Because a couple guys on 355Nation stepped up to help me out with this, here is their thanks:

a special thanks goes out to Tazman2007 on for this one. Kevin, this wouldn't have even happened if you didn't step up and I truly appreciate it!

Also, Greg, if you read this, thanks for working with me on the timing. My schedule is hectic as hell usually and you were able to work with me on short notice. Thanks to you as well!


So yeah, I picked up the topper today. Made the 3 hour drive to damn near Knoxville, then back to Nashville and home.

I met up with Greg after the first stretch and saw the topper and was very impressed. Exactly as he had stated it was. Only damage are some scuffs and scratches on one side, nothing a little paint can't fix. It was also EXACTLY what I was wanting. The fit and style is simple and clean.

Then I headed back to Nashville and hit up the Race Shop that I was speaking to about headers. Not happening. Because of the pricing and everything in the area, the guy can't build a header for under $600. No biggie.. I have other resources. :twisted:

Anyway, here are the two pictures I snapped...

After Greg and I put it on the truck

Looks really good man.

I wanted to get that one too, but wasn't in the budget right now.

I am really happy with the thing and has revamped my interest in the truck for the upcoming nice months.

Here is a back-end shot. Wired up the third break light tonight so now I can blind people with that new light. It's freakin bright...

Yep I heard the same thing. But the dogs like it better then the tonneau cover!! They said they can see better!! Just kidding!! Mine is dirty and not nearly as nice as yours but here she is anyway. I'll join the old man club I guess. Oh ya my daughter likes not have 150 lbs of dog sitting beside her!! Can't understand why until I try to look through the back window in the rearview mirror!!!

Welcome to the "old man" club!! Looks pretty good. I thought about one for mine, but like many, $1000+ just isn't in the budget.

Enjoy it!!!

Looks a hell of a lot better on your truck than it did on mine!

Glad to see you got the brake light wired up..

Thanks Greg, but we have damn near the same truck. :lol:

Hell, I saw your truck sitting there as I pulled in the first time and got all excited. That combined with the deal and I am a happy, happy man.

And thanks for the Kudos. I think it sets my truck off, especially around here. Had some friends telling me they saw me at such-n-such a place driving around. Only catch is that I wasn't there. It was someone else that has a truck that looks like mine (not really hard to do) but now it's something different. Different makes me happy, most of the time.

And JR, it would look badass on your truck as well. Get one, and put some lights up there!
