How much did you end up giving for it OTD?

Good deal on getting the CC, you'll love the interior room. Id take the bars off, stock height is low enough not to need them. If you hunt as much as you say you do, invest in some mudflaps. I know a lot of people will disagree but its function over form when you hunt as much as we do. The lower panels on my dmax were toasted quick from mud terrain tires throwing up rocks, and Im probably going to end up putting them back on my Z71.

Atleast get the thing tuned and put a transgo HD2 shift kit in the trans. When money allows get a trutrac in the rear so you dont grenade everything else. The G80 does not like a lot of offroad use. The trutrac seems to lock up easier offroad as opposed to the eaton I have

I'm workin on it. I did try polishing that scratch out a couple nights ago with the wheel. Took some of it out but the rest is deep in the clear and I'm no expert.

It was 14,4 out the door with taxes and everything. I take your advise and walked in with whatever off you told me, but they didn't want to budge. They already took a grand off on the phone before I even drove down there. They took an extra couple hundred off when I showed up and started pointing stuff out. It was so clean though I couldn't pass it up.

I already love the interior room. All the guys I hunt with are pumped because I have had a reg cab for 6 years and now I guess I will be doing more driving.

I agree on the mudflaps. That is on the list. I'm thinking of what exhaust to get. I want to keep this one somewhat quiet (compared to my last one) I was thinking of magnaflow but I have a little time to think about it.

Nice. Ditch the bars and the lower splash guard on the front. It will give the illusion that it sits higher.
