    I'll tell you right now, you have the PERFECT slate. 4.0L 5speed 4x4....best drivetrain you coulda found. It's clean (ish) and not all dented up.

    the worst part of the entire truck is the frame..

    I really need to get it painted soon, i dont want it to rust apart, the body of the truck is mostly flawless

    I dont know how you can feel that way man. Look what you did to your truck. YOU did it...not anyone else. Its a nice truck man, you did alot of great work so you shouldnt feel that way at all

    As for rust prep on the frame, do NOT use rubberized undercoating. It traps water and rust's out your frame even faster. Use Chassis saver or POR15 only

    Agreed! Colin...get the POR15 on ebay, it is well worth it dude.

    Oh and the only thing I dont like on the truck is the little flag mirrors...ditch them and get some 06+ mirrors!

    Yeah the only thing I think you should change would be the mirrors. I like the rims a lot and the cab lights are sick.

    why the heck would you be embarressed of that truck, you started with a nice stock truck and made it awsome, there's not another 3rd gen quite like it.

    personally, i love the wheels. after seeing them on your truck, i'm seriously considering buying a set for mine.

    Truck is Awesome! Love me a 3rd Gen!
     
  17. Colin, if anyone should be embarrassed, it should be me. My truck came in here as the biggest POS with everything going wrong on it. I really like your truck and actually wish I had one like it. Don't feel bummed out just because people have bigger & better trucks. Nobody thinks any different of you just because your truck ain't lifted ten inches and running 38s. Everybody has their own truck and their own style man, and this one suits you perfectly.
