Many thanks to Rodster for helping me; he was so damn quick on the private messages that it was like having him standing beside me to assist.

I think we married twin daughters of different mothers.

Very trick! I am jelious! I would like to get one of those at some point.

I saw the first pic, and saw the ceiling storage and thuoght you were being a smart ass! LOL!

Are you tossing back-up lights on the back?

In the first pic, you can also see that I did the "Rodster Mod" to the license plate holder brow. It was chrome, now it's PlastiDip black, and looks a lot better IMO.

$1100 is pretty steep for that rack. It does look good though! I may make one for mine.

Damn, the people at GOBI can't spell for sh!t.

"Tonal Cover"
"Farring"

lol!

This sounds like my wife. Substitute truck with any item of your choice and you get the idea. Are you sure those twins/triplet daughters weren't quadruplets?

Just buy her an extra car, then she can't say anything. That's what I did...

VTSTOMPER · #9 10-18-2005, 11:26 AM

Pretty sure they were at triplets then. This is what I hear:

"The truck was absolutly perfect and needed nothing the day you bought it...so why and the hell do you need to keep adding/changing crap to it. It is just a waste of money!"

Here is my reply:

"No it's not."

Thanks, I like it a lot. LOL about the ceiling storage!

Yeah, I'll get the lights installed within the next week or so.

Looking good! Bet you can pile a lot of ducks on that rack.

TXSUT · #16 10-17-2005, 06:03 PM

Thanks guys. I'd really like the roof rack, but that would prevent entry into my garage. I actually have a contractor coming out next week to take a look at what it would take to increase the height of my garage opening. I can only imagine how expensive that will be...and the bitching my wife will do when I tell her about my intentions. LOL

The "brow" over the plate was originally chrome. I scuffed it up with fine grit sandpaper and spray-painted it with 5 coats of black Performix PlastiDip.

http://www.plastidip.com/consumer/index.html

Rodster had done the same to his, and he provided me with the instrustions. He got his PlastiDip at Home Depot, I got mine at Lowes (my HD doesn't carry it).

The brow itself is easy to remove from the entire plate/light assembly via removal of three small clips on the backside using needle-nose pliers. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Thanks for the info~!

Where did you get the black license plate deal?

KenP · #19 10-17-2005, 03:55 PM

That looks great! Rod is a good guy.

#20 10-17-2005, 12:58 PM

Thanks for the info. It looks really great on your truck with all black, but I'd like to see them make it in the Elite series (stainless) as my truck is a mix of black and chrome.
