Exactly what I was gonna say Some manifestations of Optimus I have not cared for, but the final product is extremely well thought out and tasteful, IMO--way to go!

Great job, Wiggs! I have watched the buildup of this truck and it has really came out great. You done a good job paying attention to all the details which in my book, is what's most important.

I'm going to agree with RyeThomas. The exhaust needs just a little something. Maybe a black chrome tip or something like that. Or you can just go ahead and do the black stacks like you have thought about doing and take the truck one more step over the edge. LOL, I guess I'm going to get you to spend some more money! Sorry, buddy!

Black RBP exhaust tip would be perfect. Mostly black with a touch of chrome to match the lugs, etc.

BTW, nice truck dude!

Thanks Guys!!

I do want to at LEAST get the exhaust blacked out b/c I agree it's the weak point and at some point I will have the other intercooler stuff blacked out.

As fo the stacks, i REALLY wanna do it, but I need to decide if it is worth the money because I need to mod the diamond cover plate which is going to be the big expense there; however, I am sure Iw ill probably do it since I no longer want to dump black smoke on anything I tow with an open trailer!

If you find your camera?

Its about time you made some youtube videos. Get out there and and start recording some SICK footage and I will make you one killer youtube video.....

Seriously I feel the need to create your video because it bugs the heck out of me when people have sweet rides only to have lame youtube video's.

You gotta do it right.

PM me if it sounds like something you want to do.

Your's will be alot better, I just didnt have much material to work with but you get the idea.

The better footage you get the better you video's will be.



P.S This is the best version yet, like others said I wasnt feeling the version 3.0 but 4.0 is just right and like the chrome lug nuts.

Sweet looking ride, looks very industrial..

I have a really nice HD HDD camera that I cannot find for the life of me; as soon as I do, I will get some really good footage together and let you know!

could you tell the "short version" of the story of the rear fenders, how they were done, what materials, hours involved, etc? About what could we expect to pay for a set?

David I'm not sure that having a stack is going to protect anything you're towing from getting sooted up brother...
