Thanks Guys!

Joe E. - The gauges are actually a set of cheapies that I bought off of Ebay for $35. It was a little bit of a pain putting them in but am glad I did. I really like the looks of them.

99Dakota5.2L4x4 - I use a spray and rinse wheel cleaner on them before I wash the truck each week. Then I use wheel polish by Mother's. It seems to keep them looking pretty good.

Ric - The gap gaurds cover up the gaps in your wheel wells. After you lift the body off the frame, you can see right through the rear wheel well without them. In the front, it helps cover the exposed engine compartment. They are a little expensive ($65) so I would recommend making your own. Several on these boards have done this and I wish I would have.

They are Westin Safari bars. You can buy the black ones for around $155 and you can get them in chrome for about $260. Just do a search on Yahoo for "Westin Safari Bars" and you should find several online retailers that carry them.

The exhaust sounds great! It's sounds nice and throaty. It is a single in/dual out Flowmaster 40 series with 3" stainless steel tips.

I used model car paint from Wal-Mart. It works great with a fine brush and comes off with rubbing alcohol if you mess up.

It cost me an even 300 for the muffler, pipes, tips, and installation. You should be very happy with that setup. I'm really happy with mine.

Hey, good looking truck. One question, when I got mine lifted, I didn't get the shifter extension. I have a manual, and was asking if you know how to extend the actual shifter? Also, I was wondering what you were planning on doing to get your nerf bars to sit flush with the body, so I can do the same?
