Lol. Yea trees dont mix very well with front ends. It has 200k on the clock. Runs great shifts good too. Cranked it up at 10 degrees last night. First time its been cranked in about 3 months. Cranked right up with no stiction at all. I am going to 2 tone it with a darker goldish brown from the top of the doors right under the windows down. I can fix it for about 1k-1.5k.

Get rid of the body cladding! Personal opinion of course!

I hit a deer with mine a couple years ago and had about the same damage (minus the brush guard bumper). It ended up costing about $2500 to fix.

I was thinking of doing that. I am putting the 05-07 front end back on it. This is the color I am thinking to two tone with. What do all think?

Nice. I used KemFX from The Coating Store.com. The color was Viper Blue and your image reminded me of it. My paint job turned out bad because I didn't mix it long enough but the color was awesome. I need to reorder it so I can finish up my project.
