Nice! looks good :)
Thanks
Nice, now you need a white grill
Already started.
That's a really nice looking truck you got there! I'd say keep the grille, it looks unique
That's what i was going for but the car wash guy today was like, "Hey there's some black stuff on your grill then hit it with the hose. It was perfect until he peeled it.
So it's Too late, sorry, I just plast-dip'd the entire grill. I was thinking Black Cross Hairs, and painting over my Plasti-dip with my White. As the 2010 White is different. It'd give it a unique look with maybe a red pinstripe to hide the paint line. I dunno what do you think?

I looked at getting those wheels they sure do look sexy. So you said that you don't have a lift you do run a level kit or 5100's. Your truck does not have a rake that is why I ask.

As far as your grille I like the blacked out idea. I think with the white, what better color then to go with a blacked out effect. I like the look and now you have a great stance also.

really like that wheel tire combo
Thank You! I thought it would stand out from the Rockstar Crowd but still hang like a Rockstar.

Thank you. No Lift, I don't know why I don't have a rank,I mean rake, I should considering my passenger front shock is leaking. Which boggles my mind as I don't take dirt roads, and the wife daily drives it about once a week. Otherwise it sits parked.

Thanks again. We'll see how the white looks with the black out. If it doesn't look good I'll plasti'dip over it.

The White and plasti-dip should look good together. I got the idea to do mine from a white Ram on base I saw all the time for awhile. When I finally got a close up at his truck though, I notice that instead of just painting the cross hairs, he also painted the whole inside portion of his grille leaving just the outside ring white.

I'm pretty pissed that I got the Nitto TG's instead of the Duratracs, they look badass

Looks good, I'd put a little leveling on it though or small lift.

I really like the look, but I'd have to get flares. I couldn't stand hearing all the rocks beating up my paint. NM Roads are TERRIBLE about that too!

I do LOOOVE that look. Mind if I ask what it all set ya back?

Flares...hmmm. I don't know if I should go pocket style or just smooth finish like a factory oem or some I found on ebay, EGR Rugged Look
$1520 for 4 Tires and $819 for 4 wheels.

Nah, that'd take the fun out of it. It looks stock'ier this way. I may put 5100's on just to get a smooth ride. My passenger shock is blown out.

looks great man

THanks, I couldn't justify something that aggressive, Nitto that is. The Goodyear has a great winter rating, just read another praising article in Jp Magazine.

I think you are right, they come painted grey, I may rock grey for a while, then plastidip them, then paint them if need be.

Thanks I remembered why it's so level. I have a Shurtrax in the bed for added comfort taking off in the snow. So my front's not raised, my rear is actually level.

My recommendation. Place paper behind it, and tape everything off, you'll get a lot of overspray. Take the tape off between layers of Plastidip, and be patient. then retape and reapply. This will give you the best edge, otherwise the plastidip will adhere to the tape. Just newspaper everything around it. The bottom clips are really sensitive to take the grill off, seems like I broke one locating pin.
