That truck has all kinds of potential. I'd get rid of that getto look tho. But yea, looks very clean

Did you check everything out under the hood at the cruise connections ? First check for leaks at the master cylinder/cruise. Check the safety harness. If you have a recall harness, it can be detached and checked on the bench. It has an inline 10 MINI fuse but don't dig it out if bad (they're all tapped up). Stop by the dealer and they will replace or fix for free.

For a 2wd family runaround. I would level it by lowering the back. It will look sharp with those wheels.

Nice truck. Although I don't care for the chrome fender flare bits. Those have always looked like came out of the discount section of the JC Whitney catalog. The wheels actually aren't as bad as I would have though.

I agree with getting rid of all the chrome, that's a nice truck and the chrome makes it look like it had a headon collision with Autozone during a dollar sale.

Its a street queen-show truck. Not an off road monster.

It would look better if it were somewhere in between the 2 IMO.

Leveled w/factory rims and nice tires

I'm bias tho, admit I have absolutely dislike for lowered trucks. I would never purposely cripple a truck.

i have added an AVS bug shield/ hood protector and i removed center caps of the rim s and painted them to match the truck
I would lose the chrome fender trim if the paint is good underneath. I would also paint the spokes of your wheels black and leave the chrome around the outside of the wheel if you intend to keep the 22's. Other than that it is a great looking truck.

I just checked under the hood. It is unplugged from the piece in the master cylinder and has a 2 amp fuse thats blown under all that tape.
