Why does it always say that I'm not allowed to vote in polls?

Voted for Zanethan. He has put a lot of time and effort into his truck so he deserves it IMO. Not taking anything away from the other two though.

alright ill be first then, got the truck back in oct of 08 stock looked like this

sorry bout the crap quality, its old
but first thing i did was ditch the bug guards then the running boards to give it a cleaner look
i then installed a flowmaster super 44 system which ive modifided now to dump before the axle as well as a brush guard as well as two 130w kc hilites



then came the bedliner i did myself took 14hrs to hand sand the bed down to primer to guarantee stickage

after that it was some vht nightshades to black out the brake lights


then the rims cause my tires dryrotted and the rims and tires were cheaper than getting new tires lol they are 18'' moto metals, wrapped in nitto nt420s


then the tool box kobalt chest that is pretty much a perfect fit, just had to lift it up a little


lets see after that my truck failed inspection cause of the light guards so i just ditched those


then i got myself xmas presents in the form of a superchips 3715 tuner and touchscreen dvd headunit i got cheap off newegg


ive also removed the clutch fan and done the tcm mod, blue led guages
and a k&n intake, as well as rancho shocks and tint



thats about it so far future plans r a fastman throttle body. right now its just reg mantanence that is draining the wallet
here are some misc vids

Nice Trucks Gents...
I voted for Zanethan, a bit of an 'advantage' over the other guys, only because he's "done" with the truck now. ...or maybe that's a disadvantage?...

Either way, y'all have some great looking machines.
and I don't know what it is about those Cragars but they really look sharp on a dak.

Ideally if I can find a set for my 2WD that look good, and aren't too much of a killer on the wallet, I'll be gettin' 'em. I want to make this truck black n' blue only.

the only thing not black or blue on the truck right now is the interior (fabric is grey) and the rims... (stock 15s)
