if you know what year and model the color you want came on then your local paint supply store should have chip books with each man. color codes, hope this helps!

whoa those tires are huge!!!

They might be too big! =( My truck was having issues turning them I think. hehehe... I think that there is not enough weight in the back as it sits right now. We will see... I am not going to buy the tires I want until I decide whether I am keeping the wheels or not.

dude those are some sick rims are they the black color chrome?

No, I think you are talking about the gun metal rims that momo introduced and I think everyone has them now...

It is probably just the lighting that makes them look dark like that. I will be posting more pictures today or tomorrow (with the front lifted) and I will try and get my white balance correct on the camera this time.

Ok, so I got some work done this weekend and took some pictures, but I can't for the life of me find my card reader.

So here's what I did (Pics Later):

I took care of some surface rust on the back cab wall...
Removed the window trim.
Sanded down the passenger side and hood
Removed grille, antenna, fender emblems, wipers and I am almost ready to start in with primer.

I purchased all of my paint supplies and as soon as I get everything masked off I am going to paint the cab with the bed off and paint the bed prior to putting it back on.

You may catch a glimpse of my new rear bumper to. I did put it in place just to see how it lined up.

Pics to come, sorry!

still waiting to find out what happened to those lens covers... any word on that situation?

Ok, it's been a few since I last updated because I have been prepping for paint, though I did get my new tails put together.

Here are a few pictures of them.
(I don't know if I am a fan of the reflectors on the Thailand imports, though =/)
