Thanks man. I'll look them up in a little while.

Yeah I like this color too. Really wanted navy blue but got a better deal on this one. Lol

 

[derekp]

Picked up a little something. Should have it back and painted within a week or so.

Like that hood a lot! Which make is it?

 

[derekp]

I actually have no idea. I got it off of craigslist for a steal. Lol

Coming along nicely.

I like the painted grill.

So I put my stock hood on craigslist last night just to see if I could get any bites. My new hood isn't ready yet but I jut wanted to see. I already had somebody this morning that wants it and even wants the grille. I want a new mesh grille anyway so I'm considering just letting him take both. I'm not sure the laws here though about driving without a hood. Lol probably have to tell him to wait a little bit...

I like the painted grill.

Thanks man. It's still not totally what I want but it'll do for now.

Some pictures of my Klein train horns. These things scream. I need to buy some rear wheel well liners to hide them better.

I finally got around to installing my outlet for my radio. Had to take apart the console and run it under the carpet all the way to the radio. It was a total pain in the ass but I like that it is hidden.

Also my hood is ready, should have install pics soon.

Been trying to decide what do to with the hood scoop hole on the truck. I already have a cold air intake and I don't want to take a chance on getting water in the motor. I think I'm going to put a 12" single row light bar in the hole, like the mega ram runner has. What do yall think?

Also, been trying to build my ram runner bumper but I've been failing miserably. I decided to just order the one I want through my work. Should be here friday. Little more than I wanted to spend but worth it in the long run. Wayyy more stout than the stock bumpers.

 

[derekp]

So the damn bumper is onback order. No idea when it'll arrive. I ordered a superchips cortex 3950 for the truck too. They said I should have that Monday.

Updated pics of the truck.

Got my cortex programmer in today. Love this thing.
