get there till 8:00PM. Got home and drove around the block a few times in the dark. Then sat in the driveway for about 15 minutes checking things out.

Made my first mod. Pulling off the dealer sticker that I forgot to tell them NOT to put on. Should have seen me - 10:00 in the dark, in the driveway, 30 degrees F, with a hair dryer and extension cord heating and peeling off the sticker.

The whole deal went fairly smooth. Got a good price, no heavy pressure for anything. Overall I am pleased how things went.

Got an appointment next Thursday to get my Line-X installed.

I'll post my first impressions when I have more time. Right now I've got that "New Truck Buzz" going on

congrats. your driveway will love you.

the "New Truck Buzz" led me to jump in my tuck at 1 am and drive a few miles to the local McDonalds to park in their lot and sit on the tailgate just for the hell of it. they were closed and I just sat their smoking a cigarette and watching cars pass on the freeway. then i jumped in a drove around some more. the new truck is so fun. enjoy it man!

I thought I was crazy for getting up early and taking a 40 minute drive in my '04 before work each morning. I tell my wife," I gotta go break in the new truck!" What can I say.....its fun to drive.
