Yes the ultra gauge is similar to the scangauge. Almost every (not all) sensor that the computer monitors can be viewed and monitored. I actually got it threw a group buy on TW a while ago. But here is a link to it.

UltraGauge Automotive Information Center and OBDII Scan Tool

Running boards are gone!!! I took some measurements before and after. With them on from the bottom of the running boards to the ground was 14.5". With them removed from the bottom of the cab to the ground was 18.5"!!!! But anyhow pictures!!!

In my opinion it looks way cleaner with them off. It just seems to flow a lot better to me.

Well I derped the rims today and well.... I have mixed emotions. I really like the way they look in the shade but as soon as the sun hits them they sparkle like someone dumped a bucket of glitter on them. The camera just cant pick up on just how glittery they are. Does anyone have any experience with a flat/mat clear? Would regular paint hurt the finish of the plasti-derp? But anyhow on to the pics!!

Let me know your honest opinion yes or no?? If there is any way that someone knows about how to tone down the sparkleageness (I just made up that word btw) please let me know!!!

What color derp is that? They look almost bluish in the sun. Regular paint won't do anything to the finish of the paint. I have a base coat of derp and the painted over with Rustoleum.

Yeah I kinda picked up on the bluish tint the more I looked at it, but the camera really emphasizes on it though not as bluish in person. But its regular black derp with the metalizer over it. Good to know about not hurting the finish. I think I may get some flat/mat clear and try out on one of the center caps and see if it tones down the glittery effect.
