Okay, I just don't get it. We don't drive mini - Peterbuilts. Why do so many Dodge truck owners think they have an OTR truck, just because it has a Cummins in it?




Without the stacks (that are about 2 feet too tall), and the ugly white "Peterbuilt" mud flaps, this guy would have a nice looking truck.

Nice truck, but a bit over the top for my taste. The stacks are way too big for the truck. The flaps look functional, but black would look much better. In white, they stand out way too much and look cheap, IMO. The right size stacks and black flaps would look great. I feel embarrassed for him/her...

Remember if it don't run chrome it!

Those stacks are just wrong! Runningboards too. Peterbuilt??

Neat and clean is what draws my eye.

I generally don't bring it up, but there are TONS of CTD owners w/ more money than taste... tacky graphics, ugly wheels, gaudy decals and stickers, big wings and running boards, etc. etc. etc.

but yeah, that thing is just retarded looking! LOL!

Some guys just have the need to go BIG to make up for areas in which they are NOT.

Looks like he needed to go bigger on the stacks, something just looks strange. Maybe a 20" lift will work.

Lose the oversized stacks and the white mud flaps and it would be a sweet looking truck. I'm not thrilled with the running boards either, but I've seen worse.

On the other hand, I bet it sounds REALLY good with those big stacks.

That's the kind of thing that will happen occasionally when these guys discover diesel trucks.

make the flaps black and cut the stacks down to just above cab height [and change them to turn out type] and it would look good...

That's a nice truck other then everything on it. Those stacks are ridiculous.
