Default Newest truck pics.....

Been adding a few small odd and ends to the truck lately, and still have a few more to do. I still need to put on my color matched billet upper and lower grille that Colin (Hurst) did for me, and I'm also replacing my Hella Black Magic lights that are behind the grille, with a set of Hella 500's with HIDs. Also replacing the 3rd brake light on my cap with a color-matched one which is on the way to Colin as this moment. Still want to replace my rear bumper with a roll pan too, but that won't be for at least a few more months or so.

After almost 2 years of it sitting in the closet, I finally got around to installing my Plasmaglow Afterbuner lights (can't see them in the pics....I'm going to get a short video soon of them), but they work great.

The truck was washed, but I need to do a nice buff and polish, which hasn't been done in over a year. Also, the headlights are starting to get hazed up...I already bought the restorer kit, but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Also note that while the color-matched taillights look like you can see a lot of red through them, that's just because of the flash on the camera reflecting off of them. When the lights are off, they look like they were shaved, unless the sun hits them at the right angle. When they're on, you can see plenty of light through them.

Pretty much everything that's been color-matched on the truck was done by Colin (Hurst), except for the tails which were done by DominionTX, and the headlights which were done by myself.

Well, without further adieu, here's the current pics......

Your truck is the Grey equivalent of "murdered out". I think you're doin a good job, the truck looks great but the rusted tail pipe really stands out, a rattle can and 5 minutes should take care of that though.

Looks like you are headed in the right direction. I agree with hitting that rusty tail pipe with a little paint and while you are at it get that area by the driver's side tow hook in the front.

Thanks y'all. The tow hook is coming off anyway once I put the new upper and lower grilles on, and the tailpipe is getting cut down when I'm under there putting in the electric cutout and dump pipe. Planning on cutting off just behind the axle or so. So that'll take care of both of those things.

I don't intend to come off as mean, but I really hate the look of caps on a truck. They look like big campers. I love dodges, so I can see a nice looking truck and look past the cap, but yikes, I think that cap is really cramping the style of that sexy rig!!

They may not be the prettiest but after owning a truck with one I dont plan on going back. Unless I haul big things which I can borrow another truck for the cap makes the truck so much more functional.
