Default Need some advice

Alright guys, I've changed a few things on my truck since i first posted it, and its been about a week since i've been on here.. but as of right now this is what she looks like..




& yes it does say "momma's money" across the front windshield because i am 16 and the truck was handed down to me from my mom, when she got this..


but as of for my truck, i've been told i should put a black low profile toolbox on it, but i dont know wether or not to get black diamond plate or chrome diamond plate like my bed rails? or should i take the bed rails off? any other opinions on what mods i should do would be greatly appreciated.

I like those bed rails chromed out like that. They stick out and look clean.

You have a nice truck man. Lol I was drivin an 89 oldsmobile toronado when I was 16, with bad struts so it bounced like crazy rofl.

I love that hood you got bro. You know how much that was?

Thanks man, To be honest i have no clue, the truck was bought from dodge in 04 and mark 3 did a complete conversion on the truck and used it as a show truck then we bought it in 05, but ill look around for you and try to find how much they go for.

Haha I like your picture bc the truck is outside the garage and you can tell that it just doesn't fit. Mine barely fits in mine and it isn't even lifted. I want to lift it, but I prob won't bc I like to be able to go in parking garages and pull it in to my garage so I can work on it at night when it's not 105 outside.

Gotta love Texas

Oh wow! it fits?! Must be the angle of the picture, cuz it looks like there is no way it's going in there haha. The first time I ever took mine in a parking garage I was sooooo sketched out lmao. and when it started inclining I was like omg I am going to lose my roof noooooooo. Same thing when I pulled in my garage haha

Number one, your mom has great taste in vehicles. Your trucks looks good too, if I had to change one thing it would be to do like a few others said and do something with the chrome bedrails. That is one of the best looking 2wd lifted trucks I have seen in a long time.
