The Stereo just quit working one morning so I replaced it with a Pioneer Deck and 600 watt Amp

Thats all I did while I was paying it off, a month after I did on 2.15.09 a tree fell on my truck in the middle of the night, pic looks alot worse than it was new tailgate and a drivers side mirror and she was good to go

I lost my stock bed liner after the tree so I had line-x spray on put in, my tailights were also cracked from the tree, swaped em for these oem red clear

Headlights Got really beaten up from going to the Snow so my Brother MaK92-4RnR & I put some Blacked Out Headlights and Corners on





Didnt have any floor mats so i got some weathertech ones

Got My lift Kit put on this weekend with the help of my brother MaK92-4RnR & dark_fairytales, Toytec 3" 650lb coilovers & All Pro Rear Leaf Kit with 5125 Shocks


Old Shocks & Springs

My Brother Puting Passenger Coilover in
