pictures were used with point and shoot, no tripod no fancy settings...and i need to clean my lense so this is basically to show off what i've done with the truck so far...all cosmetic cheat things that make i look soo much cleaner and better, i still have to pay my parents back who loaned me some money so this is about all that will be done while i do that.

what's been done:
removed shitty chrome hubcaps, and painted wheels black
removed all that basket shit on the roof rack that just collected dirt
removed scratch up sidesteps
painted all that shit grey bumper plastic black using bumper paint...

comments are welcome. the pictures suck, but i did some editing on them to make them look a little more presentable.

here's what it looked like when i first got it...

naw not as of yet. there is enough space for all my shit going to and from school on the inside. i thought about taking it off, but i figured it would make the truck look weird.

i'm sure it'll come in handy when i end up moving out of my apartment. once i graduate, if i keep it that long.

actually not tinted yet...but sometimes this summer it should be.

the front windows are actually rolled down in both picks and with the shadows/editing the picture they came out like that.

Looks good but I'd have kept the side-steps, just for practicality.

well practicality wise, from what everyone has said to me (i haven't had the time/money for gas to go f-ing around in the mountains much) that the sidesteps are quick to bend on things, and it's easy to say why they wiegh like maybe 10's each... they really aren't meant to be banged up on shit..

and also i didn't feel like painting them since they looked like shit and were all beat up to begin with.

I would of kept the side steps only taking them off it planning on selling them, if they were just going to sit there let em get banged up its a truck/suv right. Not my taste but looks good if its your taste, trucks/suvs aren't meant to be pretty anyway........should be off road..haha. Remember if you got spray paint on the tires though it will dry rot them faster than normal wear. I know tires run expensive for trucks/suvs like that. Keep tweeking put a wench and a front ram bar w/ hi powered fogs.

i got no paint on the tires...and if they dry rotted faster i would be happy the tires on there are smaller than stock cause the ladybefore me had ptu on mroe road tires. the spare is bigger.

i took the side steps off cause incase i want to sell it i can put then back. cause normally when somebody wants to buy a vehicle they don't want to be missing parts. and i like the look without it, and allows for much more ground clearance.
