Need help with "WHITE" truck.. need idea's..

Well, I sold my '06 almost a year ago and just picked up a '07 with a 5.9.....
Only has 15k miles on it..... The truck is all stock... The truck is a long bed and is all white.... Here's my problem..... I don't really care for the white too much.. Looks like a work truck.. I need to make this truck look a little better...
So I was thinking about painting the bottom part silver or gray.. To break up some of the white.. I took off the black body side molding already... This week it's going to get a leveling kit, some rims and 35's... If anyone has any pics of a cool looking white truck or any good ideas on what I could do to make the truck look better, I'm all ears.. Thanks and let's see some pics and hear some good idea's!!

Drive through deep mud puddle.
Don't rinse.
Repeat.



This technique can be effectively used to disguise just about anything

Mine's pretty much the twin to yours, but with clearance lights. And it really does look like a work truck! Last time I crossed the border into the US, all the border guard wanted to know was whose truck it was.

I actually like it all white though, won't be changing a thing except for a bit bigger/more aggressive tires when these wear out. Will probably tint the back window too. Looks totally retarded with the rear door windows tinted but not the back window.

A nice touch is some rims and tires, really does help set the truck apart. Also, a two tone would look nice, possible with fender flare in that same color. A tan would look good, I thought I saw one in the classifieds set up like that?

OK, so couldn't find it there... but it would look like the King Ranch Fords, which I thought the two-tone looked good.

Not a big fan of the two tone or fender flares but thats personal choice. I would tint all of the windows, add some chrome molding, and some nice wheels to go with that leveling kit.

Tint windows, debadge, and add black instead of chrome. I like the looks of a plain truck, less is more. After your level lift and tires, it'll look totally different.

Look in my gallery. I have a white truck and I have done a few things to make it look better IMO.

Install a KORE leveling kit, some good looking wheels (not black) a semi agro tire, debadge it.

Tint the windows new exhaust and intake. I don't know who makes this but I've seen an aluminum ehaust fitting installed in the bed and the tail pipe connected to this I don't know how well it worked but it looked real cool. The guy that owned it was happy with it.

I don't know who makes these either but there is a running board that is a tube with three steps welded on it two for the doors and one to get in the bed.

If your truck came with the orange warts on the roof color them. I hate them on my truck.

I'm not sure if I like the hood scoop thing yet but I'd give it some thought.

Clean trucks look the best

Good luck.

I had the same concern when I bought my All White 03. I did a black tape job, added black cross bed tool box, black tonneau cover plus more. You can see pictures on im Image Event Album.

Scroll down to Album # 14 White Ghost

You may enjoy the albums of my other Toys located at the same site.

I think white looks good with chrome/stainless. I don't like white trucks with black wheels..etc. Here is mine. I have also added 295 Toyos since this photo was taken.
