Would be great to have better pics, but looks good!

Was a winch added? Looks like something else on the front bumper.

That first pic looks like it was a drawing from that old crappy cartoon "Dr. Katz." The second has something parked in front of it. Can you get better "after" pics?

How do you like the flat style flares? I've thought about them, but haven't been able to make up my mind.

Yeah I will take some more today I just snapped few on my way out the door this morning. I love the flat flares, but if you want tire coverage and don't like getting hit with debris from the road they are not for you.

Hmm, I guess I really couldn't care less about debris, until someone else gets hit with something and *****es. Legality isn't a huge concern in my area, most cops are too busy with crack heads and such to care much about wheelers.

See, THATS a nice looking truck. I've been arguing with my fiance for months now about the flat flares.

I like them. She doesn't. Sooo...I don't like them I guess?


Just a thought, how bad *** would it look if you had the exhaust tip coming out just before the rear tire on that passanger side?

I just got off the phone with the local parts supplier. Got a quote on the tube and glasspak needed to do this. Less than $50! I think, if I've got the cash after the psteering pump, its gonna be my next project. Oh, I gotta finish the floors, too.

Hah, I just keep adding stuff to the list.
