Ive had that since I bought the truck back in 04 and I have had NO issues with it. It has always stayed in place and never come loose anywhere. Back then in 04 there was nothing else to do to the interior and the all one color in the truck was very bland and boring. At least Ford made thiers with chrome accents and dual tone interiors.

I'll be honest and say I'm not big into lifted trucks that don't have some mudder tires, but your truck does look pretty good... Now time to get that dealer decal off the tailgate...
I know man. That decal has been on the removal list for some time but I keep saying I will get it off when I get the whole truck repainted. Thats been an off and on idea for some time. Good paint jobs just ARE NOT cheap.

Hope he doesnt drool down the side of your truck like mine do. That stuff is hard to get off sometimes.

One is for my air compressor, one WAS to my switched ground for my HU so I could play DVDs while driving but with the new AVIC I dont need that switch anymore so it is now an extra. The other switch is for my future Hellas I will be adding.

I go through so many threads on different boards everyday so I forgot who else did that but it made me wanna do mine. My chrome had become a bit stained from using things to clean the engine and it was time to do something about it.

So I sanded her down and painted her up. Thats flat black and clear both in high temp formula.

My compressor used to be in my toolbox but it got to where I needed the room so being we have several machine shops here at work, I got some SS and put it on the breakers and shaped it to where i wanted it. All the SS hardware came from work also. The air filter for it is plumbed back behind and up in the bumper so it stays dry. I keep an air hose in the truck in case i ever need it for my tires or anyone elses.

But looking at those pics I see I need to spray the bottom of my truck. Always something to do.

I enjoy looking at pics like that. You have put some real wrench time into your rig and while i may not agree on everything you have done, i appreciate your effort/time that you've put forth.

so the lift....you making room for larger wheels???

the dogs.....any dog I have seen in the bed of a truck usually love to hang over the ide and scratch it to hell??? You don't have any scratches that I seen? Do you have an invisible fence on the bed rail area...lmao
woodgrain....never liked it much which is the main reason i bought a Dodge over cheby or furd because they LOVE the woodgrain. Fiberglass and painted would look sick!

wish i lived in warmer climate. The salt would destroy an under truck tank unless it was all stainless or powdercoated..$$$$$
sweet ride overall and I don't see any Halo's which means no HID's yet.......lol

I was going to work on my HIDs more this weekend but my end mill bits came in so i might be at work working on some other projects. I know thats not helping but this other project could make me a little money when Im done whereas the other only cost money.

My dogs used to like to hang over the truck but I quickly broke them of that habit. I also got scared they would fall over because they would hang out just that far. They dont ride on the toolbox either. No redneck riding in my truck.
