Like I said in your comment box. Looks good. I must have seen the pic just as you had put it up. We need to meet up one day so i can check it out in person.

Looks great. My only feedback is that you need some more aggressive tires. Some duratracs or something similar. Just more umph...But otherwise, I really like the look you are going for.

Thanks guys....@ Sgtowing...no problem my wives best friend lives in Seffner so i head that way alot...i'll let you know....@ Lane24..im working on that now i just wanna lift it first so i can have better clearence...

i don't know if you even need to lift it. It lookes pretty sweet as is. Like I said. Just throw some aggressive, wider stance tires on it. But if you are thinking about lifting it, that's even better. But good job either way man.
