No reason for one, just enjoy it, and drive it like you stole it. And watch those mpg's drop just like I do.

Nice job on the sub box.

It just me or are the front tires scrubbed? Maybe an alignment would help?

I'd get hold of the guy that spilled paint all over the interior and put the boots to him!

Superchips would wake it up a bit, but you can used the canned tunes. Nothing needs to be custom.

You're in California running those mods? Surprised the state hasn't confiscated your truck by now.

I do like the mount for the trans cooler and CAI. Looks solid and well done.
