I knew if i pushed you a little you would get it done lol. Looks good. we must of bought our trucks about the same time. Looks like you got a head start. I must be the slacker lol. I want to put on the Nitto terra Grappler's but the truck came with a brand new set of tires. I already put over 9000 miles on them in 2 months. I got a long way to go to wear them out. Well the front tires anyway. I put about 20000 on the rear lol.

Haha yeah if you would not of pushed me, my exhaust would still be sitting in the office and I would still have my old sig pic up! Your truck looks really great with the stripe! My girlfriend always looks over my shoulder while i am on the computer and she was like look at Jerry showing off his stripe in his sig and that I aint got a decent pic up yet! lol. Wow you put on 9000 miles the past 2 months? Where the heck ya been going to? And I hear ya about wearing out the back tires! The only other truck I have had (97 Ford Ranger) was not that powerful, I never knew a truck could be fun to drive till I got this one!

I just have to take some better pictures with a good camera. The phone cam doesn't work so good. I'm an estimator for a large construction company and for the past 6 months i have been on the road looking at projects around the state. we've been bidding on everything they got out so we cann keep all our guys busy. Now that we picked up enough jobs to keep us busy i'm going on vacation and put some more miles on it with my camper attached.

I need a camper top for when we go on vacation and stuff, the wife does not like the dog riding in the truck bed unless it is enclosed (and that mutt ain't riding inside with us!), otherwise I would not have it on, but I really need one. You have no drone inside the cab at highway speeds with the magnaflow?

I am just kidding. Your truck looks great just how it sits. The bed stripe used to be more of a street truck kind of thing, but it really looks good on just about any setup. But blacking out a truck, then throwing a bed stripe of a different color would look a little out of place I think. (thats just my opinion, It might be because I really like the direction you went, and all the work you did to get it there. much props man.)
thanks eric.... ya, i thought about it for a brief second or two, but i like the clean look it has now, so no bed stripe for me, especially not in a different color, but everyone else's rides look great with them

@ Jerry yeah you deserve a vacation after all that driving! I thought I drove alot sheesh you got me beat by a lot.

@ Jkeaton, yeah I hear you! I would not want a dog in my car either! As far as drone at highway speeds I do not know, I do not drive the truck that often and have not even had a chance to take it on the highway yet. Just quick acceleration to about 70 and quickly back down to the speed limit on regular streets. On regular driving there is a little bit of a drone if you hold the engine in a small range of rpm's. Its very little and does not bother me. My way of driving does not hold me in that small range of rpms anyways so it is very rare i hear it. The exhaust is loud though (in a good way ), my girlfriend heard it in the house when I was way down the road and thought I had been driving my corvette which has true dual magnaflows with dual mufflers. So for me the loud aggressive sound outweighs the minimal and avoidable drone. I do not listen to the radio while i drive or if i do it is talk radio so if I did not like the muffler or sound inside the cabin, I would not hesitate to have it taken off and throw it in the trash.... its only $90. However I like it and am glad I got it!


@ Dodge trucker. I agree your truck looks better without the stripe then it would with one. lol
