Finally got the exterior of the truck done

PatheticJoe · 10-30-2009, 03:03 PM

Just like the title says, I finally added the last piece to finish the exterior. All total it has the Grillcraft black mesh grill, blacked out headlights, debadged, black Westin nerf bars, a couple window stickers, and finally a set of Status Dystany S802 20x9 wheels with Yokohama Parada Spec X 285/50R20 tires. Only took me 2 years and 9 months! The wheels are based off this thread from Yonkpo, who I think you guys ran off. I PM'd him a few times and ended up buying the same wheels in a 20" instead of 22". I love the look of the truck and there is no doubt it's all street truck. The black inserts keep the wheels from being to bling-bling and the 285/50s tuck in there perfectly and give the truck just the wide stance and look it needs. Totally thrilled with how it all came together. And now the pictures.

Looks good man, may i suggest taking off the mud flaps.

frozen_taco · 11-04-2009, 10:48 PM

Never even considered it, I might try it next summer though once the rain stops for another 5 months. Found this on wikipedia, of course I break the law everyday so it wouldn't stop me but was interesting.

That's a good idea, I'll have try and find a picture of a Prerunner with them and see how it looks.

oldtacomaguy · 11-06-2009, 12:34 PM

I like the look, kind of subtle but you know a lot of thought went into it. Great truck.

Vacountryboy-IXI · 11-06-2009, 12:46 PM

I love the truck I think the mudflaps take away from it though

No person shall operate any motor vehicle having three or more wheels, any trailer, or semitrailer unless equipped with fenders, covers, or devices, including flaps or splash aprons, or unless the body of the vehicle or attachments thereto afford adequate protection to effectively minimize the spray or splash of water or mud to the rear of the vehicle and all such equipment or such body or attachments thereto shall be at least as wide as the tire tread. This section does not apply to those vehicles exempt from registration, trailers and semitrailers having an unladen weight of under 1,500 pounds, or any vehicles manufactured and first registered prior to January 1, 1971, having an unladen weight of under 1,500 pounds. "

I've lived in CA all my life. I've never heard of anyone getting a ticket for not having mudflaps.

In Kentucky it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in your pocket.

So I really paid attention to mudflaps all day yesterday and today and I'd say easily 70% of trucks and large SUVs don't have mudflaps. I saw like 8 dodge rams without any and a few chevys and a bunch of tahoe/expedition types. So first chance I get the flaps are gone.
