Whoa, that came a long way from stock. Looking mean. Great work, man.

Great build! Love that red on black. Can't wait to see how the hood comes out.

Awesome truck ! Can't wait to see the hood . Love the red on the wheels too. Are the red inserts removable ( to change the color ?) I have a 14 all red and I'm accenting mine with black but I'd like to try red on the wheels like yours I'm just afraid it will be too much red on my truck.

Thanks, they are inserts, I believe Moto Metal makes chrome as well. If you're worried about too much red, you could always paint the inserts black. The cap inserts are held on by tabs and the wheel inserts are bolted on.

Thanks for the info , how's your truck doing with the bills installed up front ? Any UCA / Ball joint tension ?

My flares are being painted as we speak. Luckily I know the body shop manager because he's painting the flares and giving them back to me so I can install the bolts (which have locknuts) then after I get them on the truck he's going to paint all the bolts for so I don't have to worry about ruining them after paint.

Seeing yours makes me excited because I was second guessing these vs 2500 flares.

Hood done, light bars (powder coated red frames) added to roof roof rack. Still waiting on fender flares from paint shop.

 

[R.L.K.]

Wow , that truck is AMAZING !

 

[Cruizer]

Hood come out great! Truck looks like a beast!

 

[DavidRam]

Flares painted/installed, some shots from the gun range:

Just got done with modding a Trex grille. Removed plastic "chrome" studs and replaced them with Pro-bolt powder coated splke bolts. Waiting on shipment of Addicted Desert Design stealth bumper which will have similar but larger spike bolts. Installed a 20" cree led behind grille. Was raining so pics aren't that great.

What did you use for paint on the fender flare hardware? I'm debating going to pocket flares, but I'd want mine black and they come in chrome.

Cruizer, I had the hardware powder coated. Last time I spoke to Bushwacker they claimed to be testing black hardware. Might want to hit them up.

Thanks for the info. I couldn't see paint lasting long is why I was asking. What did it run to get all that hardware coated if you don't mind.
