Let me know if you guys have any thoughts for additions.




Truck turned out great TXAG07...nice job on all the mods!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Desert, thanks for the recomendation on the Readylift 1.5" and your truck convinced me to get the Duratracs.

Anybody else have input on the mirrors? All ptm, ptm/chrome caps, leave it?

Glad I could help some!

As far as the mirrors go, they blend in really well since your truck is black. But if you are dying to do something to them, I think PTM caps would look really good too, but not chrome caps.

Thanks for your input. I'm having trouble making up my mind on what to do......

I'm liking all the Aggies on here Gig'Em 07
I'm looking for a tool box like that as well, think you could take a pic it from behind your truck to show how far it goes down into the bed, I have a 5.5' box so I'm limited a bit on choices for deep boxes. Good looking truck btw!

Kenny,

I'll try to take some pics with measurements during lunch if the rain lets up. In the meantime, you inspired me to update my thread with some pics

I love the covers. The look and feel factory. If your **** like me, you can see around the edges where its a cover, but I'm the only one that notices. Everyone that get's in the truck comments on how awesome my leather seats are. They actually make the seats more comfortable with the foam backing that the covers come with.

I also had a Viper 5704 remote start/alarm installed. It has a great range and I really like the shock and glass break sensors for added security.

Truck looks good. How are you liking the duras? How much of a difference do you notice with the new wheels and tires?

Thanks man. I'm loving the dura's. They may be the best tire I've ever had on a truck. They are quieter, smoother, and handle better than my last set of Nitto Trails and look better than any AT tire I've had. Since the sidewall is a little thinner than most it makes them ride better and decreases the weight. They weigh right at 59 lbs which is light for an aggressive tread 33.5" tire and 10 lbs more than my stock tire. With the level and this setup I've lost around 1 mpg but I'm also tuned. My truck felt slower (bogged down feeling) after install which is to be expected some, but the tune cleared that right up Now I've got the itch to go bigger

Thank you sir. Nah, normally just hang out on the truck forums, but I need to pay a visit over there. Definitely one of my hobbies. I'm ready to put to use my new Diamond the wifely got me for X-Mas
