Thats a really clean looking truck man...I really like the rear bumper. Is that a ranchhand bumper? Also what color did you paint the inside of the engine bay? I think we got the same color truck.

yeah the rear bumper is a ranch hand, the engine parts are painted regular ole cummins biege from cummins. Then high temp clear coat over top of that(bout 8 to 10 coats). it holds up well will look good for years and years. And yeah 80k miles on it is rare, tust me ive been lookin for a low mileage 12v excab 4x4 5 speed for a couple years now. they are out there but most want any where from 12k to 20k for them i found this one on craigs list an hour after he posted it, He sold it to me for 8200. Not bad at all, hell i dropped everything and drove strait over there and got it.
