Well i dont think it sucks. It was just the only thing on the poll that i thought was the best posible chiose.

But what i would do is change the rims with superswampers, Paint the truck hunters green ( which is a dark green metallic), Put a roll cage in the bed right behind the cab, and the camand logic lights.

I love the style of the body.

that body has alot of poteintail. Keep up the good work.

What I mean is is that all you're going to do with the truck, not cookie.

What do you mean by "headache rack".

you got some really nice work goin on this truck, and its lookin great, but i think you should extend the chassis just alittle so all the wheels will sit in the center of the wheel wells. other then that amazing work keep it up man.
