Default Finally Photobuck'd the truck

First, thanks to those who showed support in the Jan TOTM, didn't think I'd place where I did. and congrats to SMKN on the win, however everyone had really nice rigs that showed just how different tastes we got.
Second, I'm still a noob and have trouble finding too much time to log in and converse a whole lot.
Finally, I took peep's advice and set up a photobucket account to try to get some better pics to post, next will be getting a sig together.

However, when I use the "insert image" button, and copy/paste the http into the box, all it gives me is a red "x" in a box.
How can I provide better pics, like the one's in the body of a post?

Default Got it figured out



Stoopid Noob that I am. Anyway, the truck is stock outside of the mopar steps, stripe kit, light covers and some trim black paint thrown on the tailpipe and radio antenna, bumper pad and tailgate wing (just to refreshen it up). Would like to get thae balck bars, and maybe black wheels but part of me feels the 20" chrome clads kinda pop withthe color scheme as is.
I think Teach said something about painting the chrome but didn't think it was doable, I'll have to search around.

That is a nice looking truck you have there. The chrome steps can be painted pretty easily, my steps started out as chrome and I just sanded them down real good, primed and painted.

I don't know. Was an FL truck, bought it used with the tint already installed. Dark tint was one of the criteria when I was looking around and yes, my mechanic is a good guy.

Thank you. Are your steps mopar brand, or aftermarket's? Probably makes no difference tho. Would you have a write up on that as far as grit #'s and whatnot? Seems like that mike be a painstaking task, as far as going around the pads and endcaps. If I can't find someone to swap, that will probably be the first mod I make.
