I have an 06-08 bumper that's going on and a Reflexxion hood that should be here Monday. Also ordered the headlights with the smoked side marker.

Ouch!

Upgrades will be awsome though! At least the grill didn't get damaged

The grille was the first thing I checked I would have chased the guy down and been out for blood if it had gotten damaged . I never really gave any thought into getting a new hood before but an OEM hood is over $1,000 and the Reflexxion rfx705700 was $690 after taxes. Plus I haven't seen anyone around me with aftermarket hoods so it'll kind of stand out. That actually may not be a good thing

Now I have a fence to fix also. I should have just tanked the other guy instead of swerving.

Probably what I would have done ( granted without a passenger on-board ). But then again, i'm a bit sick minded. However, when it comes to complete morons on the road, I feel they should learn the hard way, and I have full coverage . When some idiot is texting behind me, swerving in lanes, seeing a big black truck brake check them makes them back off and put the phone down very quickly.

So this is the 705700 hood?



Looks sleek! If I had the change to get a hood I would want the low profile ram air style. Not real into cowls or giant hood scoops on these trucks.

Yup that's the one. I feel like I'm going to HAVE to get bigger tires in order to pull it off though. It's not a bad looking hood but Not sure how it's going to look on a mostly stock truck. Not like I haven't been wanting 33's or 34's for the last 2 years

Great looking truck. What fender flares have you got?? Those look just the right size for my tire/wheel combo.

I'm not really sure what brand the flares are. I bought them used off a member here last year with plans on getting 295/70/18's shortly after but it never happened. Now I'm thinking about 285/65/18's so depending on how they look with the flares I might get rid of them and get another set of stock flares.

It looks unproportionate with the wheels and tires I have now
