I used the gloss rustoleum spray paint. It worked great but I also used rustoluem's primer first and sanded down the bumper to make sure the paint would stick. As far as color goes, it is pretty close. The truck has that sparkle to it, but otherwise I would say it isn't a noticeable difference unless you really take the time to really look at it. I am very picky about things matching and looking good, and I am happy with the results

 

Just got my headlights in the mail today! Will be painting the chrome black and installing them on Friday and if I still like the look of them once they have been on the truck for a little while, I will consider a retrofit soon after

 

sick! where did you get these? i like them

 

Those are going to look great! I love the black.

Where may I ask did you come across them?

 

omg those headlights are badass!

 

I got them on ebay...there has been a thread going on them on here for a while and no one ordered them yet so I decided I would do it and test them out and see what they look like and how well they hold up. i am tired of the side light falling out so hopefully these will solve the problem. They look awesome off the truck, I just hope they don't look cheap when I put them on. Will get them on as soon as I can and get pics on here!!

 

Got the lights installed...PITA but so far I really like them. Had to cut the end piece off the grille but I really like the look of them. I think they will look much better when I do the retrofit on them, but for now they are good





I will get better pics during the day tomorrow

I like the headlights. Keep us posted on how they hold up. I'm curious how well they are sealed and if they will fog up.

 

Update on the headlights (already)...we had a pretty good storm pass through the other night...which is rare in AZ, but one of my headlights is already filled with water. I am going to attempt to take it off, clean it and then reseal it, but I am slightly disappointed in them overall.

 

I just put on some method racing wheels 17in with 265 70 17 duratracs and love them! had bfg's on all mmy trucks before but never again.

 

I'm the same. I love BFG but I am going with Duratracs this time!

 

Why no more BFG?

 

I am planning on moving to Denver soon and I want a tire that is good in all weather as well as offroad, but especially snow, and after reading lots of comments on here, it seems that my two choices are to go with either the BFG AT or the Duratracs. If I could go with any I would go with KM2s but I have heard that they don't do so well on click roads, and since the Duratracs look more aggressive than BFG's AT I am going that route. Plus, I need to see what all the fuss is about!

 

Duratracs are probably your best bet. I don't like them all that much but they will have the best tread for wet/snowy weather. I like my KM2s here in Utah but I had them siped when I bought them. That will definitely make them better on snow/ice.

If I were chosing a tire for snowy/icy conditions and was looking at the three you listed my personal preference would be...

1: BFG AT
2: Duratrac
3:BFG KM2

 

I love my BFG AT's but I wanted to move to something a bit more aggressive, not just for the look, but also for the use. I have seen loads of positive comments about the Duratracs that's why I was headed in that direction. In my case it may be easier to just have two sets of tires, one for winter and one for summer and then I can have the best of both worlds

I thought about that too. I am looking into them more and trying to read around the forums to see what people think. Thanks for the link.

 

Just got some All-Pro Upper control arms to put on and some Spidertrax wheel spacers on the way!
