I vote blue and white with the white roof. Gives it a classy look.

Re: Which one looks best?

Thanks for the input and the altitude/additude adjustments . I like the white down the center with a blue roof much better than I thought I would . If you want to chop it once more all blue , feel free . I like the removal of the rear flares also and it looks like someone stole my jack.

Re: Which one looks best?

the roof on my jimmy is white
I don't really like that look
i guess cooler in summer?
but in my case it looks like the whole roof comes off like the older ones
but to me just the sides look better
hope you don't mind i tried to make a pic with paint

Re: Which one looks best?

i like either the solid blue, or the white center and blue roof. I do think that the sides look OK, I might repaint the hood first and see what I think then.

Two-tone blue n white, loose the rails, powder coat the wheel centers gun-metal grey. And that would be off the charts. (imho)

Re: Which one looks best?

This isnt as good of a manipulation of the photo as Chromaholic's but it shold represent what an air ride setup would allow without cutting the bed floor or removing the inner fenders.I copied and pasted usnig MS paint but rather quickly so the area around the truck doesnt look as good . It also sort of shows what the all blue truck would look like .

I agree, either that one or the two tone with the blue roof look best to me. I know the two tone with white roof is more accurate, but I think its too much white.
