Added some chrome door lever covers to accent the chrome wheels. $10 on eBay.

I think they look good. I didn't want to get the entire chrome buckets too as I feel they look cheap and tacky.

First two truck pics are zoomed in from a distance and not the best. Truck is also dirty in these photos.

 

for not being a chrome fan, those look pretty good....

I see we think along the same lines lately.....somewhat....even down to the dirty truck. but mine's always dirty

 

Those are unique and look good! If it wasn't such a high traffic area, white could have looked cool on mine. I went with the chrome stick on just because it was easy. Plus, a lot of the newer higher end trucks come like that anyway.

 

thanks, it was a decent change up from all ptm.

also blacked out the grille, and bug deflector (damn I hated that smoky brown color)

 

Looking good guys! Both those sets of handles look great.

I haven't done anything since the rims, aside from a drivers side front hub. This thing has a tendency to eat hubs. I've had two wheel alignments, replace my upper ball joints twice, lowers once, all with 6 hubs. 3 per side. The o be honest it's mostly road driven, with very light gravel roads every now and again.

Like Saturday!





Woke up to some squirrel tracks in my rim Sunday morning as well



These rims love dirt on the lip...

 

thanks, your truck looks great too!

all that dirt on new rims would drive me nuts....

 

Today I washed and put a coat of collinite 845 on. Need to do the wheels, tires glass and trim tomorrow.



The truck is taller than it seems in pics. The 3" rear blocks and the 2" front level add more than it seems in pics.

This pic shows the only mark anywhere on my truck. On the front fender at the crease. Someone opened their door into my truck apparently. If people didn't suck, I'd have no marks anywhere.

Still, for being 7 years old, that's not bad.

 

that looks good. your skills at truck care....

that little ding must suck. the only one always does

 

Finished detailing the truck today. Tires, wheels, trim and glass.

Looking good. That little ding would drive me towards getting a set of OEM flares on mine (which I have been debating??)

 

Replaced the chrome overlay on my tailgate.

 

It's amazing what a little dressing on the tires can do -- that first picture you posted with the dingy tires it didn't even look like you had done anything to the truck. With the tires clean and the white letters looking fresh it seems like a brand new truck!

 

Haha I agree. Shiny clean tires really do complete a detail job!

 

Not much today but I converted my front blinker bulbs from a 3157 to a 3156. Now they aren't on when the headlights are on, just when the blinker is on. That kind of annoyed me.

 

changed oil....now she needs an alignment and I think a UCA....money money money....
