This is a thread about my pick-up truck that I bought in 09... this is my very first pick-up so it was huge for me at first and that is why i didn't go with f-450 (which i regret now a lot)... i bought it to tow my enclosed trailed so I can transport all my 3000GTs... :p

Started out as a brand new truck.









I don't really dig the brown leather, but in the trim i wanted it, it only comes in this color... oh well...

I don't like wood trim at all so I decided to get rid of it... also the front arm rests are covered in real leather and the rear ones are just plastic, so decided to fix that as well!

So I decided to do the CF vinyl wrap over all the pieces...


This is what front door arm rest looks like from the factory:


This is my matching rear arm rest:

as 2010 rolled around, new trucks had a very nice option... sliding rear window with a defroster (09s did not come with that option... either a solid with defrost or sliding w/o)... so I decided to replace the window!

and stage 1 of exterior is complete...

So i wasn't thrilled by this cf vinyl so i painted panels "piano black".
Drive a lot at night with a trailer so decided to get a night vision camera installed for safety purposes. Same thing for grill lights.
And rear entertainment systems went in... which sucks btw so i'll be re-doing it in a near future.
