Here are some up to date pictures with 2009 Mirrors added and 2011 5.0 emblems.

Ya I heard of the mixed nuts club...they invited me to come out this weekend.....I'm on call till Sunday so I will see what I can do about coming.

I hated the old Mirrors and YES the new ones are sick...and they have a larger viewing area which makes them great for towing my Jetski!

I agree! The old mirrors flowed much better with the body lines, the new one just stick out from the style of the rest of the truck way too much.

i know im an off-roader and lifted trucks kinda guy and all...but i'd love to have the chance and the truck to build into something like this. i've even been looking for gen. 2's on craig's list and just can't find any :bawling:

regardless, great job on the build and i'm glad you're happy with it, that's what's most important :icon_thumby:

i love the new mirrors but they would look even better if you painted them the same color as the truck. Great job

Paint Job.

Congrats on your work effort, looks like a nice and simple build, but when you open the hood....WHOA!!! You send pictures to that "Trucks show" on cable.
They might feature it in.

Is that a new paint job ? What color mix and paint brand ?

My 93 splash is in the same color but when I consulted with body shops, the color mix is complicated to duplicate because of the underlying metallic they claim. I just want to repaint like yours to refresh the truck.

Thanks

i love everything on your truck except the rim/tire combo, i woulda put just a tad smaller rims and/or tires on the front because to me, it looks like a lowered 4x4 kinda. but each to their own and you are a talented builder and i give you props for this machine :)
