You did a great job on it, take it to one and see what happens, my 97 2-door Jeep Cherokee, I took to a car show and got 3rd place for 4x4's out of 5 that were there, I sold it a little while later :{ and in late 80's and early 90's I took my low rider B2200 to car shows, never placed, but had a blast :}

Take it in the spring and summer and I swear you'll have fun :}

i have a bit of bad news, that surprise i was talking about got stolen
it was a camper shell that was on my dads old 83 longbed pickup, i was going to attempt to "bob" it to make it fit but oh well i suppose...I guess i will be putting my rollbar back in and welding a mount on it for my cb antenna so i can finally use that again...

yeah the only reason i wanted the topper was for when hunting season is in so i would have a place to put my guns and gear in to clear up space in the cab for a passenger

$80 bucks is a good price for a full cluster if it's free shipping and if it's from a 22R-E donor truck and it's an electric speedo/no-cable truck and not damaged, and get lots of pics all around, I've had to order items from dealer and e-bay for parts, just sometimes you have too, I know it sucks!!!! I just shelled out $80 bucks for a dash part I couldn't find a second time after first piece I found cracked because it was brittle from UV damage, sucked! but I had to bite the bullet!!!! Good Luck buddy!!!!

There is a guy that has, what looks to be, the same exact roll bar on craigslist. I was debating on going to buy it, but now I freaking have to because of how awesome it looks in your truck.
