I love this truck. Really no problems at this point. I love the manual transmission and don't have any issues with the truck having only 220hp -- it seems more than adequate.

I drove my first 700 miles without the off-road lamps and then had them installed. I have noticed increased wind noise but not so much to be cause for concern. Before I had them installed, I had virtually no wind noise until I exceeded 70mph, and only slight noise at that point.

After the installation of off-road lamps I noticed increased wind noise at 60mph+. I had crossbows installed at the same time as the off road lamps and removed them as an experiment to isolate the noise. No difference, so I believe it's attributable only to the off-road lamps.

I'll post pics once I get her washed.
