I don't have any pics of when I first got it but this was back in January of '12.
Just take off the shell, mudflaps, drop the nose by 2", add a few scratches to the paint and add a little rust to the rims.

This a roughly two weeks ago when I installed my spotlights.

The spotlights blew a fuse when my "cheap install" shorted out the fuse box so they are not currently running.


And here it is just a few days ago sitting in the parking lot.



BTW the spotlights cost me a grand total of $3.00:yahoo: at a thrift store and I installed them myself for less than $20 in materials.

You get what you pay for. What's with the paw prints? Wolf enthusiast?

The fuse blew because the wire spliced into my fuse panel was not wound tight enough and shorted to ground across the fuse I plugged it into, then when I pulled it out it slipped and shorted out all the power to the fuse panel. The fuses are replaced and if I have time this afternoon I'll hook-up the spotlights to an individual fuse.

Anyway the way I like to look at is, as long as my total cost is under $186 per light, I saved at least a little cash.:D

As for the paw prints... I work with dogs and wanted something unique. Since I couldn't find another truck with paw prints on Google images I decided to go that route. I am also a wolf enthusiast but Cali' has no native wolves as of late. At least you could tell they were canine; I had one guy come up to me in a parking lot a while back and ask if a bear crawled over my truck... go figure.:dunno:
