Great looking truck, especially for that price. A little more color matching on the rear end would look good.

Great looking truck, the only thing I'd do is pull the side moldings off. Otherwise super clean

You think so? I was thinking if I pulled of the side molding then the SS emblems would need to come off too! And I am trying to stick with the whole SS theme.....what you guys think?

If yer goin for the SS theme...then the moldings need to come off....paint the chrome in the grille...truck looks damn good. Id say the dealer put the badges on, not the factory. Id definately do the hood...maybe a roll pan...even if you left it like it is other than the moldings its looks nice

How's the ride now that you've dropped it? Does the ride change much when switching 20's to 22's?
