Great looking truck Kristi.

I don't really like painted bug deflectors... it's one of those "to each his own" issues, I guess. I also am not a fan of vent visors, though they look OK on dark colored trucks. My mom has had them on her last 3 vehicles and it looked much better on her dark green 96 Blazer than her red 98 Tahoe or her current pewter Envoy.

The rake is much "worse," if you will, on the pavement than on the grass, which is another reason I took the pics on the grass. It is kind of cool looking, but it's just TOO MUCH wheel-well and I can't afford the size wheels and tires it would take to fill it up <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

I should have the rear lowered and the wheels and tires on within a month so there will be more pics to come <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

17x8 in front, 17x9.5 in rear... you saw the pic of the wheels I'm getting, right? At the price they sell them, I could probably afford 18's, but that wheel doesn't come in 18" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
