    Hey guys thanks for the add I’m from OKC and wanted to introduce myself!
    Take a look at my truck let me know what I should do to it.
    Quick question has anyone ever seen flares just like the ones currently on my truck or is this unique?

    welcome!

    can't say i've ever seen that setup.. likely a custom job from the dealer? or some long forgotten aftermarket?

    kinda reminds me of the running boards they put on conversion vans

    Yeah brings it back to the 90s lol but the truck was so clean no dents or dings only 99k. My grandpa he bought it new and was given to me about 4 years ago after he passed. Now I want to start doing things to the truck.

    Dead stock with oem 16" starfish wheels. We'll see how long that lasts. :) Topper of unknown origin.
    First, I hope that super-sweet truck brings you some good PawPaw memories. Typically, I'd say live with it awhile but at four years it sounds like you already have.

    What do you want to do with it: commute? camp? work?

    I'm still inclined to say stick with what you have. Polish/replace the headlights, stay on top of all the maintenance and keep it as-is.

    Nice truck! Seems too original to modify.

    Yeah buddy. One of a kind. I’d say keep them on in honor of Grampa. That two tone paint job may get jacked up if you remove. Might not have paint behind.

    I’m looking to do some camping with it I have replaced The timing belt. I’ve also done a new front headlights in corner like markers. I put wheels and tires on the vehicle. I’ve done window tent and that’s pretty much it so far.

    Is it factory, or after market? I don't believe I've ever seen an Access Cab with a sunroof

    That’s a great looking truck and one you’ll cherish as your grandfathers until it dies. Good luck with it!

    Welcome from True NorCal! I have to agree with the other members on not doing too much to it, it's unique and looks great. But what ever you do decide, the folks here are awesome and super knowledgeable.

    It seems to be aftermarket and it works!

    Yeah, that's rad . . . I agree with everyone else, leave it OG . . . very unique & super cool.
    If you can't resist the urge to modify . . . buy another 'beater' and wrench on it . . . but Grandfathers truck is legit as is.
