I have not been around recently. Life hit some very hard times. I am working through them slowly but surely. I have not gotten the chance to go off road and to be honest after thinking about it...I'm not sure if I will ever have the interest. I just want my truck to look cool and have the capability to go off road if ever needed...so if that's taboo then so be it. I just cannot risk damaging the truck. I still owe so much money on it and if anything happens to it I'm up ****s creek. I have not done much to the truck lately.
I did some very minor things. For example the 4 foot CB antenna in the rear. it's mounted to the rear hatch via a system that does not require drilling. It didn't work with my connectors so the mount is sort of my own jerry rigged thing. I never did get the CB radio to work but I'm thinking of buying a 4 foot scanner antenna to replace it so that I have better range on my Fire/EMS scanner. Which I have nicely mounted finally in front of the shifter in that little cubby hole meant for change.
I added some Raingler hand holds to the roof rack. They look nice. It's a minor improvement but it makes a difference. Definitely helps people getting in and out of the truck.
I will be painting all of the plastic pieces this summer (bumper, fenders, etc) to a dark charcoal gray. I also intend to install a hitch in the next month. Other than that I don't know what else to do. Perhaps a basket. I don't have the money for any of the fancy lifts or bumpers everyone else has.
Anyways. Just wanted to pop in. Give an update. I'm still alive. Here's a recent picture for the thread...
