nice wheels, and a great price on them now.

 

Exactly!!!

 

Yup. After looking again it is a deeper blue than the Atlantic blue.
Thanks

 

hrmm. i like the color,

looks like a mix between atlantic and patriot.

 

Toothpics work great for fixing center cap rattles. Put four toothpics at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock positions and push them between the wheel and cap, then break them off flush with the wheel.

 

electric blue is the color of my SRT-4... it has a very heavy metal flec and deepens the color at the curves and shines brilliantly with a good wash...

 

beautiful truck man... the wheels and tires def. make her standout... hood and everything is just clean...

yet another truck further convincing me to shave the badges when my truck gets here...

i def. wanna get that for my truck as well... rather than ordering thru dealer though would it be cheaper to get mine painted to match? or is there an aftermarket solution? i have been checking online and all i keep finding are the chrome ones (including that big one that takes the cross out of the middle of the grille and makes it look like a ford)...

so yea any advice would be appreciated...

 

I kept watching eBay and every now and then a good deal on a black one will come by. The ST models (work trucks) usually have a plain black grill, and a lot of people that own them upgrade to chrome. That's probably the best one to paint - paint wont' stick very well to chrome. I ended up just getting it through the dealer because it was easier and by the time I bought one, had it shipped, and then had it painted it would have been nearly as expensive. IIRC, it was around $300 already factory painted buying it at the dealer.

Honestly, I haven't seen any after market grills that I care much for. FYI, you can use a grill for a 2006 or a 2007.

 

I'm definitely going to add some flares - the "wheels sticking out" look is beginning to wear on me (not to mention the potential paint damage from rocks and such).

 

my suggestion

 

Sweet ride

 

what did you pay for your kore recon kit if you dont mind me asking,any best places to get them.love the truck wow very nice by the way

 

Iker put some BW flares on there for him color matched of course!!

 

I bought it from KLM Performance. It was around $1500. Not cheap, but I have no regrets. If you go with the Recon kit or taller, I'd recommend also buying an adjustable track bar (I'm ordering a Thuren bar this week), mostly because the front axle won't be perfectly centered under the truck with the stock bar and the 3" lift. It probably wouldn't be as noticeable on a 2" leveling kit.

 

I took care of the rattling caps by tapping the edge lips down a bit using a plastic faced hammer. Tightened them right up! I still shouldn't have had to do it though. Centerline used to be the premier maker of high performance wheels. They seem to have slipped a bit in the 15 years or so since I last bought a set for my drag car.
