If the sun roof is the kicker, have you checked into getting one put in after you get the vehicle. We have done this twice in cars.

I'm sure you'll get a pic of that new truck on here! Anyhow, congrats on your new truck!

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know much, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

Congrats on the new truck.

First you need to upload the pic to a picture hosting site, such as Photobucket.com. The hosting site must allow hot-linking.

Then copy and paste the URL location (web address) of the picture into the window that pops up when you click on the pic posting icon in the edit posting window. The pic posting icon looks like a mountain and a sun inside a square box with a yellow background, 5th from the right along the row of icon boxes.

By the way, here is an easy to use formula that converts metric tire sizes to diameter in inches.

((2 x SectionWidth x AspecRatio) / 2540) + WheelDiameter = TireDiameter

For a 275/70-18 tire the formula looks like this-

((2 x 70 x 275) / 2540) + 18 = ~33" (33.1574803)

We have had American Sunroof put sunroofs in a couple cars over the years. They are comparable to the dealer installed option price. Both are more than the factory included option price, when the car is ordered with sunroof already in it as part of an option package.
