    Robert,
    Im gonna give a little constructive critisism here so please dont take this personally.

    First off, you have a nice truck. That bieng said, you have painted plastic engine accesories blue.
    Come on man, there is no other blue on the truck so it looks terrible.
    The truck is completely nasty in the photos, under the hood especially. Why would you have engine parts painted, but not even wash down any dirt?

    Blue lights up in the front of the truck like that are soooo illegal its not even funny, despite that it looks Ricey as hell.

    As Abe mentioned, windshield wipers gotta go....factory look for them.

    I am making a list to help...

    1. Take all blue anything OFF of the truck.
    2. Factory Wipers.
    3. Regardless if you use the truck for work or not, a good detailing never hurts.
    4. Once you get it back to the factory look, then you can start modding the correct way.
    5. Lift it up a bit.
    6. Wheels / larger tires

    That is more than enough to make any truck look great.

    I hope you are not offended, because thats not my intent. I just want to help you and Im sure 90% of folks on this site will agree with me.

    If you were local, I would definitely help you detail it and get you going in the right direction.

    Take care and keep us updated on your truck.

    Again... you have a very nice truck.

    Mike :peace:

    ya i understand

    the motor has been cleaned a week ago and doing that caused 2 misfires

    the blue will be matched with calipers and the lift

    never been pulled over for the blue parking lights or led strips and ive passed tons of cops

    the wiper blades arent ricey imo they are chrome no carbon fiber and they are different

    and im not mad or anything but i dont want a truck that looks like everyone else's

    and plus the led strips get attention in parking lots

    also I cant keep my truck clean for **** lol as you see in the pic above the last i live on a limerock road and i work on a farm

    trust me i keep my truck as clean as possible when its not cold or raining

    Im glad you didnt take my reply the wrong way. I honestly was not trying to be mean or downplay your ride at all, just honest with the way I see it.

    You are on the right track by hanging out here with these guys and getting tips. In the end, its your ride and you do what YOU feel is best.

    You sound like a cool kid with a good head on his shoulders so just take your time and the truck will turn out awesome in the end.

    :peace:

    I'm just dressing it up and gonna lift it and add some prerunner fenders and either a custom valance or bumper

    Then after all of that is done I'll get the 2 dents and the little dings fixed and paint the bottom white
