That toolbox looks really out of place though.

You did the grille surround yourself?

the rims where steel wheels that were painted black by mmmbuckles and i just used a couple coats of adhesion promoter and krylon satin black on them. on the grille surround i scuffed it up and used the adhesion promoter then used duplicolor ford royal blue metallic paint. ( it only comes in 5oz cans and i bought the b/cs are out of it and even had one driven up from houston) it took four cans and wet sanding then a couple light coats of clear and some plasticx. i think it turned out almost the same color as the truck. the bumpers and rocker panels were rhino-lined by a local truck shop.

Looks good, time to lose the box. I had mine on for awhile...thought i liked it. Took it off a few months later and it looks so much better. Either get a low pro one, or one of the ones that doesnt go across the bedrails.

PS your next mod deffinitly needs to be a lift, even if its just a spindle one. That front end needs to be higher.

Thank. i know i know the box will be changed soon enough. im going to replace it cuz i took it off when i painted the rear window trim and it just looked weird. plus i need the storage space for all my stuff. also i need it up over the rails, ive had one that wasnt and i just loose too much space. so itll probably be a low pro black (uws if i had the cash).

o yes sir it will be up higher soon enough. i plan on doing at least spindles, rear blocks and AAL and possibly BL by next summer.

The truck looks sick. And if your low on cash why not just paint your toolbox. I just used some 97cent spray paint from walmart and think it turned out good on mine.

Jake, I am just speechless right now! That looks so friggin SICK dude! AWESOME!

I must say, you should ditch the mickey mouse mirrors and get the XLT ones. They look better. But I know how it is with no money, so whenever

What are you going to do with the heads? I think blackoutV6's heads came tinted, but a shade of VHT could make yours look just as good.

Yea there is definitly some chipping but all i did was spray it with the paint. I bet if you were to take the time and do it right (clean it, sand, prime, paint, clear) you would be golden. And it would still be alot cheaper then buying a new one.
