just started a 3/4 drop

Are there any nice looking mirrors for these trucks? I would like to remove the elephant ears and put something like explorer mirrors or newer ranger mirriors.

NO!!!!! dude keep the dumbo mirros... im gonna rock mine bro

you can take the doors off, then the mirrors, weld up the 3 little holes in each door, then just put on some motorcycle mirrors (if you want to lol)

I cant make up my mind on what looks better on the wheels.
What do you guys think flat black or semi-gloss?

I'd worry more about the passenger side rear body mount instead of how glossy the paint on the wheels is right now if I were you. What is that, like an inch body drop or something?!?!?! lol

Might be just me, but it ruins an otherwise sharp looking truck.


Regardless, whatever the paint on the truck is like then match it. If the body paint is glossy then go glossy with the wheels. If it's flat then do them flat. If you're gonna re-paint the body soon then match what that will be.

Haha! yeah it's a 1" bd.

I need to shim the cab a lil bit

Here's a better shot from each side. Flat black rims or semi black.

I like how it looks here, just needs to go 1 1/2" lower in the front.

Heres the lates!

I fixed the cab sagging that SLIM pointed out, looks better.
I cut one round of coil to level it out with the rear....the ride did get
a tiny bit bouncy but not bad.
I bought some explorer center caps for the steelies! I like that taxicab look LOL!
The grill was painted flat black as well as the front bumper trim (those damn power 106 stickers where to hard to remove so I painted over them ha ha!)

Next on the list is to fix that damn tranny leak you see in the picks....POS seals!
That window trim also looks sh%$#! that will have to be painted soon.

What do you guys think about getting some clear corners and turn signals?
Where can I get them?

Thanks!
