Sick of having to fix my junk, this one won't need to be fixed for awhile besides little stuff like de-beanerization ( removing taped on chrome shit ) and adding window tint.

So far, I love it.

Nice score, I really like that style of truck with a 6 Litre gas engine.
I like that grille better than the newer "slant eye" grille as well, the newest style and grille pwn all others.

Its nice not having to fix junk or worry about making it across the nation without problems.

That chrome rocker molding as much as I hate it doesnt look to horrible, it looks like the factory style and like its in good shape.
The lund hood vents ? well meh I guess
Even as gay as caps are that looks like a really nice high end "capper". :rolf
Kinda looks burbanish.

How many miles on the truck?

I was driving like an asshole in the snow yesterday, pounding the gas at every green light and covering everyone with snow. My bad if I got anyone on here ;-)

Ofcourse, it wouldn't be my vehicle if I didn't have something break on it once a week.

Damn stone cracked my windshield today, went from a 2 inch crack to a 5 ft crack about 10 seconds after the stone hit. Just my luck.

Real shitty, had the windshield tinted yesterday for 60 bucks. So now its going to be 250 ish for a new windshield and I eat the cost of the tint I JUST paid for.

That sucks but unfortunatly it has happened to me with EVERY new vehicle ive ever purchased other then my current truck.

Im still chuckling over Mr. "id never own a 4x4" buying this one. You should sell it and buy my Vmax when it gets traded in! :banana1:

damn pork. thats almost out of place in ur driveway. almost like a honda in willie g's garage. i like it the truck is bad ass nice ride!

pOrk
01-22-2008, 10:26 PM
Haha I know I know. I knew I was going to catch wind as I have been anti 4X4 forever, but it is good fun and these trucks are not easy to find in 2wd. Trust me, I was looking.

I would much prefer the diesel, but like I said in that other thread I am assuming it is far beyond my price range.

It barely fits in my driveway.

Can Tom tune these? I need a mpg tune :)

yup, he sure can, but its best to do supporting mods, such as exhaust and maybe let the intake breathe a little better.

Not putting exhaust on, don't like loud and obnoxious exhaust on new stuff.

^ looking for aftermarket black wheels for it, and hopefully I can find someone with a black bumper that wants chrome so I can trade up. Then get my grille painted black, rear bumper painted black, and I need to re-tint my windshield and I should be good to go for now. Can't wait to get new rims so I can flip the tires, I hate seeing the raised white letters. GAY

How is driving with the windshield tinted? I always thought about it but couldn't decide if I would like it or not. Every car I have had has been tinted either 15 or 20%. When I pick up my Dad's Yukon, I am going to have the fronts matched to the rest, but would also consider doing the windshield.

pOrk
02-05-2008, 10:10 PM
If you call them, tell them Eric with the Black Crew Cab told you it was this much, and he will do it for you too.

The windshield at 50% and the side windows at 15-20 is awesome. From the inside of the car, it doesn't really look tinted but from the outside you can kinda tell. Reduces glare a ton, and its not too dark at night. A few people told me to go 35%, but that would be too dark for sure on the windshield.
