*not trying to be a jerk, that's just a ridiculously nice vehicle for your first ever. I wouldn't have even trusted myself with that at 16-17
Most people never have a vehicle that expensive in their lifetime

Well you take damn good care of it at least, from the looks of it.
Have you rolled it while driving home drunk yet? Seems like all the cool kids roll their cars these days

Funny, I've actually helped a few of the people I know who've rolled their SUV's and pickups. I have pics somewhere. None were drunk, but most were driving like idiots. My brother had to downgrade to a cheap truck because his dirty driving record (stunting, speeding and 1 at-fault accident) no longer allowed him to afford his newer car. I learned early that driving like an idiot and abusing my vehicle/driving privileges means it's gone, period. I would no longer be able to afford to drive it.

Plus, I've been told that I'm not one of them "cool kids" so I think that disqualifies me from rolling my truck drunk! I only like to drink when I'm at home or have a DD at a party anyways. Going drinking without money for a cab or somebody to come pick you up always means trouble.

I still say pictures don't do it justice. Pretty awesome truck in person!

A nice set of rubber really sets off a trucks appearance! Looks great.

It's true, isn't it? These tires don't look that great until you really take a look at the detail. They are super tough in person. I'm thoroughly enjoying them!

Indeed! It's an attention getter now. Thanks for the compliments!

I might try and see if I can make them power fold somehow by opening them up and playing with some servo motors. Couldn't care less about power extend, but power fold would be a huge asset for fitting into my garage bay.
I had a hard time getting into mine to run my running light wire. Had to break a few clips and such. Can't tell unless you know though

Hmm. And is there any room in the area where they swivel for some sort of servo motor or actuator?

Not sure, depends on how big of a motor. You'll have to find a way to add gears or something as well. The detents may also pose an issue as they are a bit "firm", for lack of a better word. Had to drill a hole in the aluminum back plate that's behind the foam to get the wire through too but that wasn't a huge issue, just filled it in liquid tape.
