Truck looks great! almost as nice as mine! lol jk, but did you say 1/4 million for it? did you have someone do it or did you do all the work yourself? my guess 1/4 million is with the labor charges.
Sick truck tho! keep up the good work!

OK David, now you've heard from the rest now I'll tell you what you really need to do.
You've gone this far, do the stacks.. nothing crazy like 7"or 8" but something useful and tasteful.
Black out the intercooler ends like previously mentioned
and get the fairlead rollers or at least the frame forr it done also.
Then black out the lugnuts. I found some awesome ones on ebay that were fluted like a rifle barrel.
I like it all very much except that the front wheels just look awkward to my eye. I guess that I like the deep dish look of the rear wheels and not the dished out of the front. To bad you couldn't get a similar look on the front. Something like those super singles with the real fat front tire. I know you would loose and practicality then but it would look "finished" and ready to roll over anything.
Anyway it is cool to watch someone with the means to play with the same kind of toys as us and allow us to live our fantasies vicariously through your reality.

It's Time to say GoodBye to OPTIMUS...
I am moving up to an even larger (and more insane) truck and wanted to let everyone know here who has been so helpful and supportive through the whole project that they have a chance to get him.
I will still have a Cummins in my new truck so I won't be leaving the boards and in another month or so, my school schedule should be such that I can start getting back on regularly.
