Nope, when I bought the truck I paid $3k for a warranty but decided it didn't cover much of anything so I canceled it and was going to use that towards bullet proofing (was going to sent it to GA to Bill Hewitt and let him dealerproof it) but I decided I'd do that if the engine pops. It made it to 170k miles stock so there's no reason to change it on a thought that it might blow. Maybe it blows tomorrow and I spend a lot of cash to fix it, or maybe it never blows before I sell it and I save the money. Crap shoot either way but I know if the headgasket blows then the cab needs to come off and the heads come off just like if I were to do ARP head studs so I just don't see a reason to do it prematurely.

I decided my sanity was worth more than the canopy so I sold it. The guy I bought it from broke the back glass so he replaced it with plexiglass, but he got curved glass and the frame is straight so the glass would never go on the frame right and kept popping off. I doubled my money on the deal so I'm pretty happy lol.

Yeah I liked the way it looked, I was just caught in a situation where I just couldn't deal with the back glass so it came down to spending hundreds to fix it even though I barely use it, or just get rid of it. I put it on Craigslist for a price I didn't think anyone would even consider and to my surprise someone bought it within a month lol.
Now I want something I can stand up in so I'm looking at this canopy (yes canopy, not camper).
Trouble is that they make these in California and I don't think they ship them. Spacekap wanted like $7k, and this one is $2,239 brand new.

It's been a while since I've updated this thread, I got new emblems on the grill, steering wheel, and tailgate as well as a taller canopy, 20% tint on the front windows, 4" turbo back exhaust, and a set of 18x8.5 American Eagle Alloy Hardrock series 0168 wheels, then I had to paint the hubs because they looked pretty bad against the wheels.
