HAHA, yeah. The wife's favorite color is green, so i can justify it that way, right?

I am trying to get the dealership with the green truck to install an '08 tailgate and cab lights and get me to a certain price.

Still waiting for a response.

There's a thread or site reference on how to install the cab lights. From what I remember it didn't look that involved. Good negotiating points! I've been looking at that barbwire striping. Stripeman.com: Barbed Wire 1/2" Wide- (sold by the foot)

I found the thread, thanks!

Cab lights are not above my ability, just looks like a PITA taking the headliner down. Putting the new gate looks like a job I can handle as well...I'd like them to provide the gate painted to match and the necessary hinge and I'll install it.

My condolences...my old girl Guinness is getting up there too, 12 this October. I am dreading the days you are experiencing.

Ok, I can do that. Here's to Kmonty having a good day too. I've got the airbag out of the weel but I got sidetracked and started the lawn work of all things.

If anyone is scratching their heads... I noticed Chris' description and found out in order to do that I had to become a supporter. Which I've wanted to do for a while, because this is such a cool forum. So I opted to do the 3 year gig which gets me a t-shirt and a sticker. And that flashy *supporter* banner.
