    I don’t have a lot of chrome. I’m just a fan of shiny paint and shiny aluminum.

    Lot of sharp looking trucks. You guys must all run 8 inch cowboy pipes and are hard of hearing no one even answered the question! I know everyone likes to compare **** sizes with pictures!

    I’m looking to stick some trust fund baby money into a truck. See a lot of pictures with parts/accessories I’d like to look at but it’s hard to find exactly what I’m looking at

    The only “add-ons” on my truck are the painted visor, painted side window chops, and stainless half fenders on the rear. All I have to do is keep the wheels polished.

    All them lights make you look like a mobile Christmas tree! That takes some serious pride and dedication to keep them rigs looking that good though. You guys probably budget as much on truck washes, wheel polish and wax as I spend on oil and filters!

    Nice paint, bumper, fenders and visor matching paint imo classy look

    I like my uncle's classic. It grew on me the few months driving it

    I only have twin 5 inch black pipes but sure sound good even though I’m already deaf.

    I need more chrome!!!! Preferably Stainless Steel. I definitely need to get busy on mine. Got a bunch of chrome, and new chicken lights, mud flaps, all kinds of goodies, just waiting to be installed. Will update, if it ever gets done.
