One bad *** King Ranch

A customer brought her husband's 2003 KR over to the shop yesterday for a grille conversion kit. One heck of a wife it was a surprise for him! This is one bad *** truck. We painted the honeycomb portion of the grille Estate Green to match the rest of the truck. She's coming back next week to do the headlights...

Sweet lookin' truck...

I regretfully dated a girl like that, here's how the conversation went:

Her: You know, maybe after we're married you could sell your truck and get something, you know...better.

(paralyzed with rage, then said the following calmly)

Me: You know, I was thinking the same thing...except about you. I was thinking about getting rid of you and finding someone, you know....better. Someone who understands my love for my truck...

Needless to say she was gone and out of my life not too long after...

Its a nice truck but I would do something about those god awful stabilizers that look like they are just hanging on there. Too much lift for the size tires IMO.
