I have a pair with the pockets.

Truck looks great,and I really like the GMC wheels on it.

What yellow is that? Looks alot like Mazda Competition Yellow. My grandpa and I painted our old project Mini Cooper that colour.

Truck looks good, would like to see more of that Vw in your sig though

They rub plenty... Like I said - enough to burn through the paint. I don't want to go to a pathfinder rear end, because I dont want to mess with gearing.

Can't seem to find much info on narrowing a mazda rear end, so I guess I will just have to tear it apart and find out for myself.

You can see a few more pics of it in this thread:

Thank you!

The yellow is not a specific color code or "name"... I brought in a pint of Rustoleum safety yellow and had the local PPG shop match it.

For some reason "the safety dance" started playing in my head when I read that. Hahaha

Progress looks sweet as hell. I really like it. THe shiny chrome really blends well and somehow tones down the bright yellow.

My wife stitched up a nice tweed headliner for me this morning... And we installed it this afternoon. Fairly simple job, but the results are amazing! My wife ROCKS...





And back to the burnt paint from tires rubbing... LOL!
