I got my bull bar installed the other day and installed my billet grille last night and this morning i went and got a flowmaster. I just got them to replace the stock muffler and it sounds great. It's the 40 series, I'm glad I went with the original 40 because it's not as loud as I thought. Maybe because I didnt go with duals though. Anyways heres some pics of it.

 

 

truck looks nice i like the black bull bar , not sure about the yellow light covers i think it would look better with black or no covers but what do i know its your truck.

 

I know the yellow covers are cheesy looking but When i ordered the lights i ordered the black stone covers but I didnt know it was only one so now i only have one so I ordered another one and it should be here next week.
Heres another pic of the grille. I'm gonna add some lights behind it when I decide which kind I want.

 

Man, I need to get a bull bar. They look awesome!!!

That looks great!!!

 

the bull bar to me just doesnt do anything.. for looks only??... doesnt protect the lights if your running through brush. i dont know.. IMO.. but its a cool look, i havent seen the black!.

i just like more protection!!!

hey professor ... one more thing.. what size are those tires?...

 

The tires are 305/70/17 maxxis buckshot mudders. They are just under 34 inches tall and no rubbing. I thought about going with a full brush guard but I dont like how the front of the grille is slanted and the guars sticks strait up leaving a gap between the guard and the truck. The manik guard is made to fold backwards and forwards a little so it looks good but when you need to work on it you can fold it forward a little. I wanted it but it was like 800 bucks

 

Excellent choices on that grille and bar; it looks sweet!!

 

Man - that looks great!

 

I'm not much on those yellow covers, I'm glad you ordered some other ones. You could still paint them the color of your truck or something though. But anyways, how are you maxis tires holding up. I'm getting ready to get tires in the spring and my local dealer sells alot of them. Just wondering how well they hold up being that I drive alot of interstate.

Truck is looking good,

Did that grille require cutting? Looks great by the way!

 

The tires are holding up pretty well considering my driving habbits. They are good tires and I've known people that have had them last 40K or more but usually they last bout 25 to 30K. They're really good in the mud and have givin me no problems. I rate them a 8 out of 10 for overall performance.

And about the grille, you dont have to cut anything. You just have to pop the old bar style or honeycomb grille out and sit it in and connect a few brackets. You do have to drille 4 1/8 holes on the bottom of the grille surround but it is not noticable unless you have the hood up. It's really simple and it only took me and my dad about 45 mins to and most of that time we were looking for a torx head screw driver. It's easy and I think it looks better than the boltovers.

 

i like i like. nice choice on the black. it looks good with your two tone paint
