I'm certainly in the minority..... I added badges. Motorcycle guys would only understand. We are always adding chrome and stuff to our cruisers.

 

I'm just not a chrome kinda person. I couldn't ever bring myself to put any on my bike.

SAY IT AINT SO!!!!

I understand keeping the truck clean w/ bigger wheels/tires, but they just look so much better (to me) without flares

glad to hear you're doing good. I make it down to Corpus every now and then w/ work. I'll be down there on the 27th. wanna grab lunch?

 

Shawn,

thanks for the great info, I will be in SA next week, in fact I bought my truck at Fiesta there on Bandera road. I'm getting the windows tinted and bedliner sparyed in. I would love to check out the vinyl thing in more detail, especailly if it's only $20.

 

If you look in the background in my pic, you'll see the beach.

I've been doing a LOT of surf fishing here on Padre Island National Seashore (Aka - Big Shell). If you've ever been down there during the summer or when the sand is torn up, you know it can be 60miles of hell trying to get through that powdery sand. So, I got a wider tire and added a few inches to the ground clearance. Since I did that, when driving through that sand/shell, I've been getting all kinds of nicks/dings on my rockers from the tires throwing them out. I'd much rather have the look of the flares then all of the nicks on the bottom. The flares can get knicked up all they want...it will still look clean. Not to mention all of the shells that come up and hit my mirror, my doors (no nicks yet, luckily), and all of the sand that ends up in the bed of my truck on all of my gear.

For what it's worth, they'll be white if I get 'em. This is how I hope the truck ends up (photoshopped the Banks Sidewinder truck, blacked out B-Pillar, black wheels 20" Weld Velociti, and changed it from red to white):



It's either those, or the PW flares...but I don't think the PW flares give enough coverage.

We'll see...I'm spending cash on other things at the moment so I'll be flare-less for a while

Check your PM.

Thanks for the compliment.

I'm just waiting to hear where the next N.Texas meet will be.

 

Here's my '07:

 

Could just get the rockers sprayed with bed liner, should be able to match the white too
Just another option....

 

white bedliner stains big time, well at least my buddies truck did. he did the whole thing white, one mudhole later and it looked tan!

 

What liner was it?

But yeah, I guess thats not a great color to line the rockers with...
And two tone wouldnt look good either.

 

you guys should think about selling all your badges!youd make a killin!

 

Dane,

Ultra clean bad **** truck. Just showed the wife and debadging shal commence sometime in the next week. I will leave the cummins 'C' and the ram head on the tailgate.

I think I'll put on your rear fenders and order the extra set of wheels for the back just like yours. lol

Just kidding, I really like DRW but I don't have the room or need for one......yet

 

Thanks guys,

keep the pics coming, I am really liking all the debadged trucks. What is the best glue remover that is not too harsh on the paint. I am going to try the fishing line thing then some sort of glue remover.

 

Dane,

where do you have the room to put the Laptop? You have it linked into the stock stereo system? Sounds cool, got any pics?

 

I like the badges myself. Especially the "C" Cummins one. When you're sitting at the red light and feeling the stares of admiration and envy from all around the little chrome "C" just seems to put an exclamation point on the fact that you are driving a TRUCK and all the other schlubs at the redlight are driving trucks. Or is that just me?
