Stop your killing me, thats still a good looking truck. That color paint of your truck is at autozone for $4.. Did you ahve to use black or something? Hopefully a warm weekend is around the corner, that would drive me nuts.

na i think ill keep the tires! thanks for the compliment!btw i think if you painted the bumpers and fender flares black it would look sweet with your truck until you get the paintjob, and yes, 75 degrees is awesome weather!

Not working on your truck when it's cold is no excuse. I have been working on mine all week in weather between 19* and 59*(59* was only one day).
