Thanks guys!

I know man, those red letters look siiiiick on black rigs. But not for what I'm trying to pull off.

I'm trying to get someone to photoshop my rims gun metal gray right now. The red from the tires would really look out of place then.

I keep hearing that haha.

But I'd rather just get them powder coated. Sounds very illogical, I know. However I've ran gray rims before and loved them. I just need to show the wife what it'll look like on this truck first. Haha

One more question on the bumpers for you, what was the total cost (if you don't mind) and did you remove the black part on the top of the rear bumper or just mask it off? (The thing you would step on)

I really like how your bumpers turned out but I think my favorite thing is the slate gray on the grill insert, its such a nice touch with the black grill. Very nice work man!!

That's how my trucked looked like the 2nd day I owned it. Took my CCW class and we went out to a farm to shoot. I had rained for 3 days and it was soggy, lol. Was fun though.

Oh come on, you can see the housing division behind it! :roflbow:

Just giving you grief. You can keep that mud ****, I hate trying to clean that crap off!

Hahaha!! This trail is in the heart of recent development properties right outside Dallas.

It takes me hours of laying on my back with my pressure washer to get all of it out. Pain in the ass, but worth it.

Looks like fun times! I like mild 4 wheeling with the occasional puddle. My idea of off-roading has gone from mudholes that would drown a tank to unpaved roads.
