Come on with those wheel pics!!! I can't wait to see them! I've got Black Helo Maxx 6's on the stock Rugged Trails on my truck now and I'm kinda sick of them slinging stuff all over the truck even though I have the mud guards. I know when I get bigger tires it will sling stuff even more and I'll have to probably lose the mud guards so if this looks good I may look into having my stock wheels powdercoated as well since they are just sitting here collecting dust. If you don't mind me asking, how much did it set you back? Are they shiny looking like polished aluminum?

GA - Thanks, I'll get you those pics tomorrow. I love them, and the best part...it cost about 120 bucks total. The finish is amazing, I was amazed. I was expecting a gritty flat finish, and these are slick, glossy. The guys at doscount thought I'd painted them...nope. The hardest part was getting the centercaps painted to match.

I'll get more details to you soon.

Tuff - What happened to that pic? Holy Moly man...my eyes!!
Thanks for trying.

Thanks Fellas. I'm trying to decide if I should black out the badges and throw on some black chrome exhaust tips. I received the Bully smoked 3rd Brake light today, and I'm not sure how to tackle that. Connections are way different than I imagined. Oh well so much for plug and play.

Tuff - your old lights look good on my truck. Thanks!

Looks good! I may do it or I may go with 17" XLT gray spoke wheels. Don't know which would look better if I decide to get rid of the Helo's. If there's any more info I should know, let me hear it b/c I'm gonna consider doing this if I can find someone to do it.

There's really nothing to it. Just be sure your powdercoater can get you the finish you want. Then, its just a matter of prepping the centercaps and getting them to match properly. I love it, wife hates it...couldn't be better.

Dang there's a lot of black on that truck.

A mate has a similar looking ride (same bullbar, same running board, etc, except chrome 22's on a '06 FX4) and has the "black chrome" tail pipes coming out the same way as yours. Looks a million $$$'s. Just a suggestion.

Sweet ride.
