Thank you

Roughly $1800 give or take. I did opt for the $133 tire insurance through Discount Tire.

I really didn't want to spend that much cash but I figured I'll have this truck for awhile, so I'd get exactly what I wanted.

Little update on fuel mileage: I've gone through more tanks of 89 octane than I care to but I'm getting 16 on the highway normally running 65-70mph. Going to order a programmer to see if I can help with the constant down shifting because of the tires.

I've got about 800 miles on the tires and they still look brand new except the nipples on the tread are gone. I'm going to be very **** with these tires and rotate them every 3k miles. I'm crossing my fingers that I'll get 50k out of them.

Some more pics.....well just because

About the headlights, did you opened the headlights to paint the crome or it was just done over the lens itself? looking at the pic it looks pretty original.
Nicely Done.
