That look sooo much better.



The bed cover is really ugly. You should meet me somewhere, and sell it to me, I'll take that ugly cover off your hands.

ya its a 5.9 but what i dont understand is why the 3rd gen 1500's went with the torsion bar setup??? i would prefer coils up front but these seem a lil beefier than the ones on my durango.



i think i will hang on to the bed cover for now, but.. i have some really nice fender flare/running boards for sale cheap.

Lose the bedcap. Stick some black nerf bars and a black brush guard or bull bar up front.
