Truck looks nice, glad to hear the story behind it. I love the black/silver treatment, I even considered doing the top half of my truck black at one point.

Some mod recommendations:
Black Headlights(Harley Davidson versions)
Smoked tail lights
Grill-black or Harley version to match the wheels
PTM handles.

Your old rims definitely would have looked killer with your new paint job but the Harley's look good as well.

Do you really need a camper shell? Why not just a PTM bed cover? If you need it then I understand, but I'm not a big fan of them.
Thanks for all the compliments guys. I've been looking at getting the headlights painted but it seams like too much trouble so I might get some from Ebay. I will try and smoke the taillights myself soon. I plan on getting the plastic handle covers and painting those. I still have the black rims but the tires are shot.
The camper shell is really more for when my dad borrows it. He does a lot of charity work and takes food from food banks down to Mexico. He has helped me fix the truck so I want to do some thing for him too. The only grill I've ever thought of getting is the saleen grill.

the saleen grill would look sick (check sig) i have some what of the same black and silver setup and i have been thinking about doing my roof also like your since i 1st saw your truck
you have an awesome truck Jose :cheers:

Nice pictures, but he should take the FX4 stickers off. That's like having a Z71, lowering it and putting big wheels on it. :lol:

thanks guys! After that scare today I'm glad my truck is in better shape now. I dont remember it riding so smooth even before the accident. I still want to do my other mods and add some of the ones you guys suggested. After having the front end checked out today I am more confident in doing future mods like the drop! The best part about today was I paid my buddy in junk tires and only $14 out of my pocket!

Stickers don't belong on any car or truck, ever. :nono:

Seriously, stickers are for kindergarten kids who don't piss their pants, not for decorating cars. :D





IMO, of course. :D2

Its funny cuz I was thinking about that this weekend. I have a flowmaster on but I have a SI/DO flowmaster sitting in my office I'm thinking of installing it lightning style. I want to get a supercharger in the long run. If I get the CAI I need the Tuner for sure so I was thinking of getting the Gryphon. That way I can get the custom tunes. The only thing holding me back is the lack of cash!

Ok so a performance upgrade is coming soon. I'll show it off later.
As for blacking out the headlights I'm torn now between adding the 07+ Mark LT headlights

or go with an Ebay set like these, minus the halo!

The second pair I thought about getting but I didn't like the turn signal area had the "ribs" on the lense (for lack of a better word), and that they are not a true projecter they still have reflective light that shoots out from the sides of the projector.

IMO your truck would look sick w/ blacked out standard heads, still just my .02

well 2 weeks ago I had to balance the tires and replace my lower passenger ball joint. Today I went in for an alignment. As you guys know my truck was in an accident back in 08 so I knew I might need more work than just a simple adjustment. Went to Pepboys and as I feared I needed a caster alignment kit to get my passenger wheel with in specs. I had it all done so now my truck rides straight again!
