Re:October 2003 Truck Of the Month

That is "One Good Looking Truck" Nathan!
I would imagine there is a bunch of work involved in keeping a vehicle looking that good and the personalized touches keep it from being just another run-of-the-mill clean truck. 8)
Congrats!

Re:October 2003 Truck Of the Month

Thanks to all for the kind words and compliments.

It is a 'full time job' keeping my truck clean. Believe it or not I've actually washed my truck in the rain before! Is that sick or what! :

I do enjoy this 'bombing' thing as it keeps me out of trouble. (or gets me in trouble with my wife) ;D

Thanks again,
Nathan

I'm not usually a fan of the color of your truck, but.... WoW! That is one sharp looking ride! Tires and wheels are awsome!
