ah check this out.
i just painted my tool holder (culvert) cap black over that bright red.
funny how small things make a nice difference.
i just painted up my door jams too.the cam really picks up the shade difference but in person it really is much,much closer.anyway,far better than bright red jams.it doesn't have the blue hue to it at all that the cam shows.now i don't see red jams through the door cracks when the doors are shut.(had to save some $ when getting her painted.)
kinda nice having a long weekend to play around.
all waxed up,you can see my silly self in the paint reflection lol.

PS:
I like your colors. The interior really does look out of place.

well i got the rear view cam and a loud backup beeper just in case.
i tell ya though,there's a good explanation for all of those and i wouldn't want to be without one of 'em.
the main west costs,obviously so i can see.
the stainless bolt on,for changing lanes/merging.
the upper stick on for increased side view/blind spot,between the cam and small stainless round.
then the bottom stick on is purely for under body toolbox viewing,so i know i never leave one open.
the drivers side upper also lets me monitor my upper toolbox tube along with cures the blind spot.
nothing like keeping an eye on things with just a quick glance.anytime i head out,im monitoring i don't risk loosing thousands of dollars of tools in the road; pro grade chainsaws,peavy,pole saw,pruner,climbing and rigging ropes,pulleys,other various rigging gear etc.
got the final under body box coming.another identical rear for the drivers side.no more messing with toolbox on/off to dump soon.plus a place to store more oil and the type stuff for equipment so my pass side isn't so packed i can hardly get stuff in or out lol.
then i'll skirt between the two to keep air out for better economy.always room to improve it seems.

I like that woodgrain on the dash. Did you make that yourself? If so what did you use/where did you get it?
How is that banks treating you? Break any boost records yet? I am finally going to get my 4 inch straight pipe exhaust in and get my 89 back on the road. - I spent the past week sandblasting and painting my frame and underbody. ISSPRO gauges should be coming in next week too.

oh thats a kit i bought online.it's got a few faults.if it didn't cost so much,i wouldn't complain.but for the $ i expected correct cuts.but it's not so bad i guess.i was just kinda ugly after paying over 100$ for it to see these obvious faults (and no customer service at all.)

it's still nice.if your going to spend the $ find a better co. though.i don't recommend these guys.
the banks has transformed my whole truck.i just drive easy anyway,so not worried about high boost.mostly i see well under my 9.5 psi peaks,cus i drive so slow lol.
iv got to be loaded right up good and put the fuel right to it to peak them levels.
doesn't need high boost though,goes real easy with just a 3-4 psi.totally changed the truck.
