Lots Of Parts $$$

I'm sure allot of you can say this. It's official I have spent more in parts than I paid for my truck. Just put my tailgate that I scored last Saturday on. The first pic is from the first day I got my truck and the second is from today.

Re: Lots Of Parts $$$

Looks much better.
Any chance that rear bumper is getting replaced?

Yes at some point I would like to replace both the front (it is painted) and back bumpers with chrome.

That bumper is to make sure you have time to finish your beer before you feel the impact of someone rear ending you

Re: Lots Of Parts $$$

I've got a big ol' cutom step bumper on mine too. I'll eventually take it off, blast it, and repaint it. No way will I ditch it.
