I can appreciate many different looks, I like some black wheels, some non - black wheels, I like trucks with extensive PTM, like summers', I like trucks with well done 2 tone, you name it. Never been a big fan of chrome myself, but there are exceptions when not overdone. Sure, there's trucks I can't say I like, but respect the work nonetheless, and some trucks just make me stare and wonder what was going through their mind, but once again, to each their own. Anything that's got creative custom fab or paint work, I can really appreciate.

There's also a lot of very nice trucks out there that are nearly stock. Less can be more.

Only group of trucks that just make me just shake my head and turn away, are the ones that have a ton of high dollar mods slapped on, but you can tell at a glance that there's no real creativity involved, almost like they're just following the crowd. (Now I'm not referring to anyone on the forum at this point, just the various trucks you see all over the Internet and the roads) but, if they're happy, that's all that really matters.


When it comes to TOTM, it's kinda sad that being nearly new seems to give a truck an edge. The generation specific competition idea has its merits.

Ordered this for it
http://www.ebay.com/itm/111315416361

my key fob has no range anymore. I have to stand right next to the drivers side door for it to work. Just replaced the battery not too long ago so I dont think that is the problem. Plus this consolidates the key and the fob.

Rattle can bed liner has no UV protectant....those will fade to chalky white in under a year.....I sprayed it on my hitch and looked horrible a year later. Hope you have better luck than me.

Most likely right, if the fades I will either respray them or go another way. It was cheap enough that I ain't too worried.

I was one of you with my first one (2005 Lariat Scab) back in 2008.

Joined the 10th gen guys after that with an XLT Screw 4x4. Sold it in 2012ish.
