Looks good. JD does awesome work.

Thanks and yes he does, I can't wait to get the mirror caps painted and on. that will make it look even better, then the suspension and tires wheels will be huge difference. so excited!

Have you decided what your gonna do with the suspension?

not exactly, I know its gonna get 4 linked for sure, and traction blocks are a sure thing. not sure how high I wanna go just yet. I want a 4.5" lift but not sure what i'm gonna do yet. probably won't touch the suspension until spring, when i get money for wheels and tires.

well i decided to go with 22" bmf novakane death metals, with nitto 420's they should be on the truck by next weekend if I have some free time. so the plan is to drive stock height for a little while. maybe lower it an inch all around and see how i like it. once these tires wear out, i plan to go to toyo open country mt in 37 and it will get lifted 3-4"

Mirror caps are getting painted, and should be done by the weekend, and painting to match will continue!

How the hell did I just see this? lol

Very nice brotha!

The dpc has got you all hot and bothered!

Rigid Dually fog light kit showed up this morning from the diesel cartel.

I absolutely will! The chrome part will be gloss black, base, clear. Then the louvers are gonna be painted to match, which is 4 coats, primer, base, metallic flake and then clear, should look sick. And the f350 lariat emblem comes off, then the louvers come off the chrome trim. So nothing has to be taped off even.


Looking good. I dislike 99% of aftermarket wheels but those look sharp on your truck.

Thanks, it took a lot of looking at other trucks on here to decide what i wanted for my truck.

fog lights only. and pictures don't do them justice even, they are brighter, then they look. and i have both of them aimed all the way down.

thanks, and they are pointed as far down as i could get them! and they still hit plenty high enough and light up the side of the road just fine. I ordered the flood pattern and its perfect. there are a lot of deere around me, and i'd rather be able to see them easily. then not see them and hit one. I think it's time i do some go fast goodies for my build, its looking pretty stellar right about now. needs make some more noise!

Peanut butter jelly time lol. For real though, turbo

As bad as i want an atmospheric turbo, i think an egr delete, cold air intake, 4" downpipe with 5" exhaust and no limit cold side kit is probably a better option. Then do the 75 or 76mm turbo.

Good looking truck either way man. Love those grilles. I just get tired of buying all the little crap that doesn't do a whole lot and just go after the big fish
