Yeah...
Right after it happened, I was sitting in the truck thinking, "not this crap again.." I was fine, she was shaky but okay. It bent the crap out of her front plate, but that probably saved my bumper.

BTW, I like what your doing with the underside of your truck. I need to get on that, good stuff!

Ya as long as yours is fine lol. Ya the undercoating is hard work but it will definitely be worth it. It will probably NEVER rust.

so not much of an update, but i had this for graphic design class and i thought I'd share...



It's based of off one of my pictures, then traced over. A few things added and changed (3D Carbon Front Valence, Drop, etc). Then coloured it in with Prismacolour markers. Copied then Rubylithed, copied again and finally a bit of photoshop.
Whew...

It's for our Business card, Letterhead, Envelope project. This will be the logo.

I love to draw, so if anybody wants a drawing let me know!

I've been flipping through this thread, skimming it over so forgive me if I mention something covered. Looks good, gotta love the creativity, but you truck is screaming new wheels. Nice addition with the honeycomb grille, I still can't bring myself to cover or replace mine. On your body style, the only other grille I'd replace with is a Lariet, 2008ish? Those I like alot.

I can't disagree with anything that you said....

I've been wanting wheels since I got the truck, but my
"Full-Time-Student, Just-Laid-Off" Budget isn't really allowing that...
Although, I guess this gives me an opportunity to post up some ideas to get the fourms' feedback.

I was really leaning towards Centerline Rapids.
(I think that somebody on here has a set. I can't remember who, but I know they look damn good.)
Pics for clicks (these are "22, I'd want the "20):


I pretty much had my heart set on those until I saw the new '09 FX4 Wheels...


The Centerlines really give the look that I'm going for, but the FX4 wheels would give a nice OEM+ look.

I do want to lower her as well, so keep that in mind with the wheels.

Thoughts?
Opinions?

Sure thing. anything you want me to add, mods for example?

Update:

...sort of.

So my family knows that I'm kind of obsessed with my truck. My Mom has a custom picture framing shop. So she ended up making me this for the holidays. I just got it tonight (she's been busy with actual paying customers ). But I thought that it was pretty rad, so I thought that I'd post pictures!




Not only my window sticker, but she even through in one of my original fender emblems.

Detail shot to see the depth:



This explains why I could find my emblems last week!

Hopefully some real work soon, since I've got some money coming in now.
