Completely different truck! Looks good man

02_24v2wd · 07-30-2010, 09:48 PM

thanks....I love the new look...think the black worked out real well.

DieselRiot · 08-04-2010, 02:13 PM

looks real good.

Loooks good!!!....not a fan of Rockstars....but everything else looks real good!

joelc79 · 08-04-2010, 02:58 PM

two tone trucks get no respect

SKYNYRD · 08-04-2010, 03:20 PM

looks good i have been thinking about doing the same to my rockers.

SSpeeDEMONSS · 08-04-2010, 08:17 PM

I'll be honest....they werent my first choice..I stared long and hard at the XD Hoss but I wanted to get away from a big dish/lip...plus the price was right at the time. That seems to win alot of times...haha.....thanks for the comments guys. I would personally recommend the rocker thing if you drive your trucks down alot of crappy rocky dirty paths...works real well.

What did you do with your other tires and wheels

fordcummins01 · 08-05-2010, 07:08 PM

don't like the rockstars..but, whatever blows your skirt up son

02_24v2wd · 08-06-2010, 12:39 AM

The other wheels are getting blasted and powder coated black for a winter set of rubber...

tinman23 · 08-06-2010, 07:23 AM

Hey 02, truck looks good! Rockstars are not my favorite either, but when the price is right, it's hard to pass up. Have you given any thought to either putting Herculiner on your step bars too, or maybe selling those & getting a set of black bars to put the Herculiner on? I had a set of wheel to wheel nerf bars on an 05 2500 with Linex on them and they looked really nice...and cleaned up well too! Also, going from a shiny chrome finish on the step bars to black helps them to "disappear" when you look at the truck from the side. To me it makes the truck look taller. Maybe that's not what you are going for, but the shiny finish on the bars kinda sticks out to me. Just my

I like the truck man, both before and after looks good to me!

J Rock · 08-12-2010, 02:08 PM

looks good man... ive always likes red truck with black wheels

02_24v2wd · 08-13-2010, 12:59 AM

I have been contemplating coating the bars...but im afraid that black bars and a black exhaust tip would just throw the amount of black over the top...im gonna throw the idea around a while before i commit but the idea is there. Thanks again for the comments.

Looks bad ass!!

peace2peep · 08-15-2010, 09:34 PM

A good deal can change your install plans! I think it really looks great! The black on the bottom pulls your eyes downward and gives the truck a classy two tone look.

GasFieldService · 09-14-2010, 09:44 PM

I LOVE ROCKSTARS!! I think they look sick!
