Very nice article Tim! It's well deserved too. You have done a very tasteful job on building your truck and you finally get the reward you deserve. Not only is it in the article, but it has a nice pic in the front of the mag too.


Good job Tim!!!!

That is a sweet truck. How are your speakers mounted? I noticed it said 6x9 stealth mounts.
