Thank you, you've got me and my urban camouflage figured out. lol I was going for the subtle, sleeper vibe. I get a lot of double takes.

Thanks! I love them too. Those are quiet pipes. I've got big cadillac mufflers tucked up under the cab. You can still hear the headers, and camshaft, but the exhaust note is subdued with no resonance. It makes a real difference when I'm running down the freeway at 3200 rpm.

I really like the stance and tire wheel selection.
No prob, It's dropped 2F/4R springs only. 1 1/4" swaybar on neoprene bushings, shortened panhard, relocated rear shock mounts, and heavy duty gas shocks all around. The tires are 255/70/15 BFG's on eight inch wheels with four inch back set. It handles great. It feels like driving a stock car. Everything clears fine with no rubs anywhere.

Thanks, It's all about the stance! I'll always like big fat tires tucked into the wheel wells of these trucks.

Thank You. Small things like shaved emblems, a little chrome, and tint go a long way. Less is more.

Nice to see a truck that's not flat black.
Plus I like white alot.
Excellent work!
Thanks, Flat black is like suicide out here in this desert. lol people do it though. Go figure? I got on the white kick about 15 years ago. It was right about the same time I moved to Nevada. It's so much cooler that it's only logical. It suits me

Thanks, I had to go with black. White wheels would be too much, and the black really makes the hubcaps stand out.
