Looks awesome Brent! I thought about a 5" tip for my truck too but I thought it was a little too big for a non-lifted truck like mine but it fits your truck just right. I bought a 4.5" tip but it was 3.5" inlet and couldn't find anyone to bend 3.5" pipe around here.

BTW I plan on sending you my tail lights either this month or next. I'll be in contact with you.

Thanks guys.

Those are V-Led switchbacks in 6k.

And Edward, my tip has a 4" inlet. I bought a 3"-4" adapter from a trucking supply store here in town. It was around 13 bucks and made it look very clean. That's the route I would go!

Brent, the truck looks fantastic. Very classy. From the retro fits, to the painted fogs, so unique! You really need to get a day off and get those handles PTM. That is all it is missing right now. Painted buckets, with the chrome pulls. Get to it man!

I know it is all its missing! I would just really like to remove the pulls, but finding an easy way of doing that is proving difficult. It would really finish it in my eyes cosmetic- wise!

I think anything over a 5" tip on a gas truck is overkill. There is no point, plus it looks out of place. On a diesel it is a must.

Truck looks good regardless!

Looks sooo good man. Best looking Lifted 04' on the site BY FAR, hands down. That white and chrome just pops so much.

I personally love the big fat tip on these trucks. I agree that anything smaller than 4" is just goofy looking and the size of our trucks just dwarf the little tips. My Borla XR1s are here, and I'm going from DI/DO to SI/SO, and I may run the same size tip. Glad to hear you're liking the Bullets. Can we get some sound clips?

No kidding about the gears, especially with those SUPER heavy Toyos 81 pounds each! Man those things kill power (I got rid of mine).

Thanks sweetnlow! I'll have to see if I get some time I just might!

mSall- What are you running now? I really have no complaints about mine. My truck can do everything I want it to without complaining much at all, even towing a fairly heavy load. I remembered you saying you didn't like them awhile back, but never seen what you switched it up with.

Yeah, the Toyos weren't too bad cruising around on flat land (although bad mileage). Once I hit the mountains and some steeper climbs at elevation, I soon found that they just bogged down the truck way too much to be practical. But going to Duratracs, I have just as good offroad traction but have cut almost 80 pounds of rolling mass...truck is much happier in the mountains.
