Did you get your vinyl valence from sockmonkey? Is it a gloss black or flat black?

 

yea i did. its the glossy.

 

did you tape off your tires? I just started to do mine

 

KEEP EM CHROME! Chrome looks 10000x's better in my honest opinion.

 

Chrome gets my vote

 

i put index cards around the lip of the wheel where it meets the tire.

Thanks for your opinion..... Ill leave them black for a little while, but its not permanent so i will be going back to chrome soon enough. just not entirely sure if im going to want to powdercoat or not.

thanks for your opinion

 

where did u get ur tails done at? is it paint or tint??

thks dude.

bad ass looking truck btw

 

Thanks. I took them to a local body shop. It is paint. I paid $45 i think for both lights.

 

Are you having problems with the plasti dip? I am

 

no not at all.... whats happening? and how many coats did you put on?

Sweet truck...easily one of the best looking rigs I've seen here!

I love the aggressive stance your tires/rims/lift give your truck. I've been trying to decide if I want to go mild with new stock sized tires or go wild with a lift and 285 or wider tires. One of the things I'm worried about with the bigger tires is how much power it will rob. Was there a noticeable loss in power, especially passing power on the freeway, when you added the larger tires? Thanks!

BTW: tough call on the wheels. Each color gives the truck a distinct personality. The black wheels gives your truck more of a rugged, "no-nonsense" look while the chrome wheels gives it a clean, aesthetically pleasing look. Personally, I think black on white looks best when the truck is lifted with oversized tires--which you have. I don't think you can go wrong either way. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide what theme or look you are going for.

 

Sweet truck!! Hopefully we can meet up at one of these Mod days or something so I can check it out!

 

added a few new photos.

 

Best lookin SW taco on this site

 

Thanks a lot!

 

hey what kind of mesh did you use for ur satoshi?

 

Very nice truck!! I'm aiming to a look similar to yours. How is your MPG's now with your tires and lift?

 

Hey thanks. MPG's...... eh.... id say roughly 15mpg on average... mostly city driving. Not great lol.

 

Killer truck, I like it. Question? Whats the backspacing on the wheels. Looks like a perfect setup.
