    lol ya it is. its not just for looks. the lady i got the truck from put these crappy bolts in the plate holes and they are rusted in. i havent gotten around to taking the sawzall to it, plus it looks a little jdm :cool:

    i will be repalcing it after i get some more moneys. im just taking it one step at a time since its my daily and i just ordered my lowering kit. i hate how it comes in two packages. my blocks should be here tomorrow according to the fedex man, but my lower c/a are gonna be here in 2-3 weeks. its just one of those little things that is a nuisance, but it will be all good wen it comes. i cant wait to sit lower

    lol thanks alot! i love how it looks now, its so much better

    price really. lol my cousin asked me the same thing
    lastnight wen i was getting out of my truck at work i my finger decided that it wanted to hang out in the door jamb a little longer than the truck liked so it bit it hard. so no i have to type like old men do with just two fingers

    yes, i think that before i go down to texas in july im gonna try and at least get the big dents in the bed fixed. once it cools down here in st. louis ill be getting on it some more. its just so hot and humid and i dont want to be outside sanding bondo in this type of heat
