what's your plans

offroading truck? weekend warrior ? street queen?
Plans are, to use it as much as possible All the time everywhere :P

headliner have to wait till tomorrow, getting some more insulation on the roof before this baby goes up

Worst part of the truck is ofcourse the tailgate, painted some of it black today. Figures its better then just rust...
