Absolutely beautiful... but I do have one question: Why the 2WD "Honda Civic" shifter knob? The 4WD "pistol grip" just seems so much "tougher" looking. But I won't totally dwell on shifters... your truck is way cleaner than mine!

Oh I hear ya on that! I prefer not getting stuck, but thats the risk we run. I'll feel better once I can install my winch. I drew up plans on CAD for a plate bumper that integrates with the Trail-Gear winch plate... but the fabricator I submitted the plans to has not gotten back to me...
