New upgrades

austin229 · Nov 8, 2013

I have been wanting to paint match my truck for a while and I have finally been able to. I had the grill and bumpers painted and put some new wheels and tires on her. It needs some amps, but the plastidipped stock boards will do for now.

Looks really good!

Looks good. How do you like that plastic dip stuff for colour matching wise? My painted king ranch bumpers are starting to get pitted and rust.

I like it, my badges are holding up ok. It should hold on the bumper if its preped well.

i love how you did the grill, no one else does it that way.

Looks awesome! The grey on grey is a classy look.

Nice job! Love the grille! How big is your lift?

austin229 · Nov 8, 2013

Thanks, I like how it turned out. I have 4.5" Carli springs and 1.5" spacers... going off my brothers leveled 6.4 its closer to 7" of lift.... that's why my icon shocks are in the classifieds

Seems like the 6.7s sit higher for some reason. I had a carli 4.5'' lifted truck park next to me in my old 08 with the 7'' icon springs and it was dang near even.

Truck looks really good though, I like how you incorporated the grey into the grille.

I had 4.5 icons and 1" spacer on my 6.4 and I was even with my brothers 6.7 with just carli springs. I was going to do the ( ) part black but decided to go grey.

Well my driver running board started peeling today... anyone have nfab or go rhino steps? I may go with one of those

How about some amps?

TripleE44 · Nov 9, 2013

I had nfabs on my last truck before I bought amps. That hoop hanging down does its job but it's not that good at it. I always slid across the step when it got rainy and I had boots on.

The angle and position that the amps come out at is just awesome. So awesome, that amps were the first thing I bought for my new truck, even at stock height. I'm one of those guys that refuses to spend money unless it's completely necessary, some people call me cheap, but to me those things are worth every penny.

Yeah, I figured that. I guess I'll bite the bullet and get a set, I'll have to be extra nice to the ole lady...sounds like a great Christmas present.... until then, I used a razor to cut the loose part and sprayed it again it will work for now. If anyone uses the plastidip for whatever clean whatever you are painting with alcohol or windex I just used dawn and I'll end up having to redo some of it
