hi guys, just got back home, managed to put almost 90 miles on it driving around town for the last 3 hours or so. here are some more pictures...
[NOTE: these pictures may depict the true color a little more accurately since there is some shadow and less direct light. this color really does change alot depending on the amount and angle of the light from blue to purple, but again in direct bright light it is a very pretty blue]

here's a picture of the rails for the tonneau cover, I just hadn't bothered to install it yet... (also shows my optional snow lined bed)
some other junkers (j/k) that showed up while we were washing the truck:

a couple of quick things I noticed:
1. the cubby hole is there on my truck (was absent on my '01), but seems to me to be larger or shaped differently than before?
2. the truck seems to ride a little rougher than I remember, maybe due the the increased payload rear springs.
3. the steering felt a little quicker during slow speed driving, but may just be my imagination again since I read it's supposed to be revised.
4. my door lock ***** are plain black? i thought my old ones were grey
5. I like the new wheels ALOT, they look MUCH better in person IMHO.
6. I've got the square shaped "oh chit" handles, but I have the round window and door lock buttons?
7. Still sucks down fuel like the last one!
um... thats all I noticed so far, been in a rush all day, haven't really had time to look the truck over very well, haven't taken the plastic off of the seats or even signed the paperwork yet!
later,
chris

new yellow coolant...
new wheels... camaro-esque or not, me likey!
another thing I noticed, there are alot of other vehicles on the road with similar blue colors... and they all seemed to be looking at me like I stole their color? maybe just my imagination. Acura's, Honda's, WRX's, I even saw a chevy truck in a similar color and a mini van or sport ute of some kind, and some others have "sonic" blue too
