Oh you scored then lol .. I am always on the lookout for a color matched sports hood for my truck lol ... so far no luck haha!No, it’s the standard hood.
If I had the Sports one on, I would have probably kept that and make the vents functional.
Initially that was my plan, until I came across the 2500. Got everything I needed from the same vehicle, so I knew it all matched up.
In addition, it was the correct color
If I find a standard hood for less than $100 in good shape, I would grab it and fabricate the scoop or scoops on it with some fiberglass, a buddy and I a few years ago made one for a Silverado and it came out nice, you couldn't even tell it was added on there and it was fully functional ...No, it’s the standard hood.

Good luck with those tires @MartyZ .... I have seen nothing but bad things about them, they don't balance good, wear out fast and have separation issuesOrdered some new Meats just in time for stick season.
Went with the same size since making 37's fit was a task I didn't want to have done for no reason.
37x13.50 Ironman M/Ts. Set of 4 was $1158, Tire shop near me will mount them all for $100 and balance them.
Final Cost: $1258
I have heard nothing but good things from these tires when used on a solid front axle setup. A buddy of mine is on his 4th set, said hes getting 50-60k out of them and would happily order a 5th set when needed.
Ill give updates once they are mounted and include a couple of pictures

Definitely got your monies worth out of the other set. LOL When my Gladiators are finally ready for replacement I think I'm going to make the step to 37's with the prerunner style fenders and whatever trimming end up being necessary.Ordered some new Meats just in time for stick season.

Looking forward to it.
Im tossing around the idea of doing an amber halo / angel eye, or similar around the housings idea.
Something about amber against black that I like.
Also starting to dig these hoods. Might be too much of a hood thing though.
Instead of green.. Amber,

I keep looking at hoods too. I've got the standard hood on mine. And with the Vararam I wouldn't hate a center scoop the was (or could be made) functional. I keep bouncing back and forth between these 2.

Both those hoods are nice, one thing about Amerihood is that you will need to secure them with the hood pins and also switch out the support struts and use a hood prop rod to help reduce the risk of cracking them ... they are made of fiberglass which can crack pretty easy especially on hoods.I keep looking at hoods too.

I bought the truck with them on it so im not sure when they were originally installed. They were dried out but had decent tread left.
I believe you 100%. They wear much faster with IFS than a solid axle, and because of them being cheap, they are manufactured cheap. When its manufactured cheap, your chances of having a defective tire are higher. (Not being a circle, resembling more of an oval)
