Damn Michael ... Why did you sell that pretty little regualar cab?
(I'm guessing you wanted to feel the power of the 4.0 SOHC)
I like Sonic Blue too ... that's actaully where I got my inspiration from. I was taking a part off of this Sonic Blue Ranger in Carrollton,KY and I just had to have a blue truck.

Ok I get the hint, if it's not raining this evening I'll back it out and take a few pics. Last night I got the tailgate put back together and installed the step bars. I'm planning on working on the bedliner this evening.

That looks really nice. It looks real shinny too, how many coats of clear did you use?
I'm glad it finally quit raining there so you could take some pictures.

Btw ... thanks for cleaning the wheels and tires and those chrome step bars look good with the wheels.

I did 3 coats of blue and 3 coats of clear. I used almost the whole gallon of paint and a whole gallon of clear. Of course thats counting the jams too. I didn't get any runs and I haven't noticed any dry spots.
