I think i'm in love....

IU TOTALLY agree that thing is sooooo sick great truck hope mine look simular to that when im done

 

[kaczman]

Thanks guys. Grille here:

I just left the stupid side pieces off, and painted my side scoops gloss black.

 

[kaczman]

Noticed the calipers were on their way out. So I replaced all those, and I did all 4 Gabriel Pro Guard shocks while I was at it:

I've also got a OEM tonneau cover and bed extender now. And I'm thinking about spraying the truck Flat Black next spring.

 

[OffTrac]

Haha, not even two months after the "finished" thread...new updates and new plans. I'll watch...

 

[MidnightRebel07]

Not flat black, go Satin Black, looks so much nicer.

 

[OffTrac]

Flat black can be incredibly hard to do correctly, too. I've seen too many people try flat black and just look terrible. Done right, it looks great, but it's rare to see that.

 

[Firstimeford]

Man that is BAD A**! Did you have to use any spacers/adapters for the Edge wheels? What kind of paint on the cladding?

 

[kaczman]

Thanks. I used a 1" spacer to make up for the edge wheel offset.

I used "Paint For Plastic", gloss black in color.

Anyone have pictures of satin black vs flat black paint jobs? I diddnt know there was a difference.

 

[Pjibs]

slick Trac!

 

[lounge lizard]

love the truck!

but need the console cover tweaked a little on the wrapping.

that's just me. sorry!

 

[kaczman]

Yeah, I got a replacement center console cover coming in.

Looks like I'm going to be doing a Flat Satin Gunmetal paint job this spring. I painted my girlfriends Tiburon I rebuilt this sick color - called Carbon Metallic. I wanna do it, but satin/flat finish. Stay tuned.

 

[Dan95-5.0]

paint it flat black. this way i can mod my truck to look like yours now lol

looks great.

 

[kaczman]

ordered 2 paint guns for a flat/matte dark gunmetal gray.

ordered a 3" body lift, and some 35" mud grappler tires.

more info to come ;-)

 

[OffTrac]

Alright! Another ST on 35s in the making! Can't wait to see the results.

 

[TmacTrac]

you 2wd?


edit: nvmmm, i just saw the pic lol.

 

[kaczman]

Since I have shackles and TT, will I need to do any trimming for the 35s if I add a BL?
