Ohh yeeaah, It'll lay frame when the airbags are done. (should be in 1-2 mos.) I'm gonna four-link the rear and cantilever mount the bags on the link bar, should get me around 14" of lift & drop (thats what my friend got out of his Explorer cantilever bag setup.) Definitely needs graphics too but I'm not sure if I want to do flames (Although I do have some excellent ones drawn up!) Although I might turn left and do something I haven't ever seen before???

I got a truxedo for my SCrew....It had the wrong latches on it...
I went to put it on today and found out that the left side rail had the wrong latch on it (latch was for non-superCrew) and the right side rail did not have any latch at all on it. 
They did send replacement notice saying that the supercrew latches were different then other latches and they were included....but NO supercrew latches found. Now I have to call on Monday and get SuperCrew latches sent. Till then, my truxedo is laying on the garage floor.

Let us know how it turns out Dale. Unfortunately after-the-sale support is sometimes the most important thing. What the hell ever happened to quality control anyway ???????
My best experience was with the Shorty Antenna folks who seem to really care what people think after the sale. Plus, they have a great product that's well thought out and is functional as well !!!
Worst experience was with the Volant FIPK folks who didn't respond to email at all after they sent me their P.O.S. product and then basically told me "Tuff Sh_t" when I called them on their non-tollfree number.
Good luck to you Dale.
Oh yeah, Screwballer.....I don't know what to think about that flamed instrument panel overlay. I'd love it to impress a little chicky ( however, at my age that'd be the babysitter and if I'm wanting to impress her I'm in trouble) and it'd be cool at a show.....maybe.......but if I had to look at it every morning and nite going back and forth to work in the dark....I think not.
However, the cool thing is that if you think it's cool then I think it's cool !!!!!!!!!! Have fun !!!!

Momule there is a reason behind the name. years ago I had a Honda Accord station wagon 91 model with 17 inch wheels custom paint and a boomin stero I took first at many shows. One day some girl I was dateing (well you could call her a hooker) said "heys lets take the welfare wagon and go cruising my friends heard that and it has stuck ever since. It was either that or "Johnny Speeding Chrome" because of all the tickets I got racing with the chrome wheels on the car. Now you know the rest of the story

big sighs........
apparently the Santa that services my neighborhood has pretty shallow pockets.....I got L taillites but had to buy em myself. damn the bad luck !!!!!
I'm grateful that my SCrew is running like a top, that my kid's braces are paid for already, that the water heater is still cranking out hot water, that I'm employed and I don't hate my job, and that my darlin' wife has either not seen through my BS or if she has she loves me anyway.
It's a great life if you don't weaken.........
Hope all ya truckers have a safe and great New Years !!!!!!

I did not get anything specifically for the truck, but I am going abroad next semester with my college to London (I get to pay for most of it) so I got a new luggage bag and the family paid for part of a digital camera (I actually got it today). It is cool. I know what you are talking about momule, you have to hang tough, I worked 3 jobs last summer and two this last semester to pay for next semester and to finish paying for my truck, and I know how hanging tough goes, my parents divorced last Spring and I have gone through lots of other rough things this last year, but I am sure next year will be easier. Have a good rest of the year guys!
