I knew I forgot to say that in my last post. Doh! I've been meaning to ask & kept forgetting.

Lisa, w/. no clear on there, unless there's some new tech IDK about, nothing. Not a dumb question at all. If ya don't ask the question, how to learn the answer?

I'm sure Jules will chime in if I'm wrong.

zebra, yes. As for the underbody pics of piping, I know they're floating around here somewhere. By time I think of it, it'll be answered probably.

I like it! As far as names go, you are on your own there. It will just come to you one day. I would definitely match the handles and maybe even the mirrors. I go either way on the mirrors though. Clear corner lights? It looks good though! I like it. I have always liked your rim/brake caliper combo.

Not a dumb question, and it's a question I plan on asking the painter tomorrow as I'm taking the truck back for some stuff.

Yes it is a side exit exhaust in front of the passenger and driver's side rear tires. And no, I don't have a picture of it floating around but I can tell you it's a crushed 2.5" pipe that goes under the frame, doesn't look good at all which is why I'm getting a new Fuel tank this summer when I pull the truck apart. I painted the pipe black to hide it as much as possible, and unless you're looking for it, it won't catch your eye. But it's not a pretty pipe. When I get a new fuel tank it'll be better.


Corey, this is the best I could do for the reflection shots. As you can see it just absorbs the light, there really is no reflection at all.

btw, those black lines are shadow's from the halogen lights, not defects in the paint job.

And without Flash, this color is what the truck looks like on a dark and overcast day. Kinda trippy!

No particular reason...I do like the stock hood for some odd reason, just looks clean. But there's no reason, I actually had a deal lined up for one but just didn't work out time wise for it to work out.
Think I shoulda gone with the HD hood?
