Luvnacumns- The steps I believe still have the factory hardware. If not, I could get them to you. And yes the third brake light is avaliable!
pdxgrease- I am not 100% on the logo, as that is not the actual one, just a quick representation of it. Also, with the logo and the grille being monochromatic, it will not stand out. I would normally do D Wiggs Motorsport but I thought I would just keep this one D.Wiggs I wouldn't do it if there was a lot of contrast because I don't want that part to stand out a lot. As far as black chrome, I have NO IDEA how it works, just know that it looks cool as hell!
blackdiesel- I am just not a fan of chrome much anymore; especially on Black. Not unless it is a very classy vehicle, like say a Bentley Continental GT or something!
socal610- The Road Armor fronts will hold the 12K Hydraulic just like my Road Armors did on my H2. You can even go 16.5 Electric, but to me 12K Hyrd. is better than 16.5 Electric!
xlr8tr- My .50 cal Desert Eagle will have to do !
runamuk- Thanks!

Wiggs,
Check out a company called T-Rex they make a grille that is clean like the Ford's without vertical or horizontal bars. The spacing looks perfect but the only thing that made me nervous was that it was an insert and you have to cut the bars out. I went ahead and did it anyway and have gotten nothing but compliments. Sorry no pics yet though.

Hey D,
Love the black, but still think you should go 19.5s on the wheels. The 22.5's are just 'TO BIG', imo. I know you were going to try to change my mind on that... , but it hasn't happened so far.
It would look more proportional maybe with this kit. http://www.megacablongbed.com/
Have you considered adding this to it??
Keep up the good work on the bombs!

Lookin good. have 2 say the grill is a bit much imo. Maybe shrink the logo down and drop it into one corner? It just seems a little big. Chrome stacks would look sweet coming out of the bed. I'm looking forward to the finished-ish product
Need a pic with all 4 rear tires smokin we all know it'll do it

If you come close to this look (minus the badge on the grille), it will be the best looking truck I've ever seen. I love the lines of the blacked out and debadged.
And the name *wiping tear from eye* Optimus holds deep meaning with me. Strong choice.

Wiggs you need to do a single 7" mitre stack cut short like not even to the top off the cab. And make it black if you look at my pics I had a single black stack on my old ford.

I dont know if I should let this out but I had and idea for the type of setup you have with a 10 lug conversion.
Take a set of 22.5s and machine them to a 22" and put on a set of 38"x22 Nitto Mud Grapplers. I have never seen this done but I think it would look CRAZY. I was going to do it to mine exept it was a bit pricey, those tires are like $500-$600 each. I know they sell 22" for the low rider guys, because they cant fit a big truck tire under the fenders.
I didnt like the tires avalable for a 22.5 so I thought it would be a wild look to run a big mud tire. Let me know what you think, Bodie
