    I saw that the first day you posted it. I like everything about it. Wheels, rack, paint etc. Looks like a lot of money and time pored into it. The truck is tight, Congrats!

    Hey Matt, nice rig.
    I've got a similar Alpine head unit that I hooked up a rearview camera to. Instead of running it with the power from the reverse lamp I hooked it up the the rear defroster power. This let's me use it as a selectable full time rearviewer.
    Just an idea for you.

    There's no 'I' in denial.

    I know I said Alpine, but it's actually a Pioneer. Either way, the full time rearview is a good idea! I'll look into it. I can't seem to get the blutooth to work on this receiver though. The PO may not have installed the blutooth transmitter. I have to tear into it and see what's going on back there.

    Thank you sir! I am proud to own it. She sure is a head turner. I love driving it. If it didn't drink so much fuel I'd just drive it around all day. lol

    The under carriage looks good. Not banged up or anything. Looks like it hasn't seen too much offroad action, at least nothing crazy. No rust to speak of. I think this thing spend a little time in the southeast before it came to AZ. The Odo shows 126K.

    Don't get me wrong, there is a bit of surface rust here and there, but no rot or damage at all. I paid $6990 before taxes and all.

    $7k is a decent price imo, that thing is a beast! assuming nothing goes wrong w/ the engine, trannt, etc in the next few months... i'd say you got yourself a keeper! congrats man.
