Shined up PICs

I know how you guys like pictures of these trucks so I figured I would help feed the addiction. We had a nice day this past Saturday so I got the truck shined up. Enjoy.

This is my favorite picture so far by a long shot:




I cant decide if black running boards/nerf bars would make the truck look better or worse. What do you guys think?

Nice looking truck. I think a set of wheel-to-wheel N-Fab bars with the the step for thje bed would look good. Then again, that's what I want so I may be a little biased.

I might consider leveling it in the future, I am going to wear out these tires first though.

I think the N-Fab bars are what I am going to wind up getting. I cant decide on the wheel to wheel or just the cab.

I also think I am going to try to find a set of the fender flares that come on the lariat and Fx4 for my truck. I think they really make a nice difference. If i could find black I think I might get them and the step bars coated in Line-X; maybe the lower portion of the doors and bed too since I have already noticed a few rock chips in the paint and I hate the look of mud flaps.

I am also looking at the N-Fab steps...wheel to wheel triple step. I was looking at Line-X along the lower portion too, but for the price they wanted, I'm having a hard time justifying it. They wanted something like $800 for it. The bed is only costing me $450 without getting the tailgate done (I have the step, but will do it after I remove the handle). I think I'll opt for mudflaps.

I don't like the color all that much, at least not from that picture. Looks like its needing something to break it up a little. You can try to have someone photoshop the bars on there to see what your truck will look like with them.

Unhappy

I agree with ruffin-it, before you dish out all those funds have it photo shopped, it works out real well. It will also give you a chance to see what other changes/mods you can perform or not. Still, a nice looking truck. Mine looks like crap here in upstate from nowhere.

OEM Chrome would go perfect with the grill, bumpers and center caps.
