You folks are still watering the lawn up there in November?

That is a drinking fountain for Brutus not a sprinkler.


The more I look at that picture the more I want to go grab a bucket and scrub the shit out of my roll-x and clean it up.

Nice hood wrap @Kmandoske!

Looks like @t_j is having fun with his new toy. Will that thing follow you while you drive the truck?

Digging those bronze rings......

thanks!! my truck used to be blue but recently had the chance to change the color on the truck so I went with the obvious (ruby red) and had left the rings the same color as I had them when the truck was blue. I am very happy with the end result and the fact that it still matches, I think the exact color was "sun metallic gold"

just got my truck back so I decided to take a pic when I was leaving work the other day.

Wow! Looks killer! Love the look of the glass fenders upfront with the grey flare. Something about the Ruby with the grey fenders looks right to me. I think it's the color combo.

So what happened to your dovetail? And how did you get the chance to change the whole color of the truck? Repaint the whole truck?

Thanks! and I liked the look of the grey and ruby rather than going all ruby just because I wanted to stay with an original look and not something that would make it look like a "show truck".

Well to sum it all up instead of type a long ass story on here is that back in June of this year I was run off the road on a two way street. the truck was exiting a trail and wasnt checking for any oncoming traffic, in this case me. So I was left to make a quick decision, either hit the guy (t-bone) or just go off the road into the bushes and stop in the dirt, rocks, etc. so I made the choice of going off to the side. After making the decision I didnt realize that off to the side was a little dried up canal about 3ft high so of course I ended up hitting and took a pretty good hit. To make things worse the guy didn't stop to check on me or on the situation, so when I had to report it to the insurance of course I had to file with the insurance as a colision and had to pay the deductable because there was no proof that there was somone who ran me off of the road.

In the end with all repairs said and done I had to have the following replaced.
*full frame swap
*full bed replacement
*driver seat belt replaced
*air bag sensors replaced
*passenger seat components replaced
*aftermarket front bumper replaced
*tail gate replaced
*dent in cab made by contact of the bed was corrected
*truck repainted (change in color choice made by me)
*steering rack and pinion replaced
*power steering fully replaced
*intercooler replaced

Oh damn! Sorry to hear about all that. Sounds like a ****** situation! Thankfully you weren't hurt. Really sucks when people run from responsibility though.

Truck looks awesome man! Great choice with the Ruby and Grey. I've gotten to the point now too that keeping a resemblance of stock is still a good thing. Have always liked the Ruby especially with a stock feel. Really nice balance with the fenders giving it the tough feel along with the somewhat stock look.

So are you going to dovetail it? I mean...it is in your user name
