A local person i found on craigslist. $800 and i supplied the satin black paint. He supplied the paint for the metallic red color on the hood surround.

Old picture of what it use to be.

Well that pic is from 2008 and it went through some bad times after that. Several attemps of the handles being jimmed. Passenger side handle and latch was completly ripped off.
Also had some rear damage on both rear fenders, plus 7 years of general knick and chips from living in a rural dirt road area. So i wanted her make over look to blend in but also stand out. Dont know if that makes sense.

The tails i got them from AIRRAM when he offered color matched tails. I dont know if he is a vendor on this forum but i dont think he does them anymore
I still have the set somewhere.

Hey Lower Truck guys, I could use some help. Good ole Weed is kicking butt and we all know it is against the law of nature to lift 2wd trucks. But I have to amit those tall trucks do provide a good amount of shade. lol....
Question, how much tint can I get away with legally and is it enough to be worth getting some done?

Check with ur local pd. Here its 20% on ur front Windows. Anything behind the front windows is no limit. Now, if u live in a state that doesn't require yearly inspections, u can go as date as ur comfortab/e wutg. I have to strip my front two windows every year, in order to pass inspection. Lol.
