that surf is pretty awesome, but i agree with crbocaj, the hood scoop is not my cup of tea (no pun intended). Other than the hood the truck is sick, great job!

the dual snorkels are an interesting approach. The black on black with the bumpers and sliders are definately better than with the neon green...
Curious about the brand of tire, doubt they are available in the states but they have got a cool tread pattern...
Oh yeah your steering wheel is on the wrong side
Have fun and post up some wheeling shots when you get the chance....

i really like the snorkels
how many times a week do you get asked what they are? or do you hear people say they are speakers, exhaust, camera's? it almost makes me want to take my snorkel off and do the internal snorkel thing!! now i just need someone to run into my right fender....

Wow, very nice build!
Unfortunatly I have to agree on the hood, the kinda wavy look is wierd.
Would have tried to smooth it in better and make it one err.. bump
any videos?
