Howdy! If this is the wrong forum to post this, please forgive me. Maybe a mod can move it, if necessary. I really just wanted to show off some pics of the truck to folks that share a similar interest.
Here's what it looked like until recently:
Back in January, the old lady was driving and we hit some ice on a mountain pass here in CO, slid into a snow bank, and rolled it over onto the passenger side. Luckily no one was hurt. Here's a couple shots of that:
So, I figured this was a good time to start making some changes I'd been thinking about for a while. My truck is mainly a trail rig, so I wanted bumpers and a winch. I knew putting black bumpers on would add another color to my theme, and I didn't want to do that. I considered paint-matching them either white or tan, but I figured black and white would be a better look. I decided to get rid of the tan two-tone and also every bit of chrome. So, I started ordering stuff, and it got out of hand in a hurry! Fab Fours bumpers, Bushwacker cutout flares, Line-X on that stuff and also on the rockers to cover up the tan, Warn 16.5ti winch, new grille, 20x12 Ultra wheels, 40x15.5 Toyos, Powerstop brakes, PSC steering box and ram assist, and black emblems and decals all the way around. I went with smoked headlights just to get rid of the last bit of chrome, but they killed the brightness, so I'm going to switch those out to the stockers until I come up with a better solution. I left the hand-painted red and tan pinstripe, and figured since the tail lights are red, too, I could keep that as a subtle accent color, so I chose the red calipers when I ordered my brakes, and went with red shackles on the bumpers. The wheels even have a touch of red on the center caps, so I think it all ties in decently.
Anyway, here are some recent pics:
Thanks for taking a look. Let me know what you think!
