Well, I took some more pictures of the truck today. Just thought I'd post them up. The sad part is I washed it yesterday. I got a few specs of mud from the yard and having to go through it where it was wet from rain. Then the rest is pollen. It just shows how bad it is.

Anyway what do you guys think?

 

I really like the truck. I'm not crazy about the blue bulbs though, they kind of bother my eyes. Still think you should go with the chrome coated bulbs, that way it's clear when they aren't on, and light up orange when you need them. Idk though, maybe it's just me, but for the lift on that truck, I just think a 35" tire would look amazing. Seems like those tires are wide enough, but lack a little height for the lift of that truck. I think the next time you get tires, 35" would be perfect for that lift. Also, not crazy about the big anetenna on the roof (is there a reason for it?). Either way I thinkthe truck looks badass. Overall that truck looks mean, and I can see you take care of her. You remind me of me lol, always so **** about weird **** that nobody really cares about, but it's a good thing, it's what seperates your truck from the rest of them, good work!!

 

Yeah I agree I think height wise the 35"s would look perfect but if I go with a 35" I either need more lift or different wheels. These will rub at full lock when I hit a bump now so I think 35"s would really rub when turned far. I might could make do with them but I've gone with 33"s again in the past as I don't really want much rubbing. It's because of the wheels being so wide and the backspacing. If I went with a 8" wide wheel I could probably run 35"s.

The big antenna is a CB antenna. I've had others make fun of it but I use it some when hunting. I mostly ride with others so don't use it a ton. The other times it's nice is on the interstate if there is a wreck or something you can usually know about it far in advance and go around it. You also hear about police and where they are sitting if you turn it on. I ran it for a while then took it off and ran it without one for a while but it's been back on there for a year and half or two now. I am not super fond about the looks but I like having the CB even though I don't use it a ton. It's just a magnet mount so I can remove it easily.

Yeah like you I'm pretty **** about my truck and want it to be perfect. Others seem to think I'm crazy about this. I have a couple dings that are small and one dent but you can only see it at angles so I haven't gotten it fixxed yet. I was quoted $140 to fix it which isn't bad but it just doesn't stand out too much so I've left it alone. My truck isn't perfect but it's a lot better than a lot of other things on the road out there. I really like having it as close to perfect as I can.

Do you like the clears or the stock corners better? The more I look at it the more the clears really look better to me. I'm starting to like them more and more.

 

I love the clear corners. Just makes the truck look mean. To me, as soon as I see clear corners on a pickup truck, I think two things. One, it's probably going to be loud when it goes by me lol, and two, it looks custom. Just like looks of customizing. As I said, I don't like the blue bulbs, but it's personal preferance obviously. As I said before, I think the chrome coated bulbs look much better, and make the clear corner actually clear, but that's just us battling for who is more **** lol. Anyways, goodwork on the pickup and keep up the hard work. I do like that truck a lot. I think if you went with 35s, you should just get the offroad edition wheels. I just really like the look of those wheels, and would look great with this truck as well. Your truck is an offroad edition, did you sell your wheels, or were they not on it when you got the truck?

 

I like the CB, it reminds me of the Bandit. now you just need a plate that says BANONE

 

No I bought the truck used. I've had it for several years but It was still used when I got it. It didn't have the offroad wheels on it and when I asked about them the guy said he had sold them about a month before I got the truck. I wouldn't mind having a set of the offroad ones for winter use. The winter is just hard on these. I like the design of the offroad wheels but I wish they stuck out the sides more. When I got this truck not a scratch ding or dent on it. Actually I take that back I saw one tiny rock chip when I got it. Not in as good of shape as it was but not bad now either. It was basically in new shape when I got it.

 

I like the clear corners on your truck, too. I got black corners for mine, because I don't think chrome looks good on bright red:

 

I guess at heart I'm a ricer and like this stuff. I miss the days where I could go down to about any local store and pick up clear corners for $15 from APC or Eurolite. Even thought a lot of guys hated APC I thought most of their stuff was decent quality at a really nice price.

While we are talking about clear corners I thought I'd throw up a few pictures of my 96 Accord with clear corners and clear turn signals. The picture with the amber turn signals is the clear lenses and Eurolite amber bulbs. This setup has been on here for quite a few years. Probably 4 or 5 years if not more than that. It's been like this for a long time. I have a spare set of clear turn signals I got used in a deal for some tail lights and a set of rear clear lenses but I didn't like the clear lenses on the rear as much as the red ones so I didn't put those on and I already had the clear turnsignals so I kept those as spairs. I bought some APC tail lights though for $21 shipped off eBay when they were $200 or so new. I got the turn signal lenses which were $15 the rear lenses which were another $15. I wanted these but coudln't find them and some $200 APC tail lights for $.99 with $20 shipping. He gave me bulbs too. I only used the tail lights and some bulbs though. I'd say it was an awesome deal even though I had the clear turn signals already. Here are some pics of that car.

 

Those look good. Have anymore pictures? I think thats the first time I've seen black corners on a truck.
