Default My Graduation Present

Okay guys I recently graduated from TCU. So I got myself a little something. Here are some pictures of the new ride.









These are some pics of the old retired daily driver. BTW the Camaro was filthy.

Nothing too extreme. I plan on installing a 6" lift, 20" wheels, and some 35" tires. Along with a few bolt ons.

It is a 2wd, but I am lifting it more asthetics. It does have a locking rear which is not too shabby. That 4k on the Camaro was a blast to dd. Now I can install the H/C setup in the near future.

For options please check my FQuick garage. The price was 30k, that included rebates and even cut into the dealers holdback.

WildBills- That sounds like a decent price, but I am sure you can get a better price. Ask for the build sheet go online and look up the invoice. Go from there. The Tundras are nice, but they are not my cup of tea.

kornfreak- Yes, I debadged the tailgate. The Texas Edition badge looked like ****. It did not flow with the truck. The bowtie just looks plain awakard to me. To each their own I guess. I like the cleaner look. I cannot stand those stupid dealer badges either.

Thanks Tony, it is low maintenance. That is why I either wanted a Graystone or Silverbirch metallic. LOL on the new lunchwagon. No more minivan. Now I just need those personalized plates you suggested.

Awesome! I hate dealer badges also! I understand the big chevy one but I kinda like the Texas Ed. badge... bad *** truck man!
