Well that looks nice......how does he treat your daughter?

If they break up how would she feel about him detailing your vehicles? lol

Pictures of the sleds are needed or this post is a fail!!!

Do you have heated gear for riding on the sleds? I have heated gear for riding motorcycles late/early in the year....

Wish I was going.....Beats all the drama I am currently not enjoying!!

Have fun be safe!!! Would love to see pictures of the trip!!

Looks very nice, I'd say you've trained your daughter well if she can find boyfriends like this (assuming he's decent otherwise). It's a shame you have to take it out and get it all dirty now.

i will try to post photo's tonight, they have about 6 ft of snow, 3 ft is fairly fluffy! The truck is coated with salt for shure. Travis is a good guy he was into parts, and helped alot with getting/installing the modding madness parts, The grill cover is a fia on line for $40 & you get a summer screen.

Mind if I ask what front bumper you have? Is that a stock 05 bumper? Looks great!

the fia comes with glue on snaps, i used 2 part adhesive to hold mine on. My bumpers are stock color for 05, i took them off & had them repainted, then changed the bumper/running board color to black.

My front grille has a crack on the top edge where
Folks "dropped" the hood toooo hard, plus two screws were missing when i bought it and the crack got bigger from vibrating.
I will remove the grille and drill holes and bolt/screw on mounting tabs.
All examples of why DIY is often better!
Thanks FTE for all the inspiration and ideas!
