Did another small test run today!

Hi all, I took the 53 to get a wheel alignment today ahead of the big test drive tomorrow. The Jag front end works superb, for of you who are comptemplating or already have one in. Highly reconmended. I took a picture of the 53 out in the sun, the colour certainly looks different under natural sunlight than fluro. Talk to you all soon.
Paul

Paul, I don't know how to express what I think of your truck. It is one of those trucks that should be a model or example to all. It has the perfect stance, the right wheels & tires, everything just goes together. I keep coming to this thread over and over just to look at it. You nailed it! That blue/white combo is a natural. I hate to ramble so I'll quit, thanks for sharing.
