The backs on my '01 have about 8K miles on them and they are almost bald

Guess I should stop those two-wheel burnouts...

LMAO- does kind of look that way in the pics doesn't it. Luckily, the windows aren't really as dark as the appear to be.

I think I'm about done with the outside of the truck- maybe add some pinstripes. Now it's time to pour some more $$ into the interior. After a week of driving the wife's Expy, the 2-speaker AM/FM "stereo" that's in my truck is sounding pretty bad.

that's one darn fine looking pick-em-up there No-Mo. I love the black/white color contrast. It's very classy looking, great job.

I know what you mean re; the stereo, my Ford has 6 factory speakers and it still sounded bad. I put in a high power CD player, an amp, a sub woofer and am slowly replacing the factory speakers moving front to back. As it is now that dude will cause aural damage but the best part is the sub is under the drivers seat, so I REALLY get to 'feel' my music, ooohhh baby. I put in a separate surround sound system for the TV's, I can have the kids in the back watching something and turn all the radio speakers off except the 2 in the front doors and the sub. Or even better the kids put on the DVD/TV headphones and I can still crank to tunes a bit.

I'm liking the direction your rig is going, keep posting the pics, I enjoy seeing them, Ken

Nice rig, NoMo.
