Looks to be nicely done....but the late model box kinda ruins it for me. I like them with a flatbed....but that's just me. Got any pics of the engine compartment or interior?

A friend of mine said I should put 22.5's on it. not sure I would like something that big. but aome aluminum rims will eventually be on there.

Not really liking the writing on the tailgate but the rest of it is pretty bad-*** in my opinion. Any pics of interior/motor?

I am not in love with the lettering on the tailgate either. it is only a decal and may change.



motor is nothing fancy
