I know what you're thinking, expo buckets can't bolt into a reg cab without switching the seat tracks and therefore sacrificing the power feature. Well, that's not entirely true. The difference in floor contrours between the ranger and 'sploder and the difference in track lengths can be overcome with a large drill and a Sher-Wood 1/2" spacer (counting on the Canadian guys to really get that joke).
Dude I made a mini press out of the ol' Sherwood:D

That's a great looking truck man. Love the bed cover, you did a hell of a job. I like original work! Keep it up.

Thanks man, that's so cool. I'm going to guess how you did it. Put the camera on a tripod, took two pictures of the truck (one with the hood open and one with it closed) and then layered them in photoshop. Then just erased the layer on top with the hood until it looked good?

Bingo. I didn't use a tripod though. Woulda made for less stretching and such. If I were to do it again, tripod would be the way to go. But the layering and erasing is exactly how I did it. Dead easy man.

Hmm, methinks when the snow is gone I'm going to have to do that.

I like the way you painted the door handles and front dash thingy. Lol. So how'd you do it? I want to try something like that for my interior too.

It's crazy how easy it is haha. All you need is a rattlecan of the paint colour you want. I bought the DupliColor stuff in Harvest Gold, then I just sprayed it on a garbadge bag and dabbed. I practiced on a piece of scrap metal first though to get a feel for it. I didn't even take the door handle surrounds out of the truck.

Does it chip at all? Or can you scratch it off?
