yeah its a cool truck this one is a 2002 my dad has a 2003 i think, its the body style after the one pictured, i like that one better

thanks and yeah i like the wheels also (if i was to order them now id probably stagger them but i did 9.5 all around but i still like the way the look even with the stock ride height, and the place i used for paint and body work i wouldn't recommend using lol they did a alright job at best, i had to keep going over there and basically keep a watch over their shoulder the whole time (the one dude that kept me updated all the time, call me and let me know if i needed anything or want the ok before they did something got laid off and thats when it went down from there, and the thing was the owner was an ass about everything, the other guy they assigned to my car was cool and would do what i asked so i went to him instead of the owner lol

looking good!

your fuel damper did you put a new cooper gasket? and is it really tight? mine was like that at first then i just tightened it a bit more w/ a new cooper and it was all good.

i'll look into that but it was coming out the very top, not where the banjo bolt like part is, what i'll do is try another one since a friend has a few laying around (empera)
other then that yeah it was tightened down alot, at first it sprayed out then just a leak
