Or go back with All Chrome for the C Clamps and the 2 Bars? Surround will stay painted PTM and wire mesh behind the grill will stay black






Or go with the Black C Clamps and Bars






I am Leaving Chrome Wheels and Handles on the truck, if that helps.


Just a little chrome to go with the handles and wheels...but then I'd rather go homeless then chromeless!

Im thinking option 2.. Go Back to all chrome c clamps and bars. With the Surround PTM and the Mesh black instead of chrome it should look pretty good.

The reflectors are going to be black! Orange sticks out like no other

I really like that blacked-out grille on the red truck, but I don't think the same set-up on yours would be as nice since there wouldn't be as much contrast with the brown paint.

I do to, but the sub par job that was done on it makes it look like crap now. As we have talked about on this, Its hard to try to fix someone's screwup. So just replacing what i need to to make the truck look great again and still have a Somewhat stock appearance.

Once we get this bumper done she will be back to looking good again.

Would love to get a STX grill, But they are expensive and actually kinda hard to find.

Kinda my thinking also.. With the chrome i have on the truck now, i think it needs some chrome on the front.. If i had any other color than brown or black i would go with that black grill.

It's getting to be too much for me.

Mine only takes 45 min....trimming, edging, and self propelled push mower

I hear you, brother! In just two more weeks my wife (2nd grade teacher) and son (4th grade student) go back to school for the year!!! Since I work out of a home office and am, by nature, a bit of a loner, spending the entire summer cooped-up in the same house with the entire family is absolutely brutal for me!

This summer hasn't been as bad as past years since I've been traveling a lot, but that first day back at school marks the beginning of 9 straight months of pure bliss.....!!!!!!
