Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I ordered some parts I have wanted but really didn't need and then I found some parts I might really need but now will have to come up with more money!

It's a process.....

As for me, I decided to change out RAT's plates. She'll always be RAT to me. But, since she's in the paint jail waiting for silver, I decided to gowith this plate.
I ordered it. It'll look pretty close to this.

Of course, it's a play on The Lone Ranger deal.
