Have a few more months to decide whether or not I’ll be keeping it.
It looks really good. Body and paint. Trim. Almost everything. I’m picky and not buying but I would love it with clear windows, non-Jeep wheels, and white-wall in. Sweet.

Nice! Is it a Td5?
TD3 which is the “bulletproof” diesel. The TD5 has had a lot more issues over the years.
Whisky has killed more men than bullets, but most men would rather be full of whisky than bullets.

Looks great!
Trunk badges suck. Nother more than clutter and serve no purpose other than showing off.

Did it start life in the military? I thought the radio box on the side was a mil spec option?

It may have but I don’t see any signs of OD Green or black paint under the blue...It also has gun safes in the floors of the cab.

That looks amazing Dave. A little paint definitely gives that a sharp look. Good job! That trunk is a nice touch too.

My new Dodge Ram got “pin striped” shortly after I bought it last year. Took it up a 4x4 trail that was about 2ft too narrow. Lol.
