here is my new dd. 02 xl, 2.3, 5 speed. no frills at all except a/c. i really like the new twin cam 2.3 a lot better than the older versions.





i just removed and painted my grille with some duplicolor trim paint thanks to the grill removal thread i got off this site. what a help you guys have been already.
the before pics are on my camera. i will add them later.

 

Good looking truck!

You should do the same to the bumper.

 

Great little truck you got there!

i agree with Kris paint the bumper gloss black and use duplicolor bumper paint on the lower valance, it will look mint. You could also to the wheels black

 

yeah, now the bumper cover looks crappy. lol. after i do that the paint will look like **** compared to the bumper and i ain't got the cash for a repaint. the never ending circle.

 

A good AIO polish and wax would fix that though.

 

Nice truck!

 

Nice solid looking truck!

 

overall i am pretty cool with it, but i have noticed some weird cupping wear on the inside of the right front tire. it just passed a missouri inspection, but for 12$ those guys do lots of shortcuts. i guess i need to check the front end out. the truck has 109k on it.

 

here's the before pics of the grille. i have no idea what was going on with it, but soap, water and scotch brite didn't do much to change things so i just cleaned and shot it with duplicolor trim paint.
