Thanks. The rear bumper colormatch is something I wanna do. I either work w/. what I have, buy another, or what I'd really like to do is a rollpan. A rollpan just looks so GOOD. But a pan makes u paranoid, cause there's so many drivers!

I hear ya 100% Tom, I got slightly tagged twice last year in the rear bumper...hardly any damage, but if I had a roll pan it would have been disastrous. The roll pans look awesome though, just too many crappy drivers out there.

I think that some color matched mirrors and bumper caps would look awesome btw...do you have the tonneau cover on yet?

C/M'd Mirrors are in future. Bumper cap/ cover are in my plans too. Still waiting on tonneau.

Supposed to be here end of Aug. I gotta call the salesman this week & get the lowdown. He's gotta give me a firm delivery date so I can request off from work. I need advance notice to plan.

I don't want my cover sittin around warehouse any longer than it needs to be. IMO, the longer it sits, the greater likelihood of issues.

Looking good Tom. I'm with the other guys some simple color matching will finish it up nicely. The bow tie and mirror caps are an easy do.

Looks good Tom!

You have the itch to go lower yet or are you content with the height?

You should definitely get a 06 bumper cap and have it painted.

I think I'll stay at this height. I haveta drive in the winter, it's no Garage Queen like yours.

Also, w/. the Hotchkis TVS kit, it rides ok to me on road, but it rides hard over big bumps & R.R. tracks. IDK if it's the leaf springs being almost a flat piece of steel instead of the arched like stock, but that design gives little & feels way more rigid. I forgot if it came w/. shorter bumpstops or not. How can u tell if you're bouncing off bumpstops?

Honestly, I think the harshness is probably the shocks. The Belltch Streets ride OK, but I prefer my QA1s.

I also think the "harshness" is in the rear not the front. Who knows since it was a done as a pkg.

What is different bout the 06 bumper cap? Is it more paint ready than my stocker? Or is it smooth/ lacking the texture of the 04?

Thanks guys for kind words/ comments.
