Thanks Tide,

I like it too... When I bought it I wasn't thrilled about two-tone, as my Cheby was black over grey.

But this one is growing on me... I love the black leather the best! Interior rocks, and it turns in tight places better then the Cheby too.

Hard to believe it was washed yesterday, and garaged all day. Thats a 10 mins drive worth of grime.

I like your truck and your "Mod's" The 2.5' leveling can't happen until I move out of my town house... Then I'll get some more meat for the rims.
HELLA grille first up, then some mirrors and interior work.

Tide,
It's a mono-chrome package. Grill, Door Handles, Tailgate Handle, & Mirror Caps are all white, from the factory...

Im considering changing the door handles. Not sure if I want Black surround with chrome handle, or white surround with chrome handle.

When I put the Hella grill in, I'll leave the trim ring white, with a black H insert.

I think eventually Im going to put the 07' OEM Telescopic Trailer Tow Mirrors on. (Still researching if the driver side is auto dimming.)

So basically, I'm going away from the mono-chrome somewhat.

Hobbes,

Where are you from? Enjoy your weather, it sucks trying to keep a truck clean in the winter.

But if you really miss it this might give you a laugh:

It sucks trying to keep a black truck clean out here as well. It rains all the time and there are so many cars on the road that the truck gets road grime thrown up on her all the time. I really need to get out and wash her today though because it's actually nice & sunny outside.

That was a good video. HAHA. Well, to answer your question. I am originally from Fargo, North Dakota. Right now, I am in Hawaii. No snow herejust dirt and a whole lot of rain.

Sooooo........ it's the snow plow man that puts all that snow at the bottom of the driveway. *****.

Rain today. Calling for thundershower too. I am not too sure that Canada ever had thundershowers on XMas Eve before. Weird friggin weather to be sure.


TungstonTiller, I know what you mean about keeping your ride clean. I know that eventually someone little ***** is going to write "WASH ME" on the side of my truck.

Although I do have my own pressure washer. So I can clean my truck during the spring, summer and fall. Otherwise, we have to shut the water to the outside bibtap, so that it doesn't freese.

A friend of mine, NEVER washes his truck. EVER. He said that if his truck needs to be cleaned off, mother nature will take care of that for him. Now, I must admit, for someone that never washes his truck, it doesn't look half bad.

There is going to be lots of puddles to get the truck dirty today. I am not exactly looking forward to the dirt on the truck. sigh... but I must admit, I do love splashing other cars as I drive thru the puddles! ha ha

Yep, lots of rain that makes it tough to go out and wash the truck. Earlier this year they got 43 straight days of rain in Feb/Mar, lets hope that doesn't happen again.
