Sorry, I just snapped the one at the gas station. The other side had some scuffs too, but I really like the SR5 stripes that are just barely visible in the different color paint. I took at peek inside and he had the SR5 gauges too.

What do you guys think, 5:29's or 4:88's?
Someone told me 5:29's don't hold up quite as well..

This was my truck, did you get it on friday harbor? It was white and stock when i got it and painted it green and black. The reverse doesn't work so good. Your avatar pic is in my driveway!

Rozzi: truck is looking awesome..
is that an ARB up front? 33x9.50's? I would love to build a truck for my kids with a similar set up. I would probably end up claiming the truck

I bought this off a car lot around 10 years ago with a noisy tranny for $2500. Way to much at the time. Then I spent $200 on a junkyard tranny that turned out to be no good.Finally got a good trans for $500.Then the carb was acting up, I got mad at it ,so it sat in my back yard for about 6 years. About a month ago I put a weber on it , got it new for $230 and a screw fell out of one of the butterflies , sucked into the motor and did a bunch of damage. There went another $700. Just spent $1000 on new tires. I don't know what its worth but I've got a lot into it so far. The funny thing is I would do it all again because I love this truck. How stupid is that?
