Yeah me too. My favorite trick on a multi page thread is to get caught up in the discussion and hit reply on page 2, only to find out on page 3, four people have already answered the question and moved on to something else. :evil: D'oh! there was a page four! :? :? :?

Yes very nice truck. But shouldn't it have the large wide tailgate trim with the matching woodgrain. I think so :?

Yes it should, I noticed that as well. The wheels aren't to my taste either, but its still an awesome truck.

No one is repoping the tailgate trim yet. so he probably couldn't find a nice one.

Got it, Mike...thank you!

Yes, that tailgate should have had the full-width woodgrain panel. Even with the tailgate he's got though, he should at least be using the single chrome strip to cover where the two colors meet up along the bottom. Of course, most people would never notice those things....but you guys are getting sharp! ;)

I thought NPD or DC were re-popping the big t-gate cover??
I don't like modern wheels either, but the 5 spoke does have a sorta nostalgic look to them. Bottom line: A really nice ride I would love to have.

I could have Sworn that I saw a wide "Ranger" (Which is Black instead of wood grain) one in the older DC catalog, but cannot find it now. I have never seen the wood grain one advertised. I have been thinking about it for mine.

Ducky, I agree, the one I saw was black too, not woodgrain. Somewhere I have an older DC catalog, maybe that's where I saw it?
That's MR. Jackass to you fellah!
