You guys don't waste any time!

I have some photos I need to get digitized (one is a creek crossing in my brand new truck!) and I need to take some more. One of these days, I will actually buy a digital camera....
 






LOL :D yea were a bunch of photo ****** around here
 






The back end, showing the lights in the bumper...

"6" sticker on this truck, too.

Those lights in the bumper look really good, almost factory-looking. Nice truck Scott
 






Thanks, Brian.

It took some time for me to get up the courage to cut the bumper. I had it all taped off and marked - then I sat there for a while. One wrong cut, and I was buying a new bumper! Fortunately, the holes worked out just fine. Now, to find another set of lights for my other truck....
 






Here are some recent pictures...

...That truck is just way to purdy...:D

...and what the heck you doing trap shooting???
 






Actually, I was at a smallbore silhouette match.

See, down here in the South, all us rednecks cling to our God and guns. And we shoot 'em on a regular basis!
 






...When you get deep back into the woods, tell my relatives hello for me..better hollar first and let them know your comin' first..;)
 






LOL.

And for what it's worth, I can't shoot a shotgun very well. I have spent way too many years shootin' at non-moving targets!
 












that's a great looking rig you got there.

Ever take that thing offroad?

There seems to be a lot of Ga members on here, we should get a meet and greet going sometime.

Thanks. It has gone off-road - nothing too serious. I did cross a creek in it! I leave the serious stuff to my '93 (I don't want to scratch the paint on this one! LOL)

I was thinking about a meet-and-greet in Jan or Feb for all us N Ga folks (and SC and TN.)
 






Center Console

I just finished this - it holds the CB, gauges, air bag switch, and up to 7 switches (for lights, etc.)

Build thread

Not sure if I like the black finish - seems like too much black. I need to repaint the front panel anyway (imperfect finish, due to cold weather) this spring, so I might change the color. I am considering a light gray, to match the bezel above.
