That was my guess too. It definitely looks aftermarket.

 

Yep. I personally prefer to keep all the dirt & grit away from under the hood so I'm glad I don't have a scoop. To each their own though.

 

It doesn't connect through go to the engine. I walked by again and it is literally just glued onto the hood. Just for looks I guess.

 

yup. pretty sure they are sold at vato zone or any other like place.

 

Interesting. I feel like I would still go for a bigger one if I was trying to match the stock hoods. Very well centered though. I thought it was an entire hood swap. Wish I could center stickers that well haha. The best I've ever done placing something is the TRD badge on the tailgate.

 

You can borrow my little buzz box if you need to, and I have about 20+ ft of 2" DOM tubing that could be a part of that bumper deal

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but, don't you have to cut metal off the rear of your truck to get that bumper you're selling to fit?

 

haha, thanks for the offer but I know a guy that will hopefully do it for beer

Yes sir. You have to trim the bedsides a bit. Gotta get that high clearance from somewhere

 

Chris bring it over to anthony's and I'll burn it in for you

 

Right on!! I'll keep that in mind once I get the tube cut and sized. Still haven't even started that. haha

BTW, how did the camping go?

 

I dipped my fuel door today for the hell of it. Not sure if I like it yet. For now it will stay but I may peel it off and keep it silver. What do you guys think?

Looks good to me.

Looks like you need to do the BHLM as well!

 

I have morimoto projectors to install from The Retrofit Source but I haven't had time to install them. I'll probably do it over spring break because I'll have access to my dads garage. I'm pretty nervous about doing it. The whole baking of the headlights just has so much room for error. I think I'll do the BHLM at the same time.

I like black accents on my truck haha.

 

To be honest - it's not my thing because it makes that part stick out like it doesn't belong. Some will like it, some won't. As long as YOU do.

 

Thanks! I think I'm gonna leave it a week and see how I feel. Right now it sticks out bad because the handles and badges were painted long ago so they are more faded. I am gonna give it some time.

 

Dipping the fenders up to those lines might be a neat look though. Kind of like faux Bushwacker flares or something to give the truck a more lifted appearance? I dunno. I'm armchair quarterbacking over here...

 

Do you have a pic of a truck with that done?

 

Nope. I just thought of it right now. It's probably been done though. I've always cut fenders to make big tires fit or the truck I have now came with the color matched fiberglass fenders so it floats my boa. Even though they did a shitty job painting you can't tell from 20ft away or when I'm doing bro stuff. It's not a show truck. The rain is my carwash. It's a camping truck.

 

I've done so much cutting inside the fender to fit the 285s it was such a pain but the rubbing was awful. Anytime I was in a parking lot people looked at me like I was an awful driver.

 

This.
