I threw some electrical tape on the grille to see what it may look like painting every other cross bar black. What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment
dirtbike daron Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 i like it without the tape. your truck looks great. Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Try blacking out the whole thing. Either solid one way or the other. Quote Link to comment
bobjones Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 If you are going to stick with the stock green color I think you should re-crome the grill. If you weren Quote Link to comment
Rubberman Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I agree with you bobjones. Keep it the stock green look. But no matter what color you paint her, it's one badarse truck. And oh yeah, I think the grill looks better with it all chrome. Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 OK - all chrome it is! Thanks :D Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I would have to agree that the grill looks better without the black. And I dig the factory green as well. So.....Bob...... are you going to leave the bed hooks???????:rolleyes: What about the drip rails?????:rolleyes: It's a race truck you know. :D:D Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 The hooks and rails stay. The grille gets no paint. It will be painted factory green. :thumbup: :w00t::w00t::w00t: Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 You know the hooks and rails are going to cause uneeded drag. :rolleyes::lol::lol::lol: Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 You know the hooks and rails are going to cause uneeded drag. :rolleyes::lol::lol::lol: Yeah because this thing is SOOO aerodynamic! What do you think is more aerodynamic, a Datsun 520 or a shoe box? :lol::lol::lol: bobjones said: The biggest appeal of your truck is that it looks stock from the street but it Quote Link to comment

Jason Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Nice, new Bilsteins! I love those, gotta send mine in for rebuild now! Knock 'em dead! Quote Link to comment
thisismatt Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Right rear suspension. How cool is that? :eek: Maybe I'm looking at things wrong, but isn't your bump stop on the wrong side of the top hat? Quote Link to comment
Bob3 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Maybe I'm looking at things wrong, but isn't your bump stop on the wrong side of the top hat? No, it just looks funny. The rubber on top of the spring has a large hole in the center. The bump stop slides through no problem. Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Praying for your safe tuning day. And PATIENTLY :rolleyes::D waiting for videos. Quote Link to comment

Video soon! My buddy Craig was there getting some good shots and video. These are what my son Tommy got with a cheap camera. Stay Tuned! More to come!:eek::D:p Quote Link to comment
irsa76 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Very nice, love Eibach/Bilstein combo when I've installed them on VWs and Mercs in the past. I'm trying NOT to get the setup for my minivan, rather get another datto 720 and play with that. Quote Link to comment
