You know, you're borderline in show truck territory, my dude. At least, I'd say so. Do some interior work and an engine dress up, make sure everything's clean and properly coated/painted (undercarriage) and I'd bet you could win several shows, bub.

I'm working to get there man. No actual intentions of doing a show, but I would love to do one it would be lots of fun. I do have full intentions of doing everything you listed as well as replacing all my bed trims and re shaving and painting my wheel wells and re painting my roll bar, some engine painting, interior painting and seats etc. Little at a time of course lol money is more limited now then it's been in a long time but I'll get there

Not doing the forum much anymore but figured I'd do a update on the truck since I got a few projects finished today.
#1 I got my black pearl handles on and love them! Very glad I changed my mind and went with

I missed the handle page. What did you do to them?

#1 I got my black pearl handles on and love them! Very glad I changed my mind and went with the BBP.

#2 After many months I finally got the white tails I finished a LONG time ago on and thanks to my boy Demon making some fitment adjustments for me, they fit perfect now nice and tight.

#3 double checked my header bolts to make sure none came loose and by god not a single one came even a hair loose (because I'm the ****) lol!

#4 while I had my wheels off I went ahead and cleaned the back side of my rims which were nasty from my old brakes and all that dust. Also cleaned my suspension and greased everything.

#5 took my muffler off and ghetto fabbed some pipe to fit my turndown and still be long enough to reach the hanger so now it's straight piped'ish. It sounds AMAZING lol at full throttle it is ear piercing haha I love it! Absolutely Zero popping, it's definitely staying this way. I got my batteries for my camera charging and I'll do a exhaust video tomorrow [emoji106]

And yes I cut the hanger down lol just took the pic before I was done
