Got bored at work. Figured I'd make a thread of my truck build.

first got the truck with 60,000 miles

got a leveling kit then had a wreck so got a boondock bumper

removed the side steps and got some new wheels and tires and removed the bed rails.

some other mods done are LED grill lights, LED tail lights and third brake lights with smoked headlights, Airaid cold air jr. Kit. JET mass air flow sensor, Throttle body spacer, Magnaflow exhaust, edge evo ht programmer, 20% tint, kenwood double-din touch screen with jl 8" sub, and line-x bed liner.

Looks good, any plans on color matching the door handles?

Idk really haven't thought of that. I plan on blacking out the chrome strip on the door molding with plasti dip first in case i dont like it.

Wheels looks good!
Demold the doors, remove the 4x4, tow mirrors, etc.

Paints faded underneath or else i would in a heart beat. And i plan on tow mirrors gotta get my ABS problem fixed first tho.

If your leaving the molding id leave it chrome. Just my 2 cents. Truck looks good

Thanks. I was just gonna plasti dip it first to see how it looked. Just trying different things

Thats cool. Was looking at the pictures again and It actually might look ok with your color truck. Lighter colored trucks I think it looks terrible.

 

[Mathew Hulsey]

Yeah i know. The more chrome i take off the better it looks. I still need to get the back bumper to match the front tho

Been thinking of different ideas on stuff that i can do. Im wanting a 4 inch lift since i had to decrank the T-bars (they were causing cvs to bind up). Also anyone else have a problem with 305/50 tires on 20x10 -24 wheels rubbing with a leveling kit? Anyone have any suggestions on different things i can do?

305s/50 will rub, i had 295/55 with a leveling kit and had to trim on 20X10 wheels and your tires will be about an inch wider than mine, its doable but not ideal, i suggest doing a 1.5" body lift to give it that perfect clearance

Iven never been a fan of body lifts tho. Just personal preference. Thats why i want a 4inch lift. plus i could stuff lil bit bigger tires with haveing the t-keys on top of the lift as when i had the keys installed they didn't give me my stock keys back.
