Thanks 8ball. The wheels are AR Titan Series 20'sx8.5. They are wrapped in Eagle GTII's. The tire size is 275/45R20's. They work well and keep the overall wheel/tire radius very close to stock.

thanks for the comments on the box set up...and sorry, i didnt mean to try to steal this thread...but now i havent dont anything to my stock system...idk what options u guys have, but my stereo is just 1 cd but 4 alpine speakers...they arnt bad, they sound decent. idk the wattage but its not bad....to be honest, with the jls in that reg cab i did start to lose my hearing which has definately started to come back since i dont have a system anymore...as of right now, im grown out of the whole system thing, although it would be nice to get a little bass, but its not a priority at all...definately not cuttin anything up to put subs in...i may dynomat the doors and back wall ect. my cab is pretty quiet but that stuff does wounders. may dynomat the hood too. its not cheap though, and u do get what u pay for when it comes to this. but i def am not replacing my head unit...with the night runner package there are a bunch of black accients (sp) inside and where the whole wood or metal lookin incert all around the head unit, ac controls ect is gloss black and looks so good, i wouldnt want to mess with it...other things throughtout the inside are back as well, such as door handles, window/door button and surroundings, cup holders, guage cluster, night runner is stitched in the headrests, night runner logo in the guages, oh the seats are grey with black 2-tone incerts and some other things...i dont want to mess with the appearance inside...


as for your truck

exhaust
i have a friend that had duel flowmasters with slashed tips coming out the back at a 45 degree angle, you dont see it too much, but it looks killer

bumper
im at home for the weekend, sunday night or monday ill do a photochop for u...im thinkin top smaller portion chrome, bottom portion match factory paint..and ya they could chrome it, it would look good...

headlights
idk if u can, but im sure u can, take off your headlamps and take apart...take your bezel and paint it gloss black, if u need an idea, check out my truck, they did it to the night runners, it would look excellent on your truck

3rd brake light
i dont have, but need, as do u, a 3rd brake light cover....most come in polished allum....i always take mine to a chromer and have it chromed, less upkeep and you wont have to polish it all the time and it wont fade and become dull...i havent checked out the ones for our trucks yet, and idk what i should get for mine....only one i can think of is the 4x4 bc the ram head wouldnt look right IMO...it crossed my mind to have one made that side Night Runner in its logo font but figure thats too many letters and would look like crap....either way, when i do get one, i cant decide wether to get it smoke chromed to match my wheels or paint it to match the factory paint

tail lights
yours would look good "nightshaded"....i havent used this stuff but have seen it on cars...it comes in an arosol (sp) can and is like a tint.....id like to do it but i havent had any practice with it and am not 100 percent on it

oh, i know this is a small detail, but it makes a difference...from your pics i cant tell if your rear bumper matches factory paint or if it matches your front bumper...but get a liscense plate thingy...i know there are only 2 screws up top and none on bottom, but it will look a lot better

your truck is slick and i like it a lot...it has tons of potential too...everything takes time though

one more thing, get the factory fog light kit including factory switch, lights, ect....youll love it...and if u have the money or time....go ahead and experiment and buy true HIDs...then u can tell us what company, site/phone number, and part numbers including bulb and resistors to buy...but seriousely, youll love the fogs

Nice looking rig. What'd you pay for the wheels? Check into getting the E&G Classic Mesh grill. It actually opens up the front end of the truck. I haven't taken a pic of mine yet. I'm going to here real soon.

here is the photochop...the grey part on the bumper is supposed to be chrome, the lower half of the bumper is supposed to match your paint....althought it didnt come out like i thought...after this i think the whole bumper should be painted to match your paint. the headlamp is a bad chop but gives u an idea of it with a black bezel which i think you could benefit from.

it was a fast and chop and if u ask me, after doing it, on that truck the whole bumper should be balck, no chrome upper half. the black bezels really bring it together though and would look great. another thing that wouldnt be too noticable but would really smooth things out is shaving the antennea...ive thought about it but i dont have the money right now, especially since im about to purchase a tonneau cover and bed rug...that would look smooth
