    that’s The ARB summit. It’s like 4K pounds of steel though, so you’ll need new springs.

    It's the lightest ARB on the market, too.

    Kings, 275/70/17, a few custom items, lots of Meso mods.
    I blacked mine out because I've never done it before and wanted to give it a try but don't mind chrome. I have zero chrome on the exterior including inside the lights. Well except mirror flood lights. But they are small. I have a modded Ranger with lots of chrome but looked great for the later 90's and think it still looks good today. :notsure:

    The chrome rings on the ac vents reflect sunlight way too much for my liking. During the hot sunny days here it get annoying with the amount of driving I do.
    Also because I have tinted windows it reflects off the driver and passenger windows.

    Our neighbor down the street had one like that. I only ever saw him drive it to the mailbox.

    Surely it's too small to hold all the junk mail.

    Yes! It’s distracting when you check the side mirror and your eye focuses on the reflection on the window instead of the mirror.

    Honestly I never noticed that over all the other glares in the truck. I just swapped it because people think it's bitchin.

    Today's chrome look is nothing more than a different color, just as the color black is on the same cheap plastic parts... or another way to look at it is adding or taking away bling ?

    Hairstyles and attitudes -- are they connected?
    Are the styles we embrace a matter of taste, or of values rejected?
    Hairstyles and attitudes -- how do they relate?
    How well do we use our freedom to choose the illusions we create?

    One of America’s most underrated bands. Mostly forgotten, but not by me.

    I am pretty sure that blacking everything out increases MPG.

    Dunno. Dark matter is significantly slower than the speed of light.
