Talking Big thanks to all on the board

I finally got the pictures back of my 2000 so I thought I'd post the best one. Yes, I know less about photography than most.

You guys sure have been a big help. I picked it up on April 25 and after the weekend I'll have done everything on the maintenance logs up to and including all fluid changes. Made the Amsoil order today and it should be here by the weekend.

Took the truck out turkey hunting the first weekend, and have since hauled mulch twice. A great truck to work out of.

The family is having fun laughing at me cleaning it all of the time (it had three coats of polish before the first week was up), but I told them I would be a little fussy for a while.

Put some front mud flaps on and planning to get the K&N air filter and maybe a wood grain kit. My mods will most likely be focused more on function that appearance. Have a scratch to fix, but that will come in time.

Thanks again for all the help. You all really helped me in selecting a good truck.

And if you are wondering how much of an upgrade this is...... my last truck was a 1981 Isuzu P'up.

Yes, it's a big jump up. In motor alone. 1.8 litre to 4.2.

Other than going from 38 to 18 MPG, everything else is grand. Glad that with gas prices I kept the 90 Honda to go back and forth to work.

98Screamer, nice touch. Cute. I'll probably not adjust the height of the truck. I unloaded 3 cubic yards of mulch out of it over the weekend, and it was just right on the height for that.

I'd love to see what it would look like with a lift though.

Nice job on the lowering. Interesting.

Thanks Predator for the compliment. The Zaino products are wonderful.

3 cubic yards?

Bet you had 2 and a half by the time you got home!

No, sorry Raul, I cheated. Two trips. One with 2 yards, and one with 1 yard.

But unloading sure was nice. Easy out.

And made the wife happy in the process. All of her little plants are now beautifully surrounded with mulch....

Gotta keep her happy too.
