Nice. So that means you can bring those stepbars with you and I will take them off your hands. :biggthump

The truck looks good. Behind the grill looks a lot better. I like it better with the stepbars on tho.

cchsbuzz19 06-11-2009 07:28 AM

Rangerkid 06-11-2009 07:36 AM

dixie_boysles 06-11-2009 07:37 AM

nate_g_2003 06-11-2009 07:42 AM

Lol. The motto now days is "the cheaper the better". I ment to ask you in my last post what tourny are you fishing in? Pulaski County is only about 2 to 2 1/2 hours away.

dixie_boysles 06-11-2009 08:01 AM

its a night torunament up there in their watershed. only jonboats allowed (or atleast NO gas motors allowed on it at all!) i think its an open tourny from 7pm to 3am. we're taking two trolling motors and to batteries and a cooler with an aerator (have to keep fish helathy and alive) and a 14ft jon boat. you ought to come!

ClemsonRanger03 06-11-2009 08:09 AM

your front bumper isnt metal? dang i like those bumpers and thought about snagging one for my 03. NVM

technically it is--underneath, its like a car, bemper underneath with plastic covering (the red red painted part and valance)

the old ones were all metal with the valance bieng hooked to the metal bumper, the new ones just put the meatl bumper behind a plast fasag (or however you say it)

I would love too but I have to work 6a-6p so by the time I would make it down it would be almost over.
