haha I kiteboard a lot and thus the need for wind. In the summer there never seems to be enough of it so we pray for it and we typically need all the help we can get. The decals are just black decals that I bought off of ebay for like $20. I wanted to keep them because I wanted highlights of black throughout the truck, we even painted the tool box flat black to match. the only gloss on it are the wheels and I might hit them with flat black but I'm still on the fence about that. Over the summer I plan on adding skid plates to the bottom and cranking the torsion bars and add 2" blocks in the back to get more ground clearance and maybe a lunch box locker for the rear.

yeah its a 3.9. I thought about swapping in he 5.2 but the 3.9 preformed well off road and had tons of torque so im holding off on that project for now. I'll be doing the write up later today for those interested.

Looks nice man! I think painting the wheels flat black would really go well with it.
