CC is Awesome! Why? 

I would never have gotten this far without help from the great folks here at Comanche Club! The depth and breadth of knowledge here, and willingness to share is truly awesome!

Congratulations and beautiful truck, @EUREKA. A long bed, 4x4, Metric Ton with a column shifted automatic is one of my favorite specs for these trucks. The pearl white also looks fantastic!

Excellent looking truck! Nice job.

I went on a 600mi round trip in November with my brother. It made him want one :D

Thank you!

I need a rack like that in my life  :drool:

 

I bought a rack off Craigslist and heavily modified it, because metal costs so much these days.

Really dig the patriotic color scheme inside and out, and those wheels are working on it too.

 

I did not know you could swap out the windows with later models, I'll have to check into that.

Thanks. Here is the video that I used to help me do it,

I did a few things differently but its a great start.

I really like what you did adding the graphics.  This is wonderful useful truck with the long bed and metric ton package.

 Thanks guys! Long bed, metric ton and no lift make it pretty nice to work out of.
