Nice truck mini, going to the 3.9:1? Are you swapping the gears within your current axle housing or replacing the entire thing? I have never seen those mirrors before!

And just little things here and there.

What size is your rims and what is the tire size?

Ok, try again from photobucket
Whew! That's not easy! Oh, thanks pink. I just saw your offer, after I got it done! I had to fool around with it in photobucket. Most forums I'm on make it very simple to just add photo as attachment, but here, file size is pretty small even for jpg. Anyway, that's me Dakota, as is not cleaned up, full of spring pollen. Old Man stock, Old Man toolbox on. But, she's been my all time favorite!

What'd you do, pink? That thing is cartilage stock (get tired of seeing "bone"). But, now I'm getting slight mod fever. Or maybe upgrade fever.

1. Paint job, black
2. Leather bucket seats, from VW, BMW, etc. new headliner
3. New window tint - you can see old stuff peeling on driver window

Can you not see the differences?? I used Photoshop to pull more depth of field blurring the background and I corrected the colors black is now true black and the colors are more vibrant, also made white a true white.

Once you start modding you will never stop if you have the mindset you can do anything you want.
