    Wats up everyone. Kinda new here but never did post up pictures of my poor old truck..So here she is after she was bodied and painted. (F#@*ing ripoff):

    I was excited because she was the first truck with my name on it. I got her for $500 and was happy. So happy I decided to make her body look better which was a mistake on my part because I didn't know when was her last check up with Doctor feel good. Due to bad economy on this small rock I live on, the first image was taken on that camera I did not own...So....To make a long story short...She was bodied and painted black and blue..Then by accident I wrecked her...Got up one morning, started her up (with only a towel to cover me), Popped the hood open to check the radiator.....as I took off the radiator cap, she started rolling down the hill. I held on for dear life, forgetting that she was much heavier and that I was half naked.....at the same time yelling at my wife to jump in and pull E brake..Instead she pulled me back and yelled to let go before I hurt myself....with a passion I said,"NO!" My wife watched me and my new baby roll down the hill...:looney:......So with the hood open, me half naked, my baby hit a plumeria tree and sustained a massive tail trauma..I hit the top of my head on the hood and my forehead read V6 3.0 EFI...Hands were in pain but what hurt even more was that my baby was damaged.

    Here is the rest of the pictures. Although sad but true, I hope the story put a smile on your face.

    I would really appreciate any advice or ideas on how to make my truck stand out from the rest..

    Thats a real bummer to hear man. I like the truck too! To make it stand out you can do many things.

    -Lower it
    -Rims
    -Add to the motor
    -Sound system
    -Lift it
    -white walls
    -Any other ideas

    haha

    Well, welcome again. I know the feeling of watching helplessly when something like your truck gets away from you. How bad is the damage to the bed? I'm guessing the tailgate is toast since you've removed it.

    So, you are on the island of Saipan? I would love to see some pics of the island truck scene. Including where you hang out and cruise. With 44 square miles, a Saturday night cruise would cover most of the island...

    Yeah Man. You asked for suggestions to set yours apart, I was wondering what the others look like so we could decide what would set yours off.

    And what are the roads like there? Hopefully better than the majority of the ones I've been on in Costa Rica...

    I'm into simple bueaty...Not a big fan of shiny stuff....I am happy how low lilopar is right now...no plans on lowering her more...
    Basically, I want the paint job to stand out (Two Tone). Nice blue black interior with sun roof (if I can find some1 to do that for me). good engine to back up the beauty. Nothing big like a 305 or 350 chevy engine in it ( I wish). I'm just another simple guy who wants to be different...

    The roads here on the island are alright I guess..Roads are being paved as the years go by...but I do occassionally go to the farm to feed some pigs and cows. so yeah, I do encounter messed up roads (only reason why I dont want to lower my baby).

    Oh yeah, I was called out last week (we call it "one time" which is basically racing) but I backed out..Racing here is not permitted and I don't want no fellow officer of mine to catch me in the act....But perhaps one day when no one is looking and I am prepared for it as well...For now I just want to look good cruising in Lilopar.
