Man that looks great. Do you have a lift? Are you getting any tire rub?

Great looking rig - how's the ride?

Everything's cool but the chrome hubcaps.

TexasCTD

Thanks for the compliment. I have gone back and forth about the chrome centers. Maybe I need to start a poll... Some say they like it better with. Some without. I am kinda in between. Here is a pic without them.

Lose the hubcaps for sure

Also, from the looks of it, I think the de-badger crowd is gonna beat you up over that tailgate

TexasCTD

I may lose the hubcaps for a month and see how I like it.

I do like it debadged...and glad I did it.....but I don't think I can part with my beloved "C" cummins badge on the tailgate. I have actually considering putting them back on the sides of the truck too. Or maybe 2nd gen badging. Just a thought.

DiEseLjunKy

Yeah that "C" badge just belongs I dont care what anybody says. To flow with the theme of the truck though it would look better, I think, if it was flat black instead of chrome. I'm not criticizing your truck. It's really sharp. You can leave it as is and it's still cool but if it was me and I had mine blacked out it would be all or nothing

TexasCTD

I sincerely appreciate your comments. I like constructive criticism.....so critique it all you want. Please.

If my truck was any other color, I agree that blacking out the badges would be an awesome idea. But since mine is already black I don't think you could see the badges if I did it to mine.


When I look at different photos of my truck I sometimes think....dang..there is just something NOT quite right about it. Not sure what it is or what I should do. Then other times, I look at it...and don't want to change a thing. Currently, im contemplating going up to a bigger tire size next time I buy and possibly mud terrains. I don't know.

I can sure spend money faster than I make it.

No lift that is all stock suspension. I dont get ANY rub at full lock on the control arms but they ever so slightly rub on the inner fender. I have already taken care of that though. It also was catching the bottom portion of the plasctic fancy peice on the front bumper. I trimmed that with my die grinder. The back fender peice--I used a rubber mallet and kinda beat the fender in just a little on the curved piece of the metal portion of the fender to push back the plastic liner.

After those little things--I get no rubbing at all.


Thanks for the compliments

No lift. 35x12.50x17 procrap a/t's. Wouldnt recomend this tire but I would recomend this size.

This looks really good...I actually had the same idea with mine, just haven't gotten around to it...only my truck is mineral gray...hope that it will look as good as black on black though. Nice lookin vehicle man!

Looks great JRS. I may have to switch to that tire size in BFG M/Ts.

TexasCTD

Thanks alot Derek! I have no doubt that the mineral gray will look just as good. Maybe better! Good luck with it and be sure to post some pics.

Robert your truck definetly looks awesome with no badges and the powdercoated wheels. I wonder how it would look with the center caps black as well? I have the BFG M/T's now and they look great and ride awesome.
