Truck Look Update

Hey, well after some suggestions, and personal opinion i did some of the work to make my truck look better.

first off. Those ugly steps are gone.
second, i redid the tailgate lettering so its no longer gray.
third, i got towing mirrors and got rid of the ugly metal ones.
fourth, i got new rims and tires!!!
fifth. I got a new diamond plate tool box, to replace the black one i had.

I have Warn 4xFlares to install along with new shocks that should make the truck look SWEET.

How It Looked.
Awhile ago.

Looking good.

Center caps and a new back bumper are about the only suggestions I'd make.

Looks alot better. Take the mud flaps off too, and itll look even better. IMO, mud flaps only look good on duallys

nice... couple things you could do to top her off...

- new rear bumper
- polish up those wheels
- larger tires
- remove plastic from front bumper/tailgate and paint them black
- nice shiny tip

other than that, she is coming along nicely.

Im planing all of that except the tip, i kinda like the plain look. The tires i would rather larger, but the fact that i got those E rated MTs for 20 a piece makes me not care. lol
