Truck's comin along nicely bro! You're gonna love the tow mirrors, hope you ordered oem's!

Thanks man! Yes it is! I did get oems. But my mom didn't get me the power heated sets which my stock mirrors came with which kinda sucks so I wonder if there's a way I can make them power and heated? If not I'm not complaining

Thanks man! I'll have pics for sure when it's done. Gonna do it Friday for sure. I have exams and my night class tomorrow or I'd start then. But work and school comes first I guess and the truck is reserved for Saturdays and Sunday's. Lol

Alright guys. So riddle me this I changed the tranny pan filter last weekend and all was fine. Until today! I smelled burnt tranny oil on my way in the neighborhood so I parked her and looked under te truck and the tranny pan was wet and none of the bolts were tightened?! Da fuuu*k?! So I tightened em back up an let it run in neutral after filling it with fluid for about ten mins and all seems well now but I found it very eerie that this happened a week after the repair

Well the rear bumper is being a B having seen 14 years of Indiana winters and road salt so im just cutting the bumper off at the bracket and then gonna clean up the cuts and get to the roll pan!!! Pics will be up sometime today!! Also found two brand new cans of Plastidip around so was thinking of doing the V looking cutout on the hood what do you think??

I think the hood thing would look cool, I say go for it, can always peel it off.

Some black JJ lights with blue shrouds would be killer too.
