Luke, you gonna pimp out the interior? That's gonna work so well. Caddy interior with vid screens in the head rest (with headphones for the kids). Hook-up the a decent stereo, nice cruiser for the fam. That make mama happy too. Make her forget about ridin in the minivan.

I'm jealous, my wife doesn't want to ride with me in my 02 anymore. I think my ride is too sexy for her, to be seen in it that is.

You planning on painting the truck as well? You putting on wheel flares? It should turn-out to be an awesome ride buddy.
