How do you get one of those panels below the tailgate to replace the bumper? Was thinking about adding one to mine to replace the rusting tetnis-machine attached to my truck. Would just need to mount the plate lights somehow.

What type of mods did you put into it, from the pic it only looks like you spray painted your rims black, and possibly threw some lowering blocks in her?

A sleeper rod isn't bad, I have a secret plan for mine which will be revoluntionary and pretty sick, but scared that people in turn might copy the idea so you'll just have to wait.

First one is my silly H.S days. Second one is when I thought I wanted to go all white. Third one is the present A12 wannabe look.


Beautiful truck. I wish my tonneau cover laid flat like that... I wanted to go with an all white, but i feel like it would show dirt too easy, so i went with black. Murder in the summer, touch the car and wind up in the burn ward.

Hope you enjoy.
I really like how you photographed the before pictures in the snow, and the new, in bright daylight. It amplified the transformation, but despite the special effects, it still is amazing, great work. I wish i had before photos of my truck to post here.

I would just paint them and thanks for the compliments, Though I am no where near what I want to do with it. I am redoing the body and covering the WHOLE fender where the tire shows, droppin the ***, saving and doing a hemi swap. Very easy to find engine. New paint and interior and renaming it DevilsDakota. Which for about 8G I can do here by travelling down to the states for my parts. ITs either that or quit and build my ac cobra instead which is 20G.
