A few minor changes

Well I got a little trigger happy with the poof cans and impact in an effort to make my truck a little less noticeable, I painted the track bars, intercooler and core support behind the grille the headlight bezels and the frame and axles and I ditched the stack and sled equipment and put a bumper on it

Whadaya think

I thought about painting my intercooler black but was worried the added paint would take away from heat transfer.
Andrew, you get your cab on there and paint it it sure will look nice.

Flat black dissipates heat very well.

The cab is curently bare and will be painted before it goes on, thats the right way to do a color change, right. It still needs some minor dent repair on the back and on one rocker, and I still have some minor rust repair to do on the box and hopefully have some color on it in the spring. I got it narowed down to two color combo's Black and Gold or Black and Silver

I like the third gen wheels on there too... the D80 rear with them looks good. The front ones look a little puckered inboard though.

WOW, and this is from a guy that hates late model wheels on older trucks!

Still gotta get spacers for the front so they are tucked just right
