Well I guess on the bright side, at least now you have more justification for getting the paint done when you do have enough saved up.

Is it a really long scratch? Or just deep?

Not very long. I'll get pictures when I'm not on tapatalk.

Sadly garner I don't have 500 bucks to shell out for my deductible right now. Oil change, and tranny fluid change are due next week. Maybe next pay check but I don't see it in the cards very soon. Plus I can't afford to lose my truck for any amount of time since it gets me to and from the job site.

Duplicator has a ford grey that's really damn close, a bit darker but the molar pen won't match unless they scan the paint
Nice cause they're only a couple bucks
I wish I had picture to show you

then yesterday, 5/14, was the day I bought this truck so to celebrate our one year anniversary I cleaned her up nice and bought her some window tint.

5% on the front, 15% over the factory back tint making it 5 all around. and an 8'' brow with 5% on the windshield. I love it so much. favorite mod so far. I dont know how I drove a vehicle without it.

Sorry to hear about them not wanting to let you see the tapes. That's ridiculous. But those are some awesome mudding pics and that tint job is badass!

Probably going to put a deposit down a carli suspension this week. The shop offered to rent me a car for three days when it's being worked on. But 18 hours of labor seems like a lot for the suspension system and the front end kit.

Which kit are you going with?? I think you could handle the install yourself if you have the time or are you getting ball joints and stuff getting replaced too?

was going to go with performance 2.0 or 2.5 I was going to do the carli front end upgrade as well but their suspension systems are on a 4-6 week wait right now.

any one have any other suggestions on a good quality lift? leaning towards bds now.

and maddog are you talking about the tint? it took just a little over 2 hours.

Really like how the truck looks. I'm surprised they'd throw 5% tint on your truck in Denver.
I really like my 20%, but during the day I do wish it was darker.

I've heard of new ceramic tint? Supposed to block the sun far better.
Might have to look into getting the truck redone.

Are you looking for a 3" lift
Short of the Carli sway bar, thuren sells top notch components too
I've been hearing Lorenz thrown around with those names too

well I ordered some parts today.....

got a 6'' pro comp lift going in next friday with the fox 2.0 remote res shocks.


and more importantly. A new Trans! going with an ATS stage 5. I just cant beat having ATS right here to do the work for me and they hooked me up pretty good on some purple parts.

So you guys know what that means, more fuel and air is on the way. Twins anyone?
