I made sure everything was tight this time


Took the truck out to my parent's place and drove it around in low, double low and high range and everything seems to function as it should
Saw a few of these guys

Yes, pics on real dirt. Even though it was just a couple of hours at mom and dad's it was nice find that everything worked.
Side note, some short poacher is out a nice tree stand. Dad found this down by the stream

I really like black rims on most trucks, except your color. The color of the truck is rad with the black accents, and I think the coordinated rims look excellent.

Went ahead and painted the d/s rims to match the truck. Not sure if I like it or not.

Hmmmmm... YEP, seriously.... Take more pics in better light(less white noise, unlike the first pic which is perfect color/contrast, right?) ....and get the tires clean, just for one pic... I GUARANTEE it will look so much different!

BTW, ... The more I look the more I like it... But I really need to see more of the front end in the shot, too... You wont always just be looking from the side, right? hahaha.

Just read all 40 pages. I love it, great work!

More topical... I really like the rims matching the body, personally.
