Re: Before and after!

When I bought it. Blown engine, pretty much all original. Rear ended salvage title. Interior was immaculate. $800.


After a few dollars...new engine with vortec heads and new 4l80e for that overdrive...new glass, tint, trim tires etc.





Wanna lower it next

Madfish, I think I have a picture of your truck from a few years ago when I used to live in Murfreesboro. Think I saw at the Friday night cruise in

What color is that paint? It almost looks like a gun metal grey. Either way, it looks great. Thats the same color I would like to paint my Jeep one day

It is the original color of the truck, the paint code is 18, and the color is charcoal grey metallic. The new paint has much nicer metallic than the factory paint had. I drive by a old cj5 all the time that's the same color, its on about 35s and has aluminum diamond plate rockers, and rear corners. It looks very good.
