Truckin' and cripplin'

[greatbear]

On the way across the parking lot after work yesterday I twisted my ankle. Not thinking much of it, the ankle did not bother me much more than it usually does (I have Achilles tendinitis in my left ankle). Well, upon waking up this morning, I could not put any weight on that foot. Crap. So, I have been popping pain killers and hobbling around the house hoping it would loosen up some. So far, not much luck.

I had to take Kodi out earlier today, so I used that chance to take a couple quick pics of my new, wet truck in the rain:







Those with eagle eyes or too much time on their hands can try and spot reflections of shirtless me in the photos. Yay for hidden bonus beefcake.

Of course, my first installed accessory was the crossover toolbox in the bed. I've had these in every truck I have owned, and despite having all the room in the cab rear now, I still make bigtime use of the extra space the toolboxes provide. Yeah, tools go in there from time to time, but it's a great place for greasy, dirty or smelly parts, tools and stuffs. I have other goodies sitting around that finally have a home in the new truck, I hope to get them installed soon. What kills me about this thing is the high-riding look over pizza-cutter wheels. That needs some taking care of in the near future.

Nice looking rig and I like the color, but dayum, you are right, it's indeed a huge one. My best friend's oldest brother has a similar version, but in silver.

I will agree, very comfy and I rode in it the day we had to tow my Ranger to Bremerton to have the clutch fixed last Dec.

One thing though, I don't like how the did the ends of the front bumper on it however. Too honky and out of scale to the rest of the truck IMO.

I call those 'chunky bumpers'. The inset fog lights make it not quite as bad, but that whole bumper arrangement was my least liked thing about the truck. If the lower part of the center bumper was chromed, it would not be as bad.

Or at least leave the lower section all the way across black, and have just the top part chromed might work well too.

The 1500 series has the option of body colored bumper ends which are not so outrageous. The different front ends on the HDs make the chucnky bumpers even larger.
