Bandit Runner's Rig

I spent 2 days washing, clay barring, polishing, and waxing the truck. It is not perfect by any means, but it is about as good as it will ever look. The third day, I decided to take the kids and dogs to the park, and take a few pictures of the truck before it got all dirty again. Enjoy!

Hey Bandit, what tire/wheel combo are you running? They look like they might fit my truck. Nice runner BTW, I don't know what your talking about with that "it's not perfect" stuff lol. It looks sick!

The previous owner didn't take good care of the paint on the truck. I don't think it had ever been washed (much less waxed) for the four years that they owned it. Therefore, the paint has some pretty bad spots in it, if you look closely.

The wheel and tire info is in my sig. Let me know if you have any more specific questions.

Thanks for the compliment man! I didn't just bolt them up, I actually spent a great deal of time modifying my lower valance and built some light pods.

I started out cutting out holes big enough to fit my "light pods" (I built these pods out of Margerine Containers.....don't flame it until you see what it looks like!) The first time around, I simply siliconed them into place, but that wasn't strong enough, so I the next time around I grafted them in using some epoxy.

Check out my build thread for more info:
