Thanks for kind words guys. It'll add some weight to the back to keep the tires planted for when weight is added in front to make it go as fast as Trever1t & his mule.

Yep. And I'll prolly do it 1 day. I wanna repaint cause I'm not happy w/. how it was painted when it was repaired. Shitty attn. to detail. Told painter it was dull on bottom of rocker; he said come back in 20 minutes. I said, "I'll give a 1/2 hr." Painters' fix was not to scuff it, just clear it. So, it has peeled in spots.

I just wanted it back after waitin 2 months & no truck!!! $9k worth of T-bone.

Seam sealer where roof meets passenger door wasn't clear, but a color that shows as it's seen elements. Rotten insurance wouldn't buy me a new door & if I wanted 1 new ($600 outta my pocket!!!). I was tight on $, so they put on a used '01 in white. They went right over white, & missed tiny lil coverage where bottom of pass. door panel goes. And white shows where it's worn from my use cause instead of priming then layin on blue, or at the least, sealing; they coulda done better.

Also, paint chipped off near wheel arch behind passenger tire. doesn't help, so I may take a lil blame. Where he blended @ front of bed color is off & a bit peely. Plus, I had a minor incident of my own doin behind the driver's rear tire - crease.

On top of that, dryspray under tailgate (vertical area where bed ends). To add insult, I flipped down my center seat/ armrest to find bodyshop dust all on top where plastic is recessed & it was around my cluster; dash top wasn't super clean either.

When I brought it in, the interior was immaculate; I mean other than the side hit.
That was 2 or 3 yrs. ago in May & I'm still & .

RANT OFF!!!

BTW, where do I get a cap for my lock? Got a pic?

In due time. I've got some ideas for wheels too.

PERFORMANCE 1st, looks later. I'm still faster than u. And I will be even more so hopefully next yr.; enough that your 6L won't cut it.

Thanks. 10's?!? Yikes! They're 110# I was told. IDK if that's for a SB or a LB lid. But the guy says short bed, & he supposedly weighed them before. I haven't been on the scales to verify.

Everyone is faster then my truck...so whatever you have to say to make yourself feel better.

Also the 6 liter once again is going to still be slow...so again whatever you have to keep telling yourself.
