That IS a sexy pickup. I will say I don't like the chrome strip on the sides, but I don't care for chrome much anyways lol. But definitely a good looking pickup.

I am interested in this.
My truck has the speedo gear for a 33" (305/70/16 or 285/75/16) tire, but I have 35's on it. So when I record my mpg, I divide the number by 33, then multiply that number by 35. So to correct for yours, if your speed sensor thinks you have stock tires, divide by whatever the stock tire height is, and then multiply by 33 (I'm assuming you have 285/75/16's).




Hell, everyone else is quoting/reposting this picture. I will too.

Took them off in about 10 minutes with some fishing line, and lots of picking at the adhesive. Paint/application was another hour long. 15 minute drying time between coats, 3 light coats and 1 wet. Krylon Satin finish. Also tedious cutting of. 3M tape.

Gave the truck a wash today, first bath for it in a few weeks. Armor All'd the tires and wheels, tires are now shiny and black, wheels are shiny, I've got some green container Turtle Wax to put on in a little bit. Also used Armor All on the tailgate and rear bumper trim, got it all nice and black again, it'll stay black for a few weeks before needing another coat. Here's some pictures took with my cell:









And a couple pictures of the pop in law's '88 Ram Charger, they were over for a Father's Day Cook Out.

Nope. Armor All gives a nice deep black look and helps repel dirt... Also why I like to use it all the wheels and tires along with wax, especially on the front's, keeps the brake dust from sticking.
