the only thing that was a real problem was the paint!! it was cracking on the roof and hood. so after about 2 years.this is what it finaly started to look like

then to takel the paint after doing so shopping i decided to do the bed liner look I was not sure at first but figured anything was batter then what it was so this is what I came up with so far

after having the bed liner on for a while now I love it no worries of stray shopping carts or others car doors
I also did warrior shackels aal superlift shocks tt and removed the front lower valance and tinted the tai lights I also added some round fog lights in the bumper so as of right now the only thing I realy need is a rear bumper.
