It does look good. Maybe you should think about painting the lower air dam and the center piece in the bumper where they are fading. It would look even better then

I noticed that too Weed, but am not sure the type of paint to use. I will of course paint the door and tailgate handles at the same time. I hate the way stuff fades so fast in the sun here.

Marx, the rims were supposed to go on with the tires. But as with any mod for the married man, it has to pass 2 check points, the wife and the wallet. My wife was all for new rims but my wallet yelled in protest.

ram bo06, I was going to put Zeons on but could not find any either locally or online. Apparently (so I was told) that they were on backorder. When I started researching what to put on the same issue with the Terra Grapplers came up repeatedly, they wear to fast. I like the look of them but with the miles I drive wanted a tire that would last me longer then a year. Some claim they last way past 50,000 miles. We will see now, if they wear faster then normal, hopefully the Zeons are available from backorder at that time.

Thanks for the compliments guys.

the new headlights REALLY helped.

I saw you on another forum. It might have been a ford forum? I was searching something and it was the first that came up, and you were in the thread. I specifically remember because of your location

Matt, I tried and tried with the old ones and they were just damaged beyond any sort of resurrection, so a new set was in order. A new set with the housings already painted, so that way I dont have to try taking stuff apart lol. I think the 2" level kit made a huge difference as well, looked silly to me at first but came together when I got rid of the highway tires.

When I only had a Ford truck I was on several Ford forums, now days I only haunt 1 or 2 of them. I have a forum for almost anything I am interested in lol.
