That area is my favorite...I prefer the small town/country areas but have close access to the big city stuff to do and work...if that makes sense..

We need more great trucks in Texas! Yours would fit in fine...

The truck came with the orange paint when you got it, correct? If so, have you done anything to the paint (except the door logo, which is OUTSTANDING!)?

FYI: Here is a link to Fredericksburg, TX web site...Great place...

I'd stay away from Houston and Dallas because of the size and congestion with the highways.
Yeah, they play politics a little different down here!

I now return you to your regularly programmed thread.

Thanks guys I really appreciate the info. I really want to go to Texas tired of California's bs. So info helps thank you. Also with paint the truck was based out we had to fix a few spots on the bed cut the paint cleared it and cut and buffed it. It is a super nice paint job. Truck was completely media blasted and all rust was patched or panels were reprint. Stack pockets were shelved inside the bed and all bolts replaced and welded up in the bed. We are really happy with the way it turned out. I will cut and buff the paint one last time
