Sending the flares out to get painted to match tomorrow!!! Also, will get pictures of the storage box tomorrow as well for you guys.

Pulling the cap off this weekend, so I'll make sure to post pictures of it w/o a cap on it in its new form... I'm kinda excited to see how it's going to look.

No, the box will be only when I have the cap on. I have to take it off so the tint guys can redo my back window and it can dry properly this time.

Looks like a whole different truck, lol.

Yea, I'm going to like the painted flares.

And I think I'm going to pull this trigger on a cover here soon and keep the cap off for the summer. I like the look.

Those look good. See you're still rockin' it without the cap. When's the body lift in the cards?

Prolly the beginning of June I'll be putting the cap back on. I have to move first and want all that room plus I cheat and use the back window when towing the trailer.

Body lift will be happening after our NE GTG at Mohegan cuz I won't be able to fit in the garage if I do it now.

Also, ya, I like them painted to match a lot better. I also have a few more goodies that he sprayed for me too!!!! Pics to come.
