I'm gonna do this! How tall did you cut?

 

Darren your truck is beautiful!!! What are the specs on the wheels? Do the stick out much past the fender?

 

Mine is about 8"!

 

Darren when are you going to take off the old man steps. Makes me think you're in 60s or 70s.

 

Thanks man. They are XD Monster 778s in 20"x9" +18 offset, 5.71" backspace.

With the Toyo tires side lugs, they are just a half inch past the OEM fenders. They stuck out more on my old XLT which did not have fender flares.

Old pic of the backspacing.

Jeeze man, no body cares to hear about that kinda stuff, keep your filth out of my thread Brent!





I have no intention on removing them unless I am replacing them. I don't want black step bars as I feel it will look too blacked out. I wanted the OEM Harley bars but they are basically only for looks. I use mine to retain the great shape of my front seats. I thought of the 4" rectangular FX4 step bars chromed but I don't know. I like the 5" bars, but I agree they do have a bit too much of chrome. I thought about chromed N-fabs, but would it look tacky?

 

Same reason I have my steps, to not squash the leather. No to the chrome n-fabs. I liked the way they looked on shanks12 truck, but he had chrome everything. Plus are they chrome or polished steel? Chrome will be hard to maintain

 

Black N-fabs wouldn't look good on mine imo, but I don't know. Its just I don't want to go too black. I'm not trying to be a black out. The 4" FX4 steps would probably be the ticket. Smaller in thickness, and a fully black step pad the length of the steps.

 

Yup. Those are the ones I have and are perfect combo, Mine are not even chrome theyre more of a polished stainless look. Looks like the harley skirt but extruded to function as a step sorta.

Let me ask you hows the weathertech mat holding up for the rear? I only have fronts and for the rear I'm running cheapy autozone mats

 

Haha I didn't realize how dirty that sounded until you pointed it out.

 

Hmmmmm. Finestyle, would you be interested in a set of 5" oval step bars? .

The rear weathertech mat is alright, for me up here in PA with some country side I am happy to have it for the mud up here, nothing else gets muddy inside. I have had a couple of spills on it too and my carpet never got touched. It is inconvenient to remove but I vaccume it before any removal anyways,

 

Added some stick-on glossy B-pillar covers from PillarCover's of eBay last week. Much better looking. Went from flat & ugly/sore thumb standing out,


To high class glossed piano finished reflecting as nicely as glass.



I changed my mirrors out with the ones I bought from Lakemarykid a little bit back, sanded mine smooth and prepped them for painting. Invested a good 5hrs into sanding and prep work. I dropped them off for painting Thurs the 4th in the evening with a note stating to get to them when he can. Sometime this week I imagine I will get them back, can't wait!


I also ordered some 3M Color Stable 5% tint for my front doors to replace the metalized Llumar I put on. I am just not happy with the over-shined look it gave me and will not be until it is removed and re-done. Color Stable series is guaranteed to be as black in color as factory privacy glass. We shall see. Stay tuned later this week!

 

Nice touches dude. I really like the gloss B pillars.

 

Are those mirrors. Done yet?

 

Truck is looking good and coming along nicely, mirrors done yet? When do the 09 badges go on? Cut the antenna? LOL Just giving ya a hard time.

 

I hope! I will give him a call tomorrow because I am getting very anxious myself!

Thanks! I hope they are, and if I can borrow $120 from ya they will be on in a week! .

I'm getting there i'm getting there
