I had to take my old Ford and wrap the winch through the wheel and with like 20 feet of slack back up as fast as she would go in reverse about 5-6 times to finaly get her to pop off the rotor. Then Amaricas tire wanted to argue about replacing it. I told them after spending $1000 on tires and warantee and it only having 2000 miles on it that they had no choice. After coming unglued infront of a packed store to the manager He finaly went in the back and rolled me out a brand new tire and just asked me to leave the store!

Yeah it is getting there. I got my Nightrunner headlights and had them tinted at the local tint shop this week. Along with the blacked out tail and third lights to boot.

I am getting down to just a few more things. I think after I figure out what to do with the grill and fog lights I will be pretty much blacked out. I dont know if I am going ot do the fender flair bolts and lug nuts or not? I kinda like them the way they are along with the front and rear crome rams heads. but you never know they may also get all blacked out too.

lookin real good. need some eyelids! im still stickin with the tint the fogs and leave the grille. there is still a little shiny left in the headlights (even though they're black) and if you black out the grille, those headlights are gonna stick out real bad. You need the very slight chrome accents up front on the grille to balance it out

I was looking for eyelids but I couldnt find a place to buy them from. When I searched on here all I found was eyelids on peoples trucks nothing about where to get them from.
